ME corrections - how to get them to be incorporated into speech - alphamt

Posted: Sep 21, 2010

I have had so many dictators dictating the same PE, etc. and have to continually change the same things. Is there a way to make a heading such as CHEST from "the chest is..." work? I have one doctor whose "dilutional" is always speeched as DELUSIONAL. How can I make these corrections work. Suspect it requires a call to SUPPORT with job ID, ad nauseum documentation.

I suspect that only IT can re-correct these Speech errors, and not us as was originally explained. Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me.

either make your own standard for this doctor - or

for words like "delusional", add it to your shortcut expander with a letter Z after. Then, as you come along in ASR, add z, hit spacebar and it changes.

I did this for numbers one through ten as ASR always spells them out, so instead of highlight and correct, I just hit z space.

This way, on a report where you need delusional, it will not expand (or change) to dilutional because of the letter z.

expand with a Z--cool - Adios

Great tip! I will definitely do this. Especially for numbers. It's a shame we have to come up with these things on our own, but a very cool solution.

Thank you so much.

Please somebody help me with this? - zeni

Ok, I get the adding a "z" at the end of a word. But how do you quickly get to the end of that word? I can press ctrl-arrow key and get to the beginning of the next word, but what's the control to get to the end of a word? Hope somebody can help me with this.

no shortcut that I know of to get to end of word - or girl

you could just go to beginning of next word and arrow back, or use mouse (hate relying on that thing), but I have done this for a couple years and I feel I do ok on ASR. Not horrible, not great.

I do this with a lot of the words that ASR refuses to change, like cabbage.

It will take a day to get used to it, but I promise it will become second nature or secondz (2nd) nature!!

Thanks, your tip worked great!....sm - zeni

I tried going to the beginning of the next word and then pushing left arrow to go back and it works! Thank you!

Ctrl and arrow right - To get to end of next word

Is that what you wanted?

Exam Expansion - MT

I have as many "macros," as possible for physical exams. I highlight the ASR exam text, then just type whatever command for that dictator's exam, and it all pops us. Of course, I do a full listen and make any possible changes. I have more of these now than when I did straight typing. I really does help.

Not much you can do with delusional/delutional.

Delusional/dilutional - MT

I stand corrected, there is something you can do with delusional/dilutional!

what? - MT2

[ In Reply To ..]
what can you do?

See poster "or" message - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Poster "or" suggested placing in expansion file to change delusional to dilutional.

Thanks for the tips! Mademyday! nm - alphamt

We were told that if we highlighted and retyped the - text correctly,

ASR would eventually "learn" the correct way. Uh-huh. That has happened.

it will never happen... ASR will not learn - no matter what hoops we jump through

We just have to learn to adapt around ASR.

Does anyone know if there are tax benefits to being incorporated as an IC? I was once told that if I was incorporated I did not have to pay part of the self-employment tax.

Unbelieveable..for years I have been typing comorbid, now I get a correction of co-morbid all throughout my report. In the past, I have been told to change cc to mL but then I got corrected by MME and so went back to cc, now I am corrected again that it should be mL. I have been told in the past, if it is not followup, then write it this way without a dash, follow up, no dash. Now I am corrected to put the dash in, follow-up.

Three or four times in the last two days I have gotten one of those unfriendly FIESA MAJOR ERROR alerts . . . only, that's not my work. I know without a single doubt that I did not make those errors, and seemingly some of these so called 'errors,' would have been flagged by spellcheck. What's up with that? Offering rebuttal in their comment section is pointless, it's just a waste of time since no one really reviews those or sends any feedback. I'm just f ...

You know, where you have to stop and type in a "his," "the," "no," "were," "and," or separate a run-on into 2 sentences, add a "She" to a sentence, change a letter, join 2 sentences into one, etc., because VR goofed. This has been working well for me: Use SINGLE LETTERS (T, E, F, and so on) for the very most common words and corrections. Like T for "the," N for "no," E for "was", J for "has," F for macro that toggles letter from lower to upper and upper to lower ...

I work on v 9, 10 and 11 and I have noticed that when I make corrections on some VR reports the corrections do not seem to stick by the time they get to QC. I have seen mistakes that I distinctly remember correcting while I am editing and then they show up as not corrected on the QC reviews. Thankfully it hasn't happened on post-audit but it is pretty upsetting. I had my TSM check a couple of them and sure enough, the mistakes were there when sent by me, so either I have become a hor ...

I swear the speech engine just makes up the output as it has no resemblence to what the doctor says! We got a note stating we were making too many errors and our quality had gone down, with a side note that QAM knows we are struggling to maintain our counts, but this does not matter. Every once in a while I get told to slow down. Heck,I doing the best with what I have and the fatigue of doing this all day. Only minor errors such as leaving in an extra pronoun or such.

I had a fairly short note that was easy - and correct - except for a couple of lab terms I wasn't sure of because the dictator slurred over them. Wanting the report to be correct, I submitted it to QA in the hope that the "smarter" QA person would hear the lab terms and fill them in. Ha! She didn't know either, but instead went through and "corrected" things that didn't need correcting, I'm sure in order to justify her job. No more will ...

we have dictators who compose sentences such as this: "A xx-year-old female accompanied by daughter in secondary to within the last week has run out of her amlodipine, Prozac and clonidine anywhere from 3-5 days ago each of these." I kid you not, that is what this doctor said. American doc, speaking clear English. Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with that? It is a verbatim account, but the last time I let some gobbly gook like that go through I got chewed out for it (!) ...

Sep 14, 2011

This is a first for me. The doc is NOT ESL. But, it took me quite a while to figure out what she was saying when I heard, "The patient lickscrapitus in his knee." Later on, I realized that she was has difficulty with pronouncing some A's and E's correctly. So, the "lickscrapitus" was "lacks crepitus", which is also a rather odd way of making the statement, IMHO. Why don't the facilities/MTSOs notify the MTs when there is a doc on the account with certain s ...
