before editing and she spends her day editing the editors. That sounds cost effective!
And my supv told me years ago - Loving VR

I suspect that folks editing at 700 lph are not as accurate as they think, or maybe I'm just slow.
How can you possibly have the sound turned up to max, never take your foot off the pedal,not spellcheck, not proof, and just scan over and expect 98% accuracy?
With the sound turned up, how do you hear accurate lab values, vital signs, med doses, etc. It is not possible for me. My VR is not accurate with number values at all. I need to read the report with comprehension, not just scan it.
There are people who can do this but some of the - Loving VR

things you are speaking about do not apply to me. I spell check every report when finished. I would never let a report go out not being checked. Expect 98% accuracy- mine is always that and above. I am graded. I have also done my particular account for years and years. It may not be possible for you- that does not mean others cannot accomplish. I am not saying I do 700 each and every hour of the day. I do straight work as well and I keep my foot on the pedal then also. Everyone works differently. I do not just scan. I read every single word that is on the screen. I have never proofed in my life, not with straight, not with VR but our job ask that we spell check and I think that is important.
An MT supervisor told me that when they aren't happy with an MT's work because they aren't following instructions or are getting sloppy, they just take them off the schedule. Sometimes they do it gradually and other times leave them with little or no work. They keep the work for the MTs who are doing the best job with the least fuss. Interesting. ...
I have taken a new job to transcribe for a hospital in Canada. What are the differences? Can you post (or email me) links for websites that you use for references - looking up doctors, meds, etc. Is the spelling different? ...

who totally ignores your high priority emals for weeks and doesn't deem you important enough even to send you a a quick answer? What kind of a place or mentality would do that? Makes me feel like I'm just a little pissant. ...
I haven't worked for DTS long, but knew Transcend was taking over and so far that looks good. I have had problems getting straight answers from DTS supervisor since hired, like when the supervisor, TL, and QA people were on duty. The nice recuiter told me she would get me a list without my asking, but forwarded the request to my boss who said she didn't know why I needed this information. Really? Isn't this the first information eve ...
Does anyone have any ideas of what to do about a supervisor who always says, "It is a privilege to work at home". She threatened me that I might have to come in-house to work because I complained about my keyboard no longer being compatible with the new computers. I have to work weekends in-house on a rotating schedule. I also said it is difficult to get readjusted when you go in house because the work station is different. I should have never complained because now she s ...
Thank God the anal, basket case, nutjob supervisor I have is leaving. No more phone calls every time I go to the bathroom. Hope I don't get something worse than her. ...
Who can I contact above my supervisor? I cannot get any kind of response from her about anything. Overnight, my work load dropped by more than half. Literally, overnight. ...
Anybody else get the e-mail message regarding NJA and changing schedule? What are your thoughts?
wondering if seniority will be taken into account? don't know why they want us all on second and third as they keep running out of work as well.
wish they would let us in on what is going on and let us be part of the solution instead of acting like we are the problem.
Sitting here becoming more and more stressed. Family is sick and tired of me being depressed/stressed over w ...
calls for overtime because she is afraid jobs will go out of tat over the weekend and when I get on to work, I have no work on my usual 10 accounts and get work from accounts I have never heard of before! What a way to help my line count and quality ...
I missed the conference call, which by the way was limited to the first what...25. Don't know if it was mentioned in that call or not since the ones who were left out are never updated on what was said in the meeting. Do we e-mail the helpdesk now for supervisory questions? ...
KF -- best supervisor -- worked harder than anyone I have ever worked with. Actually gave a damn about her job, the hospitals, the company, the MTs, and worked what seemed like 24/7 to prove it. I wish I could afford to quit in solidarity. What a truly awful place this is to work for. ...
Over on the job seekers' board, there is a posting for a coding supervisor. If you are interested in coding, it is worth taking a look. The requirements are typical and it only requires 2 years of experience. ...
...because so many people are not making 99.5% accuracy in their audits. Perhaps it is time to consider that whoever promised the client 99.5% accuracy has something quite strong in their medicine cabinet. For years, the standard has been 98% and that is for a reason. That number is possible with humans. Machines sure can't deliver 99.5%; just ask anyone who has to correct the harebrained interpretations of SR, which never learns, by the way. Do the doctors hav ...
region when I had had my fill of NJA on the last region I was assigned to. Where I am now is certainly not perfect, has some NJA, some nasty dictation, but I do have something to type the majority of the time.
If you could come up with the name of one of these supervisors with the critical backlog, fire off a request to be moved. Worked for me (about 10 months ago). ...
Has anybody worked for Transportal as a supervisor. I understand they get paid only for the work that the MTs do. Wondered how that works. Sounds like they don't make much money unless their team does. Need a reply ASAP, considering a new position. Thanks ...
Basically, story goes like this. Have been a transcriptionist many years. Thought I was moving up to a better line count with another company (having trouble making ends meet). Found this great pay rate with a national MTSO and signed on. Couldn't work full schedule since the beginning due to medical problems but did work consistently part time with excellent accuracy and no job-related complaints, nothing but praise for working a very difficult account. About ...
At this company for one year now and do not like it, not one bit. The main problem is that the 'manager' ignores my emails. I complained for MONTHS about the account I was on with a response like "I'll call you later" or response a few days later blowing me off. I finally get on another account and just do not like it.... not a good fit for me. oh, and my hours were cut to 30 and I'm sure it's because I complained about the other account. So ...
I am new to this MTSO so I have occasional questions and have directed them to my supervisor. Some get answered, many get ignored. I have asked some more than once. How frustrating. I'm not sure how to take this. I would think it would be to her advantage to answer them as it refers to formatting, etc. Maybe I should ignore her requests to work extra hours? How would you handle this? It really makes me wonder about this company. ...
If I take a bathroom break, she calls me to see what's going on. "I noticed you had logged out...what's going on?" Can't wait til they screw her over too. I've had 8 supervisors in the last year. ...
I will have to remember to do that tomorrow. Would anyone care to share the next paydate and when this pay period ends? Thank you in advance!
I do have to say having worked for Nuance previously they have MModal beat on providing info to employees. When I hired on with Nuance I got so much paperwork sent to me with info of every kind that there was not one question I could think of that was not covered. That has been a few years back so don't know if they still do that but that was ...
