Any companies that actually train you in VR? - fedup
Posted: Jun 14, 2010
Are they any companies that give you *good* training in voice recognition, and not just expects you to know how to do it. Say a full day or several days of good, thoroguh training.
VR training - us_mt
[ In Reply To ..]I work for Focus Infomatics, and they train in VR. They gave us a lot of tips and keystrokes to use while doing VR. My speed on those is anywhere from 280-330 LPH.
How long was the training? sm - fedup
[ In Reply To ..]And was it just one on one with a trainer, or was it a group class?
VR training - us_mt
[ In Reply To ..]It has been a while since I did it (over 2 years ago) but I think it was 1 day, and it was done on a conference call with other MTs in the company. Then they sent out all the keystrokes to use to us by email. It really is a great company to work for. They have really changed a lot in the last year and a half. Better benefits, better training, with a U.S. based management team now. Where do you work?
I don't work anywhere currently sm - fedup
[ In Reply To ..]Just trying to find a good company to train with VR. Thanks!
Focus has horrible Voice recognition - Janet
[ In Reply To ..]I posted this above. Their voice recognition never improves, even after months on the account. I was shocked and disappointed at that. If they don't improve the VR, then it slows the transcriptionist down. I fixed the same VR errors again and again for months, and sent e-mails telling them the redundant errors, but never an improvement.
That should say *thorough* - fedup
[ In Reply To ..]And there should be a question mark after my first sentence. Sorry for my mistakes. I'm tired and fed up. lol
MQ holds phone/online workshops - on a regular basis
[ In Reply To ..]as well as a complete manual; however, no matter how much training you put yourself through, you still can't make any real money on the platform.
Please don't think I'm just whining about nothing. ASR is truly a substandard, completely frustrating platform on which to try and make a living. It is rare to be able to do more than 100-150 lph on ASR. You will also be rewarded with between 1 and 4 cents per line depending on how much work you send to QA.
Medquist is a no no - fedup
[ In Reply To ..]I've heard too many horror stories and am avoiding it like the plague. Thank you though!
..unless you get the Spheris accounts - Raina
[ In Reply To ..]A friend of mine just got hired a couple of weeks ago on the "Spheris side" of the Q, and they are training her on VR. She said they have a different pay scale on those accounts, although I am not sure why.

RE-TRAIN ACUTE CARE
May 10, 2013
I have been a transcriptionist for the past 22 years. I have worked in hospitals and clinics as well as an IC. Early in my career, I transcribed acute care, autopsy, pathology and radiology reports. For the past 15 years I have concentrated on transcribing radiology reports which has been profitable for me since I did not mind typing difficult dictators and ESL physicians. Currently, am fortunate to be working as a full-time employee and have my hourly rate.&n ...

What Is With These Companies?

Can anyone answer me why is it that these MT companies hire you and they all promise you the sun, moon and stars. Oh we have TONS of work. We guarantee you at least 11 accounts and 2,500 lines a day. Then you are sitting there 6 months later, waiting for jobs? I have experienced this many times. Can it be that its just bad management and they overhire? Does anyone know of a company that really does have TONS of work? I know this is the slow time of year, but many times its happened at othe ...

Any Companies Who Do Not Use VR? (sm)
Jun 02, 2010
The company I work for has gone VR (on most jobs). I cannot make any money doing this. My pay has been cut approximately $150 to $200 every two weeks. They have already taken away the incentives, and now if you screw up a couple of times on demographics, you do not get paid for the job, and the third or fourth time you are pulled from the account. I am just so frustrated. This VR is killing me. It takes more time to make corrections. It is frustrati ...

I am day after day running out of work, but yet I see an ad that they are hiring! I e-mailed the owner and asked about it and she didn't reply. I UNDERSTAND that they are hiring for a different account, BUT, since it's all transcribing, why not just move some people around and give those extra accounts to ...

Companies Using XP
Apr 29, 2011
Periodically, I will cruise the MT help wanted, and see some companies that list the system requirements as "must have XP." My question is this: I wonder if they mean must have at least XP or do they mean MUST HAVE XP. I find it difficult to believe that any system out there only works with XP, as Vista has been around for a good long while and even Windows 7 (which I wish DocQ would update to) has been out for a bit. I mean, it would be very difficult to find a computer ...

I have to wonder what happened. I know I will get a lot of answers to that question, but why in the world are we the ones getting such lousy pay? I am seriously ...
