Word 2003 speech recognition program
Posted By: Siren on 2008-09-20
In Reply to:
Has anyone heard of this or used it? I have Word 2003 and it has a built in speech recogition program that I did not know existed. From what I can see, I just have to download the software, purchase a microphone headset, and train the thing. Has anyone used this, is it proficient, and has it increased your transcription production. Also, I transcribe in ChartScript/NetLinc which is a Word-based program. For those who have used the speech recognition through Word would this work for me?

i think it is automatic speech recognition but it is the same as VR which is voice 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.
Speech Recognition
Does anyone use speech recognition software for better transcription productivity? If so, I am interested in learning more about it & would like to talk. Thanks.
Speech recognition
I absolutely love editing speech recognition. After typing for 20 years, it definitely gives my hand a break. I like the pay as well.
Does anyone work with speech recognition? sm
We are currently learning this, and I hate it. It's not editing others' work, its doing your own transcription with speech rec. Does anyone else do this, and like it? Anyone had success with it, or failures? I'm seriously thinking of quitting my company, as we have to give this three months trial to get used to it, before we are considered for being taken out of the program. 
All I hear from work is how wonderful it is, how positive, how everyone hates it at first but once you get used to it how you love it. I don't think so. This just isn't for me. There are others who feel the same way, but you never hear about them, unless you happen to stumble across those particular people somehow; which I have.
speech recognition sucks
They are selling it to docs and hospitals based on one thing only, it will cost them less money. Guess why?
It will cost US more money.
The only good thing I have to say about it is this: I know one of the major hospitals in my area is trying it and failing miserably.
They came out of the barn with this donkey a wee bit too early.
Automatic Speech Recognition (nm)

ASR question (speech recognition). sm TIA
For someone who transcribes roughly 250 LPH on acute care, what would the introduction of ASR due to her line count? Could she potentially increase it?
Back end speech recognition.
Can anyone tell me if this is a difficult job? Would this be much different than proofreading my own reports while listening to the sound file? What is the going line rate for something like that? Is it better pay than regular transcribing?
Thank to all who can soothe my nerves!!!!
question about speech recognition. sm
Do you need high speed internet for speech recognition? I've been informed by a company I edit for that they are going to incorporate speech recognition into ASP. I was also recruited by a company I recently left to rehire to do speech recognition. I can only get dial-up where I live. No DSL or cable. Could get satellite, but so many companies say no to satellite. Thanks!
Speech recognition platform. sm
The company is called MultiModal. They said they're going to integrate it with ASP. The other company I don't know.

Speech recognition good or bad?
Is ASR using DEP/DocQscribe better than traditional transcription? What are the benefits & disadvantage of using ASR/DocQscribe? All input appreciated. Thanks.
Speech recognition discussion
In reading the news release posted below about Nuance buying escription, I was wondering how different SR platforms are working for us MTs. I do ASR on DQS and have found that on my main account the ASR is pretty good, so I don't have to make tons of changes.
I tend to like doing the speech recognition and here is why I think that is so in my case:
If I get my primary account it recognizes pretty well and I don't get much junk to have to change.
Also, I can usually turn the speed to the fastest whereas straight transcription is usually about the halfway point for me, so I think I am getting it done faster.
Another thing is that I never did get into the habit of really tweaking my Expander the way a lot of other MTs have. I have seen some say they put anything that takes more than 3 characters into an expander. I am getting better about this but not to that degree, so I think SR is faster for me.
I think I have some carpal tunnel issues starting up so I can't transcribe for as long a stretch as I can edit.
All that being said, about 25% of my work still comes through as straight transcription and it is a good thing because that significantly affects my hourly rate for the better, so I am not losing lots of $, although I have lost some. 
So my question is two-fold: If you do SR, what system are you using? What has things specifically have made it better/worse for you?
The thing is, speech recognition is only
as good as the dictator dictating and the person reviewing the record before it is sent.
ASR = Automated Speech Recognition
MQ SPEECH RECOGNITION INFO WANTED
Hi,
Can someone who works for MQ and is on speech recognition give the rest of us some info as to what it is like, what the pay is, and whether or not a person would want to do it? It would be helpful info to have in case our office called and asked us if we wanted to be on that or not. I don't know if they have various speech recognition platforms, but I am on DQS and high speed internet.
Thanks
Speech recognition in court reporting
... You are right on. As I was doing my research into possibly getting into court reporting, low and behold, I find "voice writing" and VR coming into this field. This is impacting their profession also but at this time not to the degree VR has in MTing.
Radiology Transcription vs Speech Recognition
I have been doing radiology transcription now for 20 years. They say Radiology is usually the first speciality to go over the speech recognition usually - as it tends to be repetitious with usually a lot of "normals". Even with that said, most companies that do have radiology transcription are paying "by the report" these days, with most of the normals going to an automatic transcription system of some sort and the long reports (MRIs, CTs, Nuclear Medicine, invasive studies, etc.) still going to the transcriptionists. I have heard it said that it "averages out", but I'd be leary about signing up for say 96 cents to 1.35 (that seems to be about the range) to transcribe a report - no matter what the length these days, because it seems like there are no guarantees that the normals and shorter reports will still be going to the Transcriptionist and not to SpeechQ, inhouse, or speech recognition programs. I'd say check it out well before you "jump ship". The grass sometimes just looks greener on the other side. Only my 2 cents... Best of luck - whatever you decide to do.

Running Voice Files Through Speech Recognition. SM
Does anyone run their voice files (DSS and WMA) through a speech recognition program and then edit them? Just wondering if that is any faster than actually typing it myself. The doctor is a very clear dictator, so I'm wondering if the speech recognition would pick it up okay -- but wouldn't be able to teach the software to recognize her voice the way the instructions say to.
Also, does anyone using speech recognition listen to the dictation and then redictate it into speech recognition software themselves? I would be able to train the software to recognize my voice then.
Just trying to think of a few ways to increase my productivity and save my wrists at the same time. Thanks for any suggestions and comments.
RE: Using stop -start program, but cnanot get true speech files to play - any one with any ides it w
 would greatly appeciate any advice as to why the start stop program will place the vox files but not the true speech even Iafter I told to associat wiht true speech and so on... The time flickers like it wantt to open the file but it never opens.... THe the error comes up file is too smlal to be a valid sound file or missing file" Actually the start stop will place the Regan Speech sample audio that is a true speech file so I would think it could play true speech files

Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.
I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?
Darn Microsoft.
Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm
I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.
I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000. Has anyone done this or doing it now. If so, have you run into any problems.
I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company. I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription.
I am interested to hear any and all comments. Thank you so much in advance for any help!
Changing Excel 2003 Addresses Into Word 2003 Addresses
Hello !
I have a large amount of addresses listed on an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. I need these addresses for Word 2003 letters. I end up copying the address from Excel and pasting it into Word, but as you can imagine, the pasted address is in a straight line and I end up having to type the address so it displays correctly for a letter. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to change the Excel address format to a Word letter address format? Thank you for your help.
Switching from Word 2000 to Word 2003...
Has anyone upgraded from W2000 to W2003? If so, did all your autocorrect entries and normals transfer easily? I would like to upgrade but don't want 2 lose my shortcuts and expanders! TIA
Can you transfer them from Word 2002 to Word 2003?
I was able to transfer mine from one computer to another when I had Word 2002 on both of them. Now I have a new computer with Word 2003, and have not been able to do it. The autocorrect has a different file name.
I dunno about Word 2007 but Word 2003
has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.
In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.
Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
Word 2007, Word 2002, or 2003
How many transcriptionists have switched to these versions of Word? I am still using Word 2000, and it works well for me, but have been offered job with a company that uses Word 2007, and another company that will let you use Word 2002 or 2003. I am fighting this and am at the point where I just might not accept a new job because of this change. I can't imagine why they would want to change from Word 2000. Your opinions, please. Thank you.
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

Word 2003 and Word 2007....
If you have Word 2003 and upgrade to Word 2007 - will you still be able to access your Word 2003 documents?
I am still kinda confused on this as everything I have read about this states that the Word 2003 files will be opend in a "compatibility" form, as opposed to normal.
Would it be in my best interest to save the Word 2003 files to a disk first?
Actually Word 97 through 2003 (sm)
are essentially the same. A document created in 2003 can be opened in 97 with no problems. You aren't missing anything and you saved a bundle!
NEED HELP WITH WORD 2003
Does anyone on the board here know how to subtype in Word?
Word 97 to 2003
I am finding that my Word 97is bogging down and two accounts that I work use 2003 and I believe there might be interference between the two programs. I would like to know if anyone has transitioned their documents to 2003 and if there have been any complications.
Thanks
Word 2003
Buy the student version. My daughter did and it was so much cheaper and works just as well.
Word 2003 help
HELP! I've used Word 2003 for years. I bought a new computer with XP, NOT Vista, loaded the program back on and it seems to work fine EXCEPT I always worked in normal view, just like it better. However, now in normal view will NOT display the entire status bar words as before; i.e., Ln does NOT show up. For example, if I wanted to skip to Line 6.75 or whatever, I have no clue where it is. Print view, I know, displays all of this. In normal view, it never shows page breaks either which it did before. My problem is, I really like to work in normal view and have done so for years with the above items showing up on the status bar. The status bar is there at the bottom but won't display Ln at all. I have two reference books and cannot for the life of me figure thisout. Any ideas? Perhaps reinstalling it again???

Hi all!
I accidently bumped something -- I have no clue what! But now I have two tools bars on my Word 2003 screen and I cannot seem to get rid of the duplicate. Any ideas? Thanks! 
Word 2003
Not sure of how to help with that - but was told by the IT people where I work not to update to the newest version or it would interfere with the connection with Escription -
Word 2003
 I tried that -- it didn't remove the double tool bar and I didn't update anything either so it didn't get messed up from any updates -- just me typing too fast and hitting something that I shouldn't have. Ugh!

MS Word 2003 sm
I need the regular (not student/teacher) version of MS Word 2003 for eScription. Does anyone know where these can be purchased? Microsoft is now pushing their word 2007 so I haven't had any luck on their site. Without purchasing the entire MS Office 2003, any ideas???
TIA
In Word 2003... sm
Go to the top where the drop down menus are. Go to "Tools" "Autocorrect Options" "Autoformat As You Type" and check or uncheck the boxes as you prefer. There is one for a fractions and for 1st.
I don't have 2000 so I can't tell you how it is different off the top of my head.
