At 2:07 a.m., my voice rec proudly rendered “ileocecal valve” as “I’ll eat a bagel,” and I nearly signed it before coffee… This reminds me of misheard song lyrics — like thinking “sweet dreams are made of cheese” — except mine ends up in a chart. What’s your most ridiculous VR interpretation lately?
Mine turned peroneal nerve into ‘paranormal nerve’ — spooky chart. I added custom vocab for the usual offenders and a quick end-of-note search for GI anatomy before signing; a text expander that turns ‘ileo’ into ‘ileocecal valve’ also tames the bagel cravings. Do you keep a small ‘danger words’ list to batch-replace at the end?
I once got ‘ileocecal’ as ‘I’ll lease a seagull,’ so I built a tiny AutoHotkey that auto-highlights GI terms and pops a confirm if it hears that pattern before I sign. Training helps, but a quick ‘spell that’ on the tricky words has saved me from bagel-based valves. Anyone using a confirm hotkey for anatomy, or is that overkill?
, at 2:07 a.m. mine also heard “ileocecal valve” as “I’ll eat a bagel,” so I added a blacklist that swaps any food words in GI sections to “[VERIFY]” before I can sign. I also keep a separate night-shift VR profile with stricter confidence/underlines — tiny hassle to toggle, but it’s cut the howlers a lot. Do you have confidence coloring turned on, or does your setup hide it?
Quick fix that saved me: I have TTS read back just the GI lines — at 2:07 a.m., hearing “I’ll eat a bagel” jumps out faster than scanning. I also taught the engine a custom spoken form for ileocecal (I say “eye-lee-oh-SEE-kull”) so it leans the right way. Anyone else doing a 10‑second read-back on flagged anatomy?
I use a conditional dictionary so it prefers ‘ileocecal valve’ when ‘valve’ or ‘junction’ is nearby; otherwise it prompts — like lane assist for VR. @lucaspay36, if your engine doesn’t do context rules, a quick voice macro that expands ‘ileo…’ to the full term on cue works; what engine are you on?
Same vibes as ‘sweet dreams are made of cheese’ — after my engine turned ileocecal into brunch one too many times at 2:07, I made a voice command ‘insert ileocecal valve’ that pastes the exact phrase as text, bypassing recognition. If you try it, set it to supersede normal dictation so it won’t ‘helpfully’ autocorrect, @elizabetheva39.
