Re: Voice Recognition replacing us?

On 5 Dec 2006 21:30:16 -0800, "Nell" <dobercat@xxxxxxxxx> tossed a
dime in the pot and said:

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.

You'd be amazed at what these systems can actually do. There are some
better than others, but the "sales job" is less and less of an
inflation of reality.

They can be programmed and customized down to the level of dictator
and report type, and achieve accuracy of 95% or better for 80% of
dictators.

I still don't recommend that a doctor go out and buy Dragon and use
that, but these systems are so far beyond that it, the only reason for
doing it is cost. The companies doing a good job of SRT are too
expensive for smaller facilities and clinics.
