Not doing VR yet, but interested - in saving some wrist power! LOL

Posted: Oct 19, 2009

I wonder which systems are the best to work on. I know the pay is lower, but I think after 20 years, I would love to save some wrist power....

VR - question

Do you want like Dragon voice recognition so you have to actually dictate the report yourself? Or do you work for a company where the VR is done for you already and all you need to so is make corrections to the already transcribed report?

I've only tried during training a little VR - sm

Where the report was already there. I was in training to work for Transcend using BeyondTxt I think it was called. I was going to need to learn shortcut keys using the F keys I think. But, for personal reasons, I couldn't complete the training.

I now am wondering if after 20 years I shouldn't look for another VR job to save on my keystrokes.

You will save a little wrist power but it is a lot more brain work. sm - Multi-MTSO MT

I do lots of VR work at Focus and, unfortunately, MQ.

It is a lot more concentration and brain work. I would say probably 30% to 40% less hand work and, at that, different keystrokes as you have key combinations to keep the voice file with the transcription file, insert, replace, etc.

You have to make a dedicated effort and allow yourself time to learn it and to follow it but it can be profitable. Now that I am well adjusted to it, I love it and usually make better at it (at least at Focus) than with straight typing.

Looks like I am surrounded...gonna have to eventually - MT2020

I am doing some research on medical coding. I have looked at Andrews Coding School and Career Step. Both seem to be close but Career Step states it takes much less time to finish, which I am guessing is to get you in to their school and not reality but that is only a guess. The cost is also a huge difference. Has anyone here gone through either school and would you recomend one over the other? Any advice is appreciated. ...
