Re: Voice Recognition replacing us?

I doubt VR will ever be good enough not to need an editor. Doctors misspeak and say the wrong word. I don't think VR is up to that yet. They also make other errors that only a human can detect (say patient hs an allergy, then say on that same med). Of course, to save money the powers that be may choose not to see this fact.

My group of hospitals has just signed for a whole new Voice Recognition
system. They assure us that we'll be needed as editors and to
transcribe the docs the software just can't figure out. Has anyone had
this experience? What happens to all the transcriptionists once the
software has "learned" by our corrections and we're no longer needed
and how long did this take? I feel they will keep a few of us to
continuing editing by not the whole department. Thanks very much for
any information you can give me.
