Re: Voice Recognition replacing us?

Thank you all for your wisdom. We have two big new hospitals opening in
the next year and enlargement of another soon after so perhaps this
will help keep our salaries (yes, salaries and good ones) where they
are or even higher. The company apparently did such a sales job on the
HIM Dept that they're convinced the machine will continue to learn from
our corrections. With the new hospitals, hopefully it will but not so
as to lower our incomes.

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.
