Please tell me you are kidding! Unbelievable how naieve some people are, simply unbelievable!

I have a dear friend who is in his early 50s.  He has the standard headaches and takes his BC Powders.

Last year at Christmas he was going home for the holidays and I had gone by his office to wish him happy holidays, and he was literally laying on the table with the worst h/a ever he said.  His eye was even a little blood shot (like you get with a really bad h/a).

On the way home, he finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled into an ER about 20 minutes from where he lives.

Within minutes they had done a CT and had him on a helicopter to Univ of Ala at B'Ham. 

He had a brain tumor!  Never would have thought it - wouldn't have ever even considered to think that.  He was healthy as a horse. 

So, please go to the ER.  BTW he had surgery and he is doing really good.  But he wouldn't have if he hadn't stopped and pulled into that ER that day.

this kind of response really blows me away. 

Who in the world could afford to wait to get paid until the employer gets paid etc. I would never agree to work under those circumstances. I need AND deserve a regular paycheck. You certainly couldn't call your mortgage company or credit card companies and tell them that you'll pay them when you get paid. That just doesn't fly. I was hired once by a company and then read the small print. You work the 2 weeks, submit your invoice, and then they have up to 45 days to pay your invoice.FORGET THAT. I said no thanks. I feel bad for both of the posters. That's two months without pay. They have NO excuse. Bad business practices if you ask me.

then something was wrong from the get go.

>>>It sounded good because I thought it would be less wear and tear on my hands. I type already all day on a FT regular job. I never had a report that didn't need massive changing and it just didn't take long to see that I was getting the proverbial screw.

Like I many times before:  [1] have the correct sound card; [2] have the correct microphone (the one that comes with the product is probably not good enough); [3] have VR analyze as many documents as you have available (I have more than 500 MB); [4] add words and phrases to the Word List (decreases errors in the long run); [5] do not dictate like you talk to someone ... you need to ar-ti-cu-late correctly; [6] take the time to correct errors when they occur or at the end of the day. But, if you see an error and change it manually, the program is not going to learn; [7] You cannot use VR for all dictators, but you can for all good dictators. I would not use it for the nightmares from hell, unless they are so repetitive you know what they are going to say as soon as they start to say it.

These are the most critical factors involved with using SR (speech recognition) software. If you eliminate or skip over any ONE of these items, you're going to reduce accuracy.

I've been averaging 99.5% (one to two errors per page) for a long time. It think it's obvious I'm doing something right.

There's nothing more I can say. 

Is it typical for a co. to deduct for errors?  I have had some, but nothing that is overly noticable.

Do you find that it irritates you probably more than it should to see errors in the newspaper, etc.?  I mean, something that will be read by so many people should be proofread to perfection, don't you think?  They seem to just jump out at me and I know I'm more critical since I am an MT.  How about you?
