Re: Voice Recognition replacing us?

I hear you! I know there have been times I've done exactly that. You know it's wrong and correct it, but then there's this little nagging "what if I'm wrong" until somewhere later on they make it clear that's what they meant. Of course plenty of Airheads would never catch the discrepancy to start, never mind think they should actually fix it - and some would stand there and argue with you that you're overstepping as well. One reason why I like working for same doctors. After a while, you at least know the types of mistakes they make and are on the look out for them.

I just about pulled my hair out today transcribing a long tape by the guy I have to edit so much. He does stuff like this - The lady came in for an amniocentesis, so he has that on his mind. So, when he is dictating the findings on ultrasound he said, "There is a large amnio in the uterus". He does this *all the time*. I know that he means she has a large fibroid in the uterus. I would have just flagged it (since I couldn't be 100% sure he meant fibroid) if he had not corrected himself in the next sentence. Sometimes he doesn't correct it, and I have to decide if I am 100% sure of what he meant, or if it needs flagged.

This type of thing really, really exhausts me when I'm transcribing. It requires so much more brain power than just transcribing words and sentences. He knows how bad he is, and they pay their bill on time so I guess all I can do is b!tch about it occasionally. LOL
