Does anyone do VR that requires very little correction (sm) - pearl

Posted: Nov 28, 2011

or does VR generally require a lot of corrections? Is one platform better than another? I have done just a little bit of VR on EditScript and for the most part it requires very, very few corrections.

I'm assuming since you are asking this question that you are just starting out working with VR. I too do VR on EditScript. The answer is that it depends on how well the VR "knows" the speaker, meaning (in general) if the doctor has been in the system for a long time it will recognize a little better and require less corrections. However, it still can be ridiculously bad even for "old" speakers. I refuse to do VR reports from newer speakers. It can be absolutely terrible and you can end up retyping almost everything and getting paid for editing instead of typing. I just had one last night that took me over an hour and I made less than 4 dollars. I have been doing this for almost 7 years so I know what I'm doing. VR is a scam for MTs; we are training it to do our jobs.

I work on Dictaphone ExText. Some days it is - me

really good, and some days it is garbage on very good dictators. I have one PA and she is a dream dictator. For the most part VR gets the text correctly, but punctuation is off, headings not done correctly. Overall very little correction needed.

I have one doctor who I would not have put him on VR, but he isn't horrible. VR gives me complete garbage and how they get what they do I don't know because it isn't anywhere near what was said.

I think you may not have used it very long - sm

You'll be making lots of corrections.

As the original poster.....I have done just a little (sm) - pearl

VR on EditScript, I'd say less than a total of 7000 lines and I am already averaging 300-400 lines per hour. There is very little correction to do. All headers are formatted correctly. From what I am reading on the board, this isn't the norm. I am just wondering if the hospital or MTSO just isn't training the system correctly. This account had very particular rules about what to correct and what not to correct.

This is a correction and a reply that I got today: I typed: His dialysis and primary care doctor are at Keck USC. Correction: His dialysis and primary care doctor is at Keck USC. I questioned this correction and here is the answer I got: "The correction appears to me to be correct. It should be a singular verb. "Doctor" is a singular noun. Implies that the dialysis and primary doc is one and the same." Am I off my rock ...

Ok here is my question. Does anyone have Windows 7 Professional on their computer and use it for a platform that requires Windows XP? The reason I'm asking is...I want to buy a new computer but you cannot get Windows XP any longer, only Windows 7. I talked to tech support at Dell and they told me that if I am wanting XP, I will need to go with Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. They said that XP runs inside of that, whatever that means. I am wondering since X ...

landed a job that required experience that you did not have? I am getting so very frustrated. I have a job now that covers maybe a week and a half of groceries every month. I am pretty new to this field, but due to a ridiculously long college program, I have studied for well over a year and I know my stuff. I test very well and I know what I am doing. All I want at this point is a job with work available, but all of the decent deals seem to require experience. I just need some way around this. I ...

The U.S. Dept. of Labor requires time and a half pay for all hours over 40 worked in a work week. (I think only if employee status.) We are considered piecemeal workers and indeed are eligible for OT pay. This is to be paid at time and a half of your calculated average pay. I think Nuance is good about paying OT pay as you log in and out on their time clock. It is time we start including OT hours on our invoices. You might want to calculate your average hourly r ...

Has anyone figured out how the h____ this new trending and correction report percentage is working on Fiesa. Are they cherry picking the most difficult doctors to audit and skipping over the physicians that would balance the percentage score. That thing is so skewed, I cannot figure out for the life of me what it is suppose to reveal. It is totally biased against the MLS from what I can understand. ...

Does anybody know why Silent Type requires an in-house training? Is the platform so complicated that it can't be done through a Webinar or even just on the phone? I've worked for a few places over the years, and there was nothing that couldn't be handled in a phone call with, at most, some graphics in a Go To Meeting type deal. I just find it curious and makes me worry, like--if the platform is that cumbersome and complicated, do I want to work for them? Even when I w ...

On the first page of the Amphion job application, they're saying that you have to have a verifiable download time of 768 kbps or thereabouts, and they have a link so you can test this.

Recently a guy from the state called asking if the MTSO regularly "corrects" MT work. The answer is... what is the answer? I mean, an MT corrects their own work, to the best of their ability. If you get stumped on some bad audio or weird name or medication or medical term and Google fails, Word Help board fails, you send it to QA, and they try to fill in the final blanks. But is that really "correction"? Because the MT (if they aren't slacking and/or incompetent) knew they didn't kno ...
