Still waiting - where is the word RACE or anything race-related in my posting?
Still waiting - where did I mention anyone's race in my original posting? I didn't and you know it.

Get off your self-loathing anti-white crap - whatever sucks in your life has nothing to do with me or anyone else on this board.

And, by the way, since you clearly know I never mentioned race until YOU did, I'm done arguing with you. I have better things to do than match wits with someone who hates/resents her own kind.

Have fun responding though. I'm done with your witless banter.

LOL ROFL LMAO
Why VR can not improve.....
You write...
'... And of course VR cannot do the difficult ESLs ...'

The problem is that ESL do use VR and this results in reports full of mistakes.
Put an excellent dictator on VR and the report that VR produces will be good, except maybe for the punctuation.
If only good dictators are allowed to use VR, the good dictations will go to VR and will be done fast by the MTs, and bad dictations will stay on standard transcription, for the experienced MTs.
This is the trend. Inspite of everything VR is here to stay.
Only if bad dictators stay off VR, the system can improve.
Did your speed improve?
Did you get faster with this or is it just more comfortable? How long did it take to get used to it?

Thanks for the info!
Your line count will improve
I am fairly new myself, but have worked for two different companies and found with both of them that - believe it or not! - even the ESL and slurry speakers will become more intelligible after time.

Sometimes I can't believe that I actually understand what they are saying.

You will see your line counts go us as you become more comfortable with the speakers and as you learn more shortcuts.

good luck to you!
Any idea on how to improve quality.

This could be a spin off on another post.  I started with a national 3 weeks ago and they sent me a QA score of 95.5%.  I need 98%.  They did make a note there were no major patient care errors mostly minor errors in formatting and some omitted words.  What passes at my regular FT job won't pass at the MTSO though.  One of my errors is I forgot to put a period after q.  I wrote q 4 hours.  At my FT job that would have passed but  MTSO wants q.4 h.  It is stuff like that that brought my score down.      I like a challenge but gosh when I have already typed 1300 lines in-house then I have to come home and type some more at the MTSO.  Not as easy as I thought.


You cant make someone learn or improve their

Race issue
How in the world does one know what someone's race is when you are doing a class on-line?  I don't understand--please enlighten.  Thanks.
Amazing Race fan
Yes, I too am a huge fan!  I also hope the hippie boys win.  Everytime they come in last I hold my breath.  I really hope that neither the frat boys or MoJo win.  That would be a huge disappointment.  This race has been great so far.
Walking will not only improve your physical health

but probably your mental health too.  You'll get fresh air, take time to smell the roses, meet your neighbors, etc. 


Unfortunately I live in the county and we are 8+ miles from anything. 


 


I don't think the present Voice Systems will improve
I believe it is best not to name names, as others have pointed out in this message board. So, instead, I will simply post the job as listed on MTjobs.com and say that the same person is posting this job as when I was bilked. 'Nuff said.

You might need to report the problem to IT. They may be able to improve it, but I'm not positive
We use Winscribe wav player when we help out other offices, and at one of them the sound was not good. After I sent an e-mail to the IT guy it seemed like he may have improved it, but that's just a theory because he didn't tell me that. Good luck.

Oh, ouch! I hope things improve soon!
That's the very reason I've never took that plunge into independent...it's just so HARD for you guys. Hats off to you for all your hard work. Good luck.
MTSO wont tell dr to improve dictation. Too

Amazing Race Fans?
Anyone as big of an AMAZING RACE fan as me??? I'm loving the hippies on this season.  I'd like to see them win, but I worry that the frat boys will take the winnings.  Mo Jo probably won't make it to the final 3!!! Then again, Ray and Yolanda have a good chance on getting the million too!  They have played fair and are so competitive.  It wouldn't suprise me if they ended up with the winnings!!  Tune in Wednesday to see.     
Where did I say anything about race in my original posting?
Some PC queen accused me of having a problem wtih other races, when I said the dictator I was upset about was an "ESL". She's the one who mistakenly, yet predictably, assumed race was involved. I said nothing about race until she brought it up. Take it up with her if you have a problem with bringing race into what someone posts on here.
I was not the first to bring race into the post, the OP was.

Absolutely! Wonderful hobby and your skills will only improve.
I started knitting, quit for a year when I got discouraged because I couldn't fix my mistakes easily, then went back, determined to learn the craft. For me, what was wonderful was when I automatically could recognize what was right and wrong, and fix it easily. Now, I have more yarn than I could ever use, and more projects started than I'll ever finish. It's a lifetime hobby. There'll never be enough yarn.
Turning off Indexing will drastically improve speed.
Vista loads a ton of "services" that you won't ever use so turn those off as well. A Google search will give you exact instructions on the ones you don't need.
Sounds like you have a problem with the whole Caucasian race

I can imagine what you're married to, living with or making Muh-babby daddies with. 


Lots of other "nationalities" are hairy, as I'm sure you know all about personally.


has nothing to do with the race, but rather the communication gap when dealing with my own medical n
I pay a premium for through my health insurance coverage. I want clear communication with my physician. Please do not throw the racial aspect in, as it has absolutely no bearing on the point at hand. In fact, my gynecologist is Asian, but she has taken the time to learn our language because she chose to practice medicine here.
Pat Day retires from horse racing -- It is a sad day for race fans everywhere! We wish him the best
in his retirement, although I hear he's going to stay busy behind the scenes with the chaplaincy program at the horse tracks.  We're gonna miss him here in Ky--
We used to cruise the main drag, race on the old highway, and
stop at the burger joints to see where the parties were.  The kids don't get to do that any more because the cops bust them for loitering, curfew, etc.  In fact, that's the first thing DH and I noticed about each other was our cars while cruising the drag.  He had a red AMC Javelin and I had a red Dodge Coronet.
I cannot stand people playing the race card

This is no race issue on the View.......this is merely Star *pulling* the race card.......


Won't miss her in the least..........


WHAT race card did she pull? Ever? And are you just being delusional and showing who and how YOU r

Not just ESLs, many American docs do the same. No need to bring race into that issue.

Sounds like Rodney King after he wreaked havoc and caused a great race riot.
Quit calling people FOOLS and then asking if we can't get along.
