In transcription for recognition and helping humanity?
Ummm no. Money.
IMHO, helping humanity is along the lines of teaching, volunteering, nursing, working with

i think it is automatic speech recognition but it is the same as VR which is voice recognition.
I would let DD go with Habitat for Humanity or a church mission, but not that wild party stuff.

Voice recognition or speech recognition.

Thank you very much for helping everyone! nm

just helping
hold your anger
helping ...
I'd really love to do this, but, with my health, I never know if its a 'good' day or not, generally not. My plans this year are painting, it'll be cool enough, and should be rather entertaining with 3 little dogs sticking their noses in the paint LOL
helping others
when I can reach through whatever pain is in my life and help someone else, my pain seems to lessen
Thanks for helping me to get a different (sm)
perspective on this. Both of your responses made me remember just how often the docs do say thanks, or have a nice day, or wish me a happy holiday if I happen to be working on one. Think I'll just try to remember to focus on the good ones and stop letting the ones with bad attitudes get to me.
Thanks again for letting me get that off my chest--hope you both have a great rest of the week! :)
Ya ain't helping yourself
Tru dat is slang expression appropriated from the urban/hip-hop culture that even here nestled in the far far reaches of the midwest I am aware of, rating right up there with foshizzle and the old favorites 'dissing', 'blood', and 'groovy'. If you believe that to be a mockery of Southeast Asian pronunciation, maybe Curious did hit the nail on the head.
Your school should be helping you
to find employment. All the best MT schools provide job placement assistance. At the very least, your school should be able to tell you what companies seek to hire their graduates. It should be something your school is proud and eager to share with you. If no one is willing to hire graduates of your school, you might have to bite the bullet and get some further training from one of the MT schools that turn out job-ready MTs. Companies are eager to hire from those schools because they know what they're getting. Good luck to you.
thanks for helping. I still don't know what to do though. I can't hear V5.
I do QA also and agree with that QA - she is helping you really. nm

Helping U.S. MTs is exactly my thought.
I don't really believe that there will never be a need for U.S. MTs, but I feel this may open up a new market for U.S. MTs, giving more expereinced MTs a new avenue for their skills (at least that would be my hope). I appreciate your comments, they really help!
thanks for helping to describe
what I cannot - and Jim is the guy that I talked to, also. I wanted to jump through the phone and kiss him when I finally found one to replace my old one. I am so glad someone knows what I am talking about.
Thank you all for this! I appreciate your time in helping me! (nm)

Thanks all for helping me make my point.

Well put, Me...I thought we were helping each other on this board. Just keep it to yourself next ti
Not very nice.
Auto Text thanx for helping :)
Helping is one thing. Preaching is another.

thanks again for helping - makes sense
as he is in very close proximity to a lot of businesses and they are tiny places and may not be aware they are sharing and he gets it for free. May have to take mine over and see what happens!
I am so grateful that there are such smart and kind people here to help. Thank you so much. When you walk into a store you never know what ulterior motives they have in telling you what you need!
everybody needs a helping hand some times--sm
boy, are you coldhearted. Glad you are not my friend/relative/neighbor.
A helping hand, sure. Not encouraging MT to

I'm helping a local MTSO out who is in a bind.
He uses Word and my company uses WP5.1. He sent me some templates and I can pull those up, but there is some header information with patient name, etc. that is shaded gray and I can't get to that to enter the information and I don't know enough about Word to know what to do at this point. The MTSO knows even less about Word than I do and the MT that did the account is out for surgery.
I hope I'm making sense and someone can tell me what to do or what to go to look for the information. I've done straight typing in Word using templates previously and I have not had to do any formatting, so this is all new to me.
I have no problem helping people who deserve it
I welcome anyone from there who has gotten up in the morning and worked like the rest of us and was hit with an unfortunate run of bad luck, but when I see people taking TV's out of stores, shooting at the EMT's who are trying to help people, and crapping all over the Astrodome, no thanks. I don't want them in my city or even on my planet.
It cut off my reply... I worked with one guy who was helping pay thru med school by transcribing...

Another "Google It" response! Enough already! Lend a helping hand.
Just so everyone know, I can ill afford 50.00 but that is what life is about, helping people (inside
I have no family, just 2 pets. I am probably going to be out of a job soon myself, but if I cannot help someone else then my days are numbered. $50.00 will not kill me. It is pointless to say she should have been prepared, evidently she was, she HAD insurance. If I can make anyones load a little lighter I can live on that at least 6 months. To know you are not alone in this world might keep someones hope to keep on keeping on just one more day, then my moral values have been enlightened. The key word is "morals."
I think sometimes we are getting as cruel and thougtless as the companies who want profits at any cost. They are teaching us that. We seem to be learning well by some of the posts to this person's dilemna. I for one am not going blind yet, although my mother did right before her death and it broke my heart as she loved to read.
"Compassion," what happened to that? So far at 63 I am still healthy. I have no insurance, I cannot afford $500 a month, but I can still offer help to a fellow human being.
Merry Christmas and to all a good night.

It's my daughter (rcv'd AA in ང). She's helping a friend with (smsg)
the friend's final project in video production. My daughter is taking the stills for it, which is allowed. She is going to be mentioned in the credits and was wondering how it would look. Her AA is in photography.
I do agree, though, it's not "that" big of an accomplishment in the everyday world. Kind of like CMT... , although I would use that in something like a cover letter for a resume.
Yeah, I'd have to let them start helping with the cooking to learn some appreciation (sm)
"Sounds mean but I came from a family of 7 that had only 1 income and we ate what was put on the table and if we complained too much then we had liver and spinach the next night. "
That's hilarious! Your parents were smart! I grew up the same way, except that spinach was one veggie we liked, and mom only made liver twice a year because she hated it herself.
What type of doctor specializes in helping people gain weight?
I'm kind of baffled on what my mother should do, and I'm hoping that someone out there has typed a report on something like this.
My mom weighs 78 pounds and cannot gain weight through diet. She has seen several doctors, and they are not sure what she should do. Is there a type of doctor that specializes in this?
Her history is that she had a severe H. pylori infection. When I was a kid it was so severe that her stomach ulcers hemorrhaged and she went into a coma for a while. By the time H. pylori became an actual diagnosable condition, the infection had eaten away most of her stomach. She went on antibiotics finally, but by that time she had to have the majority of her stomach, some of her intestines, and her gallbladder removed.
She now eats quite a bit, but everything runs right through her. She can't gain weight no matter how much she consumes. She has tried all the protein drinks and even tried eating large quantities of trail mix with no results. She can't gain weight no matter what she tries.
She has seen several doctors and a dietician. None have have offered any real solutions and all have questioned whether she is anorexic and just hiding it.
Does anyone know of a clinic or hospital that specializes in this? Are there any types of treatment for this?
Not for recognition
But I am glad I have found a way to make money which also benefits others.
MQs speech recognition.

speech recognition
I worked with speech recognition at my last job and I didn't like it. It took longer and alot of mistakes came through. You were editing, but I found I could do a better and faster job typing it myself. Everyone's production went down and error rates went up because you become complacent and when you are reading along with the words playing in your ears your eyes have a tendency to overlook a lot of little things that should be edited. I did not find it productive or helpful just a mess.
Speech recognition
I am on speech recognition as it comes up. Don't have it all the time and it is on the DQS platform. I enjoy the break from typing but can be slow as you really have to listen to every word and make the corrections where necessary. The fastest typists just erase the entire report and retype. I just listen and make corrections. I have not had a pay reduction as of yet since this is not all I do. I am still paid my regular per line rate for SR but rumor has it that this will change but this is only a rumor, nothing in writing. If you do not like editing, can always tell them that you just want to type and not edit. I am on high speed internet also. Hope this helps.
Voice recognition
There's an ad on Mtjobs.com for editors for a voice recognition account. The company is called Focus Infomatics.
Voice recognition?
Hello, new to these boards and I have a question.
Is there a voice recognition software that will work for medical reports? I'm not sure how it would work, if it would actually translate the speech directly from the dictation you are listening to on your computer, or if you'd have to listen and speak it at the same time for the software to translate it?
I've been doing MT for about 3 years now and I'm developing hand/wrist pain, and I'm afraid my time in this profession may be running out. I really love this work and I'm hoping to find a way to make it work.

Voice recognition
Naturally Speaking v.8 works great if,
The digital voice recorder can deliver at 44.1 khz. However, these are .wma files and are HUGE!
The user takes the time to teach the software the nuances of his/her voice. This takes weeks.
The user knows how to punctuate. There are a lot of smart people that don't know where the hypen goes.
The user uses standard dictation commands ie. full stop, new paragraph ect.
If not, you end up with a blob if inaccurate info that's going to the MT for clean up.
If so, you end up with a relatively accurate doc that still should go to a MT for proofing.
IMHO, there's a lot of speech recognition software on shelves all around the world.

That too has now gone to voice recognition

Does anyone use voice recognition to help them do their job?
Voice Recognition
After hearing about it for years, I finally did my first VR work a few days ago. My fellow MTs, I think we have nothing to fear from this technology. It will take years, probably a generation, before it is perfected enough to replace us. I actually found it rather entertaining to edit - it just prints out exactly what it hears phonetically, including the instructions - "Go back up and add...."
I think they should show some Voc Rec printouts and transcribed reports of the same dictations at all Medical Staff Meetings so dictators can see just what we do in our job.
Voice recognition
...I agree with your post Desertflour, but for a different reason. Medical language specialists should keep statistical analysis of what VR types and present it to administrators to show how much they are foolishly throwing their money away! By the time the MLS edits and corrects, it is almost like retying. Where's the savings?
Voice Recognition
I've done voice recognition in the Radiology department for a hospital for two years. I wasn't there when they first started using it, but I'm told the goal was for them to have only one Transcriptionist (editor). We're fully staffed now (actually today was my last day there - I'm working at MQ now) and let me tell you, those docs are not even close to being ready to solve their own problems and self correct. There is only one doc out of 17 that self corrects, and his reports don't look good at all.
I'm not saying it'll never happen, but I think we're going to be needed for awhile.
voice recognition
Could somebody tell me about voice recognition as far as transcriptionists using it? How does that work? I'm really interested. I know that several years ago it was the talk, but I think everybody found out it was not very good or easy to train. Are transcriptionists now using it to transcribe dictation? and how do they do this?
Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition (VR) software does require some change in discipline for the dictator. However, today's VR programs are much more intelligent than in years past (and not too past, either).
The key to successful VR is the "training" of the software for a particular user. Once that's done, the software can do a 95%+ job in accuracy. And, after correcting any errors, the software gets even more accurate.
I'm a speaker this weekend at the San Diego AAMT chapter meeting. I'm giving a talk on how VR can be used to make MT's more efficient. I think it's time more MT's took a serious look at letting VR help them get more work done more quickly. I have 3 MT's in my family, so it's not just the salesman in me speaking - I truly think you could get ahead of the game and negate your doctor's switching on their own ("Hey, Doc, I'm already using VR, so you don't have to go through the hassle"). And Dr.'s don't have time to be fooling around with software, training, corrections, etc.
Just my two cents.

Voice Recognition
We're moving to use Packet8 VoIP service. We've been studying VoIP solutions for some time now, and I think they have the best program (we'll see when we begin testing it soon). Their calls use less bandwidth than Vonage, which we like. As for back-up phone lines, you can configure the Packet8 system to route calls to your cell phone (or another land line) if your Internet connection goes down. We like that feature particularly. We're on a fixed-price LD plan with SBC right now, so the LD savings aren't much, but for our toll-free line, we stand to save a bundle!
It is voice recognition...probably 2.5 cpl.
You edit what the system/computer puts out which could sometimes be nearly the entire thing for that amount per line! No fun!
Thanks MT Stars for the recognition!!!...n/m
