I trained the voice recog at a company

Was running perfect for a while and then it all went to heck in a handbag. Took more time to transcribe an ASR then for me to retype the entire report especially since all my docs were macro'd. I believe they tried it overseas left the filter on and it got all messed up and I think they will continue until this particular company has all editors and will be making appx 7.50 an hour, that is what an ex-supervisor from there told me. Needless to say I moved on.

Looking for Voice Recog. Redictate job?sm
I was told some companies have MTs who listen and then re-dictate, is that true? Who are they? Is it Transcend? Thanks for info. PTCruiser
If they say internet-based ASP, is that just the platform, or is it voice recog? nm

Voice Systems (this is a company)
does any company NOT do voice or speech rec?
nm
company named Voice Systems
What does anyone know about a company in Georgia named Voice Systems? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay well? Thanks very much.
Info on company Voice Systems in Georgia -- Anyone?
Have an offer to work with this company, must purchase DropChute for $200. Anyone ever heard of them?
Test dictations are often bogus and not true voice files from the company. Need to ask. nm

Already trained, not by me
Reports were corrected numerous times and sent back.
Have you been trained yet?
They only spent an hour training me on the Dictaphone platform and no training at all on the account notes. They emailed them to me and told me to type away. There is no limit to the amount you can type either. I am a high producer and had to send them all to QA. Transtech is a friendly place to work but I was not impressed with the lack of training. It is definitely for people who must work on their own. I think I got paid for 8 or 10 hours training pay and that was it.
The way I was trained as an MT
First of all, I have to say that Long-Time MTs attitude stinks.
That said, I did not attend a formal training program, but was mentored to become an MT. I was taught that I should know whether a drug is brand or generic and, thus, whether or not it should be capitalized. In addition, I should know correct dosages and what the drugs are used to treat!
With all due respect, I think that if you have to continuously look up the same things over and over, you should find a better system. I was also taught that to have to do so is a waste of time, and we all know that time is money, especially in this business.
Why not get trained on it then you will get a mix
/
Yes they can. If you have to be trained
for your job, i.e., maybe new procedures, software, etc., yes they can if you want to continue to work for them. Even as an IC, you have to meet their requirements to work there.
If the VR program has been trained and you are
little manual transcribing (and you are an experienced MT to start with), you could expect to be at about 2000 to 2500 lines a day in just a couple of months. At 3.75 cpl, that is $75 $93.75 a day.
If you do manual transcription on a good platform and can average 1500 lines a day at 9 cpl, you would earn $135 a day.
You would need to factor in if they pay for headers, footers, spaces and if everything you are getting is VR reports from the more difficult dictators with a lot of editing that would be needed AND how often they run out of work. Sten-Tel has a reputation of giving their MEs the harder dictators and running out of work often, although your mileage may vary.
I'm only trained on 1 account. nm
I actually prefer to be trained
this way rather than getting stuck on the phone endless hours. Would you mind emailing me the name of the company?
Trained, but didn't like software
The staff was very nice, seemed organized in getting equipment out. Was not disclosed full details of shift. You must be on 8 hours, you are logged the whole time. It took the better part of a day to be set up. The next day it took an entire morning to be trained. The trainer did not seem well versed with the software, constantly put on hold to take other calls. Constantly said will call back in 5 minutes and it would be 2 hours. Not paid for demographics that take a lot of time and software was very cumbersone and to me not production friendly. Positives were employee status and the benefits were average. Was told top pay for acute care is 9 cents 65 character line. I decided it was not for me, but someone else may like the software and adhering to a strict schedule. Everyone was friendly.
When I trained/worked for Medware,
more than 2 hours because the trainer like to gab and not necessarily keep on track with the training. So, no guarantee that you will be finished.
If there are backup accts then everyone should be trained on them
If there is no work and no backup account then there is a huge problem. Please clarify the above. Have you asked for a backup? As for working at Sears, Im sure if business was slow you would have to stick around but they would pay you for your time.
trained 2-3 days after contact....sm
I work there now. My training was 2-3 days later. I live in California, they are in Maryland, I did not have a long distance bill . They call you and you have your training watching them teach you on thier computer, the training is short.
I have been there 3 years and only do rad. I was trained well and love my job. sm
The only complaint I have is that 2 accounts I was on went to Powerscribe. I was put on different accounts because I do not like to edit VR, so there was really not a problem. I get a lot of work and love my lead!
MT for many, many years, hired, trained
And you think x is trying to be superior?
I have a question. If what you say is true, that people on here ask legitimate questions and there are no dumb questions, only people too dumb and proud to ask questions, that does not also responses as well? Why is it that x has been relegated to the bottom of the heap of humanity for expressing hers?
SHE'S the one with the attitude? Puh-leeze, go stand stand in front of a mirror and deliver that diatribe to your audience of one.
Have done QA and trained folks and will tell you, not all experience is industry standard
x
Who did your training? When I worked there, I was trained from someone in India, very hard to
understand what he was saying. Communication is less than ideal as there seems to a language barrier and comprehensive. I used to think NO was a universal language but to them it just means keep asking until the other person is so frustrated they are ready to reach in through the phone lines or IM and tear out your vocal cords LOL. Joking aside. Awful experience. I worked too hard, made too little and the HR person was the worst EVER.. real airhead.
I'm being trained for QA, and the guy taking me through the training acts like it's rocket sci
I think he's making it out to be harder than it really is. Glad to hear so many actually find it easy.
they have on their site Internationally and Domestic trained MT-s. Don't work for them! Outsour
.
I was told by several actual Indiam MTs that they were trained by watching ER episodes and typing SM
as the show was aired. They were rated on their speed, not accuracy! He said that when he did start working, the actual reports were to be edited in the US, so accuracy did not matter. I found this shocking, although the best line rate there at the time was 2-3 cpl. His accounts that he was assigned in India were for many US VA hospitals He has since come to the US and works online for a major company, last time I spoke with him, he was getting 11 cpl. He must have been trained with one of the more complicated episodes of ER...LOL BTW, I did tell him that he should be an entertainment industry MT, he would probably make more money...
voice
I almost took a job there but it was correcting voice recognition which I tried once and did not like.
MT is different in that each voice
So, an IC has the right to not take a voice file. These contracts that state certain lines per week are for employees not ICs. An IC has the right to pick and choose work just like any other profession.
Also, painters do not sign contracts ahead of time. You sign a receipt when the work is complete. Another thing is when you find a painter that agrees to a timeframe and sticks to it, let me know. They are contractors just like us where things come up and they cannot complete the work. It is all part of being a contractor and being self-employed.
Voice rec
What companies pay 6 cpl for voice recognition?
Voice Systems
What can anybody tell me about this company? Good, bad? TIA.
Voice systems
I would check this company out completely. I worked for this people just under a different company name about 4 years ago. The company filed bankrupcy and then reopened under Voice systems. Cindy and Lex have a reputation of being very unprofessional and they will bully an employee as well as a client. Just check them out thoroughly, they could have changed. I am trying to remember the name of the company, but I cannot off the top of my head. I will look into old tax records and see if I can find. They were based out of Albany GA at that time as well.
Voice Systems
I would not recommend Voice Systems. I had bad experience with them!!!

Voice transcription - sm
Thinking about testing for them. I checked the archives and can't find anything. This is all voice recognition work. I worked on editing voices files for the previous company I worked for. I like doing this work, but didn't like the fact that it was less money. I'm thinking I may be able to produce more to make up for the decrease in line rate. Any thoughts on this company?
Voice Systems of Ga.
Don't do it!!!!! Very unprofessional.
FYI: Voice Transcription
I keep seeing people post about this horrific company and I thought I would share my experience with them:
1. I still haven't received payment for work that I completed in November!! The owner (initials J.L.) keeps giving me different excuses of why she hasn't paid me. The one check I did receive from them was a month late.
2. After one of my many emails about the money owed to me and how much exactly is past due, she sent me an email saying the amount wasn't right and that we had agreed on a lower rate for one of the clients!! Absolutely NOT true!! So, after I completed this work, she apparently decided that I would be paid 0.045 and not the 0.06/line as promised (VR editing acct.).
3. I actually ended up quitting because J.L. went off on a rant saying that I had made an unacceptable mistake in one of the reports. Later, after I proved that I was right, she apologized and said that she had a temper because of a three day migraine.
Now, I only worked for this company for two months (thank goodness it wasn't longer). If you're okay with being treated like this and not getting paid for work that you complete and her changing your rate, then go for it, but I would highly advise against it!! For those of you below that stated you had not been contacted after testing, just thank your lucky stars that you aren't working for her and hopefully you'll take my advice and never work for her.
Voice Systems of GA
I don't think you would be happy with them. Not very professional.
Voice recognition.
As far as I know, they only have one account and it is overstaffed so it is really hard to make any money. Some of the people hired for that account have moved on.
Voice Recognition
Does anyone know which companies hire reviewers/editors for VR work? My hands/fingers are starting to really bother me and I need to shift gears. Thank you!
Voice Recognition
For anyone out there who does voice recoginition can you tell me what you average per hour for lines. Just curious to see if I am on the right page with it. Thanks
couldnt tell by the voice

Accounts going Voice
The accounts I am working on are going voice, I just read it in their news. My company did not tell me this. All the while I felt like I was being used because it seemed like I was getting clean-up work. There are hundreds or doctors and I rarely get the same one, so it's hard to get any speed up. I have been given additional accounts, and checked them out and they will soon be going voice too. Do I just hang in there or look for something with less doctors and more stability? I am so disappoionted. Have only been doing this for a few years, but wonder about the future. My questions to the company I work for go unanswered. Any input?
voice recognition
So far I have had the opposite effect (drop in production), BUT I have only been doing it for two months. Does someone have any hints???
Voice speed
I can't help with that as when I fix the voice through Express Scribe it stays that way.
Voice Solutions?
Does anyone out there use Voice Solutions by Central Voice, especially in conjunction with Meditech? Just curious what all you had to have on your comp. to set up.
voice recognition.
I have been talking with a woman from Diskriter about part time shift and she did say something about willingness to learn about voice recognition. Does that mean that all the Transcriptionist become editors or how exactly does that work out for those working for them? Will there be layoffs?
Speech/voice
You are so right! Some of the idiotic things typed by the speech systems make me cringe. Presbyacusis came out please be a Q-tip. I hope those people sitting in the board rooms drooling at the prospect of makeing more off the backs of transcriptionists get a wakeup call when they are hit with lawsuits because of system errors not caught by fatigued editors trying to walk on water for 3 to 4 cents a line. I prefer to take responsibility for my own documents, not those created by speech recognition.
The voice of reason.
Did that, just voice mail. nm

Voice Systems
There is an ad on mt.com for an orthopedic Transcriptionist by C. Adams of Voice Systems in FLORIDA. I did a search in MT Stars and there were some very bad things about Voice Systems in GEORGIA. This seems to be the same company. I am glad I searched here before I applied! I doubt if they have changed much.
Voice recognition
Take my advice and avoid voice recognition if you can. Half the pay for the same job!
