I cannot find anything about them.  How do they pay?  Do they have enough work?  How are they to work for?  Any info at all would be appreciated.  TIA.

Editing voice recognition

From my own experience, you can make more typing.  The pay for editing is usually pretty low, by the line, and because the recognition is so bad, you might as well type the reports. The companies that market SR basically tell their prospective clients what they want to hear, e.g. that their SR can understand bad dictators and ESLs, that their SR isn't thrown off by background noise and that the doctors can dictate from anywhere (like their car in heavey traffic), and the SR will understand them.  I myself use SR to transcribe due to bad hands and wrists and I know what it can and cannot do.  I spent a lot of time training mine so I get around 98% accuracy.  Very few doctors will put in that kind of time.  The worst SR program that I have edited is Dictaphone and it is just terrible.  E-Scription is better and more user friendly.  Medquist's program isn't bad either, but it still boils down to how good the dictator is and if he/she is willing to change his/her dictation habits and where they dictate from, and most importantly, use a headset when they dictate.  Once a mumbler always a mumbler and if they are used to dictating their reports right after they see a patient, in the hall with phones ringing, nurses talking, etc., it is a lost cause as far as SR is concerned.  You might want to search the archives for messages from other people who have tried editing SR.  Good luck.


the pay for voice recognition/editing is better at MQ than Transcend
Transcend only pays 60% of line rate, at least MQ is 80%.

Is that true?
What is everyone making doing voice recognition editing?
Can anyone tell me what you are making monthly doing voice recognition editing?  I am doing it now and I am not sure if I am making enough money or not.  Thanks
Transtech does have voice recognition. Horrible platform for editing.
Dictaphone Exspeech is the very worst VR platform I have ever worked on.  Yes, the MT line rate is much reduced for it, too.
They just got a very big voice recognition account in radiology. sm
they are also in the running for a 20-hospital account. They must be doing something right. This is not gossip but fact. If they are bad, the accounts are going to be in big trouble. I would laugh if they fail because the hospital I work for GSH is going to them and letting the two other services go and not taking any of us.
Global Transcription IS a nice small service, has a good rep. Superior Global has Indian conn-

Global Transcription Services is not Superior Global.

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 
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 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?
Voice recognition

Take my advice and avoid voice recognition if you can.  Half the pay for the same job!


Regarding Voice Recognition.

Hi: 


I noticed your comment about Transcend and the Voice Recognition program.  Well I worked there about 4 or 5 months and never could get the hang of it.  I do not mean to be discouraging, but I really did not like their program.  If your line count does not improve, I would look somewhere else.  I know they have wonderful company and some of the greatest people ever, but they are not paying your bills either.  Look out for yourself in the long-run.    Hope this helps. 


 


VR = Voice Recognition
Not the OP, but I am going to assume that VR stands for voice recognition, not a state abbreviation.
MDI voice recognition

Just curious how the transition over to speech was going for other MDI employees. 


 


Which Sten-Tel is this? Do they use voice recognition? Thanks. nm

I could be voice recognition with paying
an Editor 2 or 3 cpl.
Voice Recognition - I hate it

My company is making the move to VR for as many accounts as they can and, wouldn't you know it, the account I love and am doing really well on and making good money on is going to VR.  My line rate is slashed in half and I have spoken to other people who have gone to VR a few months ago and they say they are not making anywhere near what they were making typing.  This really annoys me as I NEED the money!  I may have to look for another job.  Anybody know of any good companies that you can actually just still TRANSCRIBE for like the good old days?  I hate this VR!


Please respond if you do voice recognition....

I haven't been able to get any clear answers.....have been told some unsettling news about low pay per line for VR work.


Anyone who does VR work.....what is your pay per 65-character line?  No company names needed!!!


Does Keystrokes use voice recognition?

Does TransTech do voice recognition? nm

Is StatIQ doing voice recognition?

If so, what is the average line rate? 


Transolutions/voice recognition
No voice recognition! Straight typing, which is what I went into the business for in the first place!! :) And yes, the pay is very decent. QA bonuses, seniority bonuses, appreciation, the whole works!! :)
Transtech and Voice Recognition

Thanks so much for the info.  My only other question about Transtech is this:  My accounts would be 50% straight transcription and 50% VR so I'm wondering if I would make the money I need to make.  I have never done VR before and they are aware of that, but obviously they have a lot of accounts that do VR.  I've seen others post here about that.  Do you do both and if so do you make decent money?  I have to have a certain income level so being new to VR I have no idea what to expect.


Voice Recognition Companies
Can anyone tell me what companies use voice recognition?  I have an interview with Focus Infomatics today and I am unsure about them.  I do like the idea of the voice recognition software.  What other companies offer the same type of platform?  Can you make better money this way?  Sorry for all the questions I am just trying to make a good choice here.  Thanks for any help! 
Hopefully the norm has better voice recognition than
MQ has given me. It honestly takes me longer to edit than it does to transcribe. I pray to God that's not typical of voice recognition.
voice recognition companies
I come to this site  frequently to read up on the advice that you all offer on companies.  Can anyone give me names of companies out  there that offer voice recognition......reputable companies that pay on time, treat their employees good, decent pay, etc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!     
Escription aka Voice Recognition is M E L T I N G!
I didn't think it would last this long. As a for instance, now get this - if you doing a numbered list, if the sentence is not a complete sentence then no period at the end. If a complete sentence, then a period. However, if not a numbered list, then periods for incomplete sentences. So if you are editing, you must first diagram the sentence to decide if it is a complete sentence. This takes time. Time is money. Escription doesn't care if you are not making money because they ARE! How do I know? Because one of my clients told me they pay 4 cpl to Escription for every line that comes off their system. So here we are doing all the hard work and Escription is kicking back collecting the loot. It should be a crime. Anyway, I don't think this is going to last much longer because they aer paying slave wages and we won't keep putting up with it.
Back-end voice recognition
Just learned my company will be doing a system upgrade that will include what they call the beginnings of back- end voice recognition. I think the company mainly uses one system for all its accounts, so does this mean that all accounts will now have to go to back-end VR and I'll become an editor, or is it possible that only certain accounts will go this way??? I'm really concerned, as I don't want to do VR because it seems so many people that post say they lose money doing editing, and when I was hired I was told they were not going to go to VR. Seems like things have changed and I don't know what to expect. Any info appreciated. Thanks.
Soo Alltype is voice recognition?

Anyone with info on Transtech voice recognition job?
How is their platform to work with?  How accurate is it (how much editing is involved)?  Flexible scheduling?  Also, do they have decent insurance, and overall, are you happy there?  TIA!!
POLL: Which companies are currently using Voice Recognition


I am currently looking to change companies, and from the posts I have seen, VR does not seem to be too popular, with a huge cut in cpl, so I want to put those companies at the bottom of my list. 


 


Could everyone please list their COMPANY NAME and if they are


 


  Currently using VR


 Planning to switch to VR soon


 


Any comments about cpl, how long it took to get back up to previous pay, and if you like VR would also be greatly appreciated. 


 


Thanks for your time.  


 


 


 


 


Any companies who DON'T make you do voice recognition?

I can't stand VR and am looking for a new job where it is just straight typing like it should be - anybody work for companies who are not jumping on this wagon?


What happened to the Voice Recognition forum? nm

Line rate for voice recognition
I have never done voice recognition.  What is a good line rate for easy (few ESL) dictators?  I was offered a position for 0.04 per line.  Any info would be helpful.  thanks!!
I hear ya. I wonder how much impact their voice recognition is

What companies offer ASR/voice recognition??

Besides DSG and possibly Precyse?


Thanks in advance!


Speech/Voice recognition fallout
I must pass long this info about what is happening with those facilities who go with speech/voice recognition. They have found that they need editors more than they thought. So they advertised  for someone with 5+ years radiology experience to work in-house.  Result? Nobody applied. The word had gotten around that they were trying to eliminate the need for MTs so nobody in the area applied. Now they are forced to make the remaining MTs that they have in-house do the QA and they must outsource the rest. Just FYI! :)
Anyone work on TransTech voice recognition
Considering switching to voice recognition, but would like to know how MTs working on it now like it.  Can you make your line counts without struggling too much?  Is it easy to learn?  I am being told that Dictaphone has improved it in the last month or so.  Feel free to email me if you rather not post.
You're making $400 a day on voice recognition?
How in the heck are you doing that? What kind of rate are you getting? How many lines are you doing a day? I'm just blown away at people making $50,000 a year in this business, much less $104,000. WOW! Congrats! Talk about depress me even more LOL.
voice recognition + decent pay = oxymoron.

I despise VR. 


Superior Global
You know - I left there 2 weeks ago.  I know from a past experience - this company holds checks.  You are one of the lucky ones who if you get your check on-time if they do not bounce.  Does anyone know if contractors have any rights?  Are they allowed to hold money even if the equipment has been returned? 
Superior Global
I have been very happy with this company. The checks arrive on time and they leave me alone and let me do what I do best.
Superior Global

Just wondering if anyone knows anything good or bad about Superior Global - thanks


Superior Global

This company is a waste.  First of all - they bounce checks to most of their employees.  They say they do not outsource - but they do.  The owners run and hide at payroll time -- constantly have their phones shut off, and the insurance is constantly canceled as they do not pay the premiums.  Not to mention, they still owe the overseas group greater than 20,000. 


 


Superior Global
I just heard the same story today. They don't pay!

I have never been in a situation where I broke my back typing for 15 days and had to beg for my money. I couldn't think of anything worse, except of course illness.
Superior Global
I completely agree, worked for them. Pay was not on time, typical excuses. I left there in a hurry. There are other jobs where they do pay on time believe me please.
