    "most"
    How about just letting the OP take the suggestion & see if it applies to her situation or not?

    All due respect, your self-appointed guardianship of all things tech is starting to get on my nerves.

    I live in a rural area. There are people around here more rural than I who have dslextreme. The best thing to do is to go the site & see if service exists to a given area. It's also possible to get accelerated dialup without having to have true DSL. It's not as fast, but it's an improvement. I believe dslextreme offers this. Others as well.
    Can't speak for "most" companies,
    but TRS (which has now merged with Transcend) has QA people on instant messenger. One of them bailed me out just about an hour ago, in fact. :)

    $11.50 correction

    No need for the correction (sm)
    I knew what you were saying. I don't blame you for not wanting to work for someone who wasn't HELPING you make your quota. You deserve to be somewhere that you are appreciated. Now if we could just figure out how to rub your work ethic onto some of these other people.....
    No, never. And TY for the correction!

    Sorry. Didn't mean to include ALL. I should have said....
    MANY Christians re-write the meanings of these holidays.

    Didn't mean to offend you.
    Have a good day!
    correction
    duh, I apologize, I meant to start off saying, I am using....apologize for the grammatical error.
    correction
    Sorry, I mistyped...8/55 as to 9/65 (not 9/64)

    should be thinks. Late when typing this.
    Correction.....
    No, they get paid for everything they do and a lot for what they don't do!!!

    I too am sick of the hospital staff/administration cowardly standing in the corner, afraid to say anything to them, as if they are gods or something. I'll never forget one cardiologist who everybody dreaded but because he was a BIG admitter, meaning BIG BUCKS for the hospital, everybody just preached to the MT and kept their mouth shut to the problem.....the doctor!!

    He had the gall to come through MR one morning and brought in a report, asking why a blank. Well, since the other MT (who he walked up to) sat there shaking in her boots, I turned around and let loose. It just all came out. I told him that we are human, we are not able to compute mumbling, chewing while dictating, four people in the room talking to you while you are dictating, laughing at a joke, yawning while continuing to talk, or other bodily functions which interfere with what we hear on the other end. I also told him that considering all this, he was lucky to have only one blank. Well, after he stood there a second and started at me, he sort of grinned in his cocky smirky way and said, "Well, anyone should be able to KNOW what I was saying", to which I replied to him that I was not psychic and it is not my job to guess at what he is saying; that guessing is not fair to the patient, now is it, since that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we are here for.....the patient. Well, I guess he had nothing to reply to that, reminding him he was not the reason we were there but the patient was. He just shrugged and walked out. Never heard another word about blanks from that day on.
    correction
    if you have used Alt Q to make your blank, when you are at the end of the report, you should be able to use Alt Y to jump to your blank. Put your cursor at the top of the report, use Alt. Y to jump to your blanks. Saves a lot of time.
    One correction in that...
    in your second to last paragraph you said "How should BE pay for our food" and I think you meant "we".

    Just might want to change that before sending it out to anyone else! But other than that very, very well written!!!
    Yep...had an old doc who would always say, when making a correction (sm)

    "Ummm, STENOGRAPHER, please change..." etc.  Yeah, like I'm sitting here doing Gregg shorthand!!!  Drove me nuts! 


    Also used to have one who loved to editorialize as he dictated...had a great sense of humor, tho', & I really enjoyed him.  He'd always start off with "Hello Transcription!!!" 


    Sometimes I wish I had a tape of all the docs' bloopers to listen to on the days when I wonder why I do this for a living 


     


    Correction! That should be No Whining

    I should make a correction
    I plan to stay in the MT field until it goes completely under, just can't do it full time much longer because of the hands.  Thats why i'm considering other options.  Thanks.

    UGH... that would be in the field...sorry long day!
    Are you one of the ones who gets made when you get a correction?

    Ugh! Correction Reports!
    Does your heart ever sink into your stomach when you look at your correction reports? I really don't make many mistakes, but just made 5 out of 31 reports on a particular account that I really want so badly to do perfectly! And 4 of them were doggone header things (how did I miss them?) GACK!!! I feel so dumb!!
    Correction reports
    Where I work, there's a new group of QAs, some of whom correct the reports without going according to the client specs.  UGH!!  It can make you sick if you let it.  I finally gave up the frustration and suggested to my manager that I would not take those correction reports so seriously, as it's the monthly performance report that really matters.  That's the one that I will check very closely.
    Correction Client 1.6 is the new one (nm)

    Thanks for the ''Asian'' correction. Worst for me are

    Just a correction, they are not nukes, they are explosives to see if they can SM
    penetrate rock where nuclear weapons might be held. The notion that they are nukes is incorrect, and there will be no mushroom cloud.
    see my note below, I made the correction.... - nm

    When I worked in Meditech and did a correction,
    the revision date and initial date of my correction following those of the first transcriptionist.

    It is a Joint Commission requirement that a visible trail be placed on any corrections. There are rules if it is handwritten versus type printed. But which ever way you slice it, if the trail is not there, the facility can lose their accreditation. I was asked to do several files at a time by using a macro to search/replace. This request was by the VP of the company. I told her she knew what needed doing, obviously, picked up my coat and told her I was late for an appointment. If anything was changed, I was not going to participate it in. There is also a way to whistle blow on those who do the less than honest practices.
    **It can be important (correction, no message)

    just type your correction and hit 'change'.

    correction: Barrett esophagus - NM

    correction: "NOT ours", instead of "now ours".

    Thank you for "pointing out" a correction on a typo I HAD ALREADY MADE

    Yes, the correction part disappeared for counting ASR.
    :
    Correction - They will be flexible with HOURS/days, etc.
    ...rather than benefits.
    Anyone who inputs information in a report - whether correction or not - SM
    is supposed to put their initials at the end where the original transcripitionist's initials are. 
    U make no sense. If paid per correction, why

    EXSpeech Nuance correction keystrokes

    Editing questions- which Keystrokes actually corrects the documents in the Correction Client, therefore, correcting the terms to the future to that dictator.  Does Ctrl D and transcribing the correction cause Correction Client to sit up and take notice.  Can you block the text with Ctrl K, Ctrl J, Ctrl-Shift K, and Ctrl-Shift J and start transcribing the correction (will Correction Client see that).  Thank you. 


    Correction.......meant to say dedicated space...

    Correction note to husband. Meant BILLS NOT AUCTIONS LOL
    Freudian slip. Have to read whole post to get joke. LOL.
    Just point out the errors and duck. No win situation QAing anyone. MTs hate correction.
    Sad, but true, and sooooooooooooooooooooo depressing for those of us who QA. There is no nice way to point out errors - believe me, I've tried it all. Smiley faces - trying to be kind, humorous, self deprecating - nothing works if they are one of "those" MTs who just do not take correction at all.  MTs either own their mistakes, or they freak.
    correction: charge by PAGE, and keep track of long-distance of local numbers, as well as fax supplie

    Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't

    I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
