What difference should it make to the health care provider how you did
the transcription as long as they're getting the results they paid for?
They're getting the same value (their dictation transferred to paper) no
matter whether you've pecked it out one character at a time with two
fingers, had it set in type at a printer's shop, done most of it with
text expanders or used VR software? The only practical difference among
these is that the first two will take forever, and the others would even
get it back to them a lot faster than contracted-- a bonus for them when
you think about it.
To use an analogy, if you hire me to paint your house and we settle on a
price, it shouldn't matter at that point if I use a sprayer, roller or
paint brushes, as long as you get the paint job you paid for. The only
difference will be how long it takes me to do it.
