May be she's getting 100% ESL dictations

You sound like someone receiving the remaining 25% of the non-ESL dictations on the 75% ESL accounts.

There is a possibility that on the 75% ESL accounts, she is getting all the 75% of the ESL dictations (courtesy of the special-assigning of jobs department), which makes her ESL percentage 100%. Ever thought of that?

Poor dictations
Many companies seem to be going to voice recognition. The only reports they have to send to us, then, are the poor dictators, the ESL's, etc. Time for a new career.
DECENT DICTATIONS...sm
It's known as electronic cherry-picking by the Leads .. as the company claims not to outsource work.  There have been 1 or 2 who are very adept at this.  After 3 years with the company, I know generally the makeup, percentage-wise, of good, mediocre, ESL and dictators who just plain s**ck.  So when I get almost a whole shift of crap that takes me 3 times longer to produce, well, figure it out.  There is 1 lead in particular who likes to pick out the good dictators right out of my queue and replace them with garbage.  I have actually called her attention to this on more than 1 occasion.  I'm no tattletale, but this is my living, and my next e-mail will be cc'd to mgmt and all the Suits I can think of.  The Leads are literally taking food out of our childrens' mouths.  
I need sample dictations with their final notes.
Hi,

Can someone suggest me a place to find a few sample dictations with their final notes, so that I could evaluate myself?

thanks

Not my experience. I've gotten real dictations sm
from real dictators.
Conference dictations are generally extremely sm
tedious as the voice quality is awful. Consider that when I was in college back in 1970 I made $1.50 a page straight typing from text. You'll be transcribing, not straight typing, a conference or interview.
It they are 20-minute dictations with lots of blanks,

and the scariest thing is - doctors seldom if ever look at their dictations -
assume it is okay - it had been in the past.  They are not aware of any changes. It's not only a cost issue - it is pure ignorance.
Test dictations are often bogus and not true voice files from the company. Need to ask. nm

There were post on another board about test dictations violating HIPAA regs. sm
Some people seemed to think they were using actual dictations, with actual patient info, in their test dictations.  I would leave them alone, way alone.
