Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.

Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
Correcting the spelling of a company name
It will help the OP find information in the archives.
Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
She didn't make 1 spelling error that I can see.

The only help I can provide relates to (sm)
working night shift. As a MT, I am sure you are educated regarding our circadian rhythm. If you have worked a number of years doing 9-5, it's going to take a few months to get acclimated to night shift. Also, you may find yourself watching daytime t.v. rather than sleeping -- it can be addicting. Last, but not least, lack of sleep affects concentration and memory -- 2 key factors that need to be functioning at their very best while transcribing. Lots of coffee helps, but can rebound on you, as do sleep aids; prescription or OTC, the latter being the last resort. Good luck. Hope everything works out for you.
seriously...12,000 lines...., as the question above the post relates.

Correcting myself-SM
I meant to say stop working when other types of work come.
No wonder she is in spasms, correcting
every single sentence is ridiculous. You either have a very poor system for VR or something very wrong. Are you sure of yourself or do you question your ability? I could not work retyping every sentence.
no I'm too busy correcting the
mistakes, reformatting, deleting stuff the dictator did not say, adding things he did say, and thinking about using the hot keys to have my brain turn to mush. But I'd rather straight type any day.
Sorry, that was me correcting me - it is good discipline to do that. sm
If I allow the haphazard here, it might creep into my reports.
As long as we're correcting people
Someone could actually be a really fast typist but not a good speller. You should have said Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't spell well. If you're going to be snide, at least have it make sense.
Did you tell them to only send you the lines that needed correcting then?
Let me get this straight. They want you to read the entire report (which is considered working in my book), and there are no corrections, then you have just done them a favor? What do they take us for?
4000-5000+ lines per day of correcting awful VR? No thanks.

Bayou, why don't you read more carefully. I was correcting my OWN typo ! WOW !
Get a life !
The moderators said stop correcting people's posts - not questioning medical reports -
The OP was talking about in actual medical reports, not on these posts - or at least that is the way I took it.
I too am concerned about the way medical reports are looking and being put on charts. It is ridiculous and dangerous!!!
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin. I made a mistake they are located in Missouri. Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
Not a lot of room for error
If you know the BOS 2. Then apply. If you don't. Do not apply. A very strict MTSO to work for.
Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.* That was an error then, right? Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs. That is the reality. Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is? Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised. Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it. I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it. If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association. Period. Full stop. End.
you DO get an error message BUT
you can just bypass it. it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs. it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.
Good luck with your Grandma!!
Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Your post has an error....
If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?
Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board? I see an error. What gives? I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?
I would have to assume that works both ways. Have a great day!
That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m
n
My math error, sorry. sm
But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour, for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks. Burn out. Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.
but ya all go ahead..
If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports. For example: Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc. Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease. The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen. Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things. I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked. I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too. And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me. If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease. But, no one is saying ANYTHING. However, supposedly the money is there.......
I guess it depends on what your error was.
x
Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.
If one dares to point out an error a QA
made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm
.
It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors. If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!
nm
YES it requires more, well-know 50% med. error rate in hospitals nm,
. We have much more to know and keeping educating across the board than most medical people as we cross across ALLL medical/surgical specialities and related disorders/meds/products etc that go with them
I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm

ERROR: 1.60 PER MINUTE OF TRANSCRIPTION, HOWEVER, HAVE THE TIME SPENT WAS PASTING
NM
Just found out I have to buy error/omission insurance to remain IC. So long MDI.

Geez, that was a sloppy, error-ridden post on my part. Yikes, sorry...nm

spelling
conscientious
drs spelling more and more
Well, my doctors have started spelling EVERYTHING. I just shake my head and hope we are not gonna lose the account due to awful transcription.
Well with spelling like that, it's no wonder.
Advise? Intensions? Please.
spelling
I just want to clarify that I appreciated the help with the spelling....I know that recruiters look at this site and I am human and make mistakes...nobody should be offended.
Spelling
I have an idea on who you are. I have never had a complaint with anyone on my spelling. I will not have someone put my work down because you were upset that I could not offer you a position. I have worked many years in this industry and very hard. My MTs will tell you that I am there for them all day and evening to help. I will not respond back to you as I do not have time to go back and forth over an issue like this.
Spelling
I have no idea who you are then. I try to be very professional when working with the MTs. I am very busy and try to make sure all spelling is correct. Nobody has complained to me personally but if you feel that way then I am sorry you do. I work 14 hour days, 7 days a week so my eyes at times I am sure get tired. I was just defending myself as I put much time into my work and with my MTs who I am all grateful for.
