speech recognition
We won't become obsolete, but we will become trained as editors in speech recognition if we want to keep our jobs. Spheris already is doing this on 1 account they have. Other employers probably are too and will follow suit. It's coming. (I've been resistant but want to keep my job.) It's not so horrible, just learning the hot keys or function keys. The MTs who initially resisted and were trained in speech recognition now love it and can't imagine going back to straight typing. Yes, I can't believe I'm saying this, but ALL MTs who trained on this who hated it at first now Love It. Something to think about.
VR/speech recognition
I COMPLETELY agree with PathGuy on this one. What I was told the basics of the VR were that the physician dictates into their system. If his/her voice is easy to understand, eventually VR is able to record his voice, thus turn it into VR/speech recognition report/s. BUT, there are many, many ESL dictators and EFL dictators who have nuances in their voices, etc., that the VR WILL NEVER be able to adapt to. This, my friends, means that a Transcriptionist must always be needed to translate what is dictated. This we have some comfort in, because there are always a lot of dictators out there that VR will not be able to do that part of the job. This is not to say that the Transcriptionist is left with the worst dictators, but it DOES SAY that VR/speech recognition does have its limitations. Bravo to PathGuy. I believe that a lot of docs WANT AN MT transcribing their work and not some VR system because the MT IS MORE CAREFUL WITH THE DICTATION/REPORT. Kudos to us!!
Speech recognition
There is no way I doubled my lines and I was good at doing Speech recognition, in fact had my employer asking me to help others achieve their goals in speech.
I hated it because there was no money in it and it is faster for me to type and edit my own work than try to interpret what the computer is spitting out
speech recognition
I think at this point I have just about been beaten. I thought I found the perfect place where I could stay and transcribe, and less than 6 months into it I have lost a ton of my work, not due to speech recognition but due to EMR. It keeps happening to me! I'm throwing up my hands at this point. I'll try editing at a new company and maybe I'll be able to stay put for more than 6 months before new technology eats my job again. I understand that you want to transcribe and not edit and I hope you find a good company. I just don't think anyone is safe from either EMR or ASR anymore. Best of luck to you. 
speech recognition
i am new in this business and I was wondering why doesnt anyone use speech recognition to get a better line count? Is this just wishful thinking on my part. I just heard about this product called Naturally speaking today and it seems like a dream come true for any MT, though obviously unethical? Any opinions or experiences?
Speech recognition
I am tired of killing myself and ending up with nothing, so I was considering speech recognition. I just found a very affordable program called Speech to text that gives you a 30 day free trial. I know it has good and bad points, but has anyone out there ever tried speech recognition to make more money as an MT?
speech recognition
I was wondering about the pay rate (the usual pay rate). I was just notified by my current company that the speech recognition rate received is 5 cents a line. Is that one everyone else is getting for speech recognition. I understand the thinking is the pay is low because it is not much typing??? 
If using Speech Recognition, I don't like it. nm

Speech recognition
Go to Google and put in voice recognition. The first thing that shows up is link to wikipedia. Scroll down a bit to Applications and Healthcare. It explains everything in that article. You can also go to other links that show up, too. Remember, research is a vital tool for an MT. I hope this helps.
Speech Recognition
The computer records the speech and the MT goes in and reviews the report to make sure everything is correct.
I am sure MTs know that RESEARCH is vital in our job. So is professionalism, some people should do some RESEARCH on it!!!!

TT vs MQ speech recognition
Have worked on both MQ's ASR and TransTech's escription VR. TT's blows MQ's right out of the water... no comparison, TT's is a zillion times better. Just my opinion.
More OSi accounts going to speech recognition
Please, if someone is really in the know, please give info of what is going on. I'm starting to get worried now.
EXTEXT speech recognition
Anyone that does extext speech can you tell me a little bit about it. How many lines per hour are you able to get? Is it easy to hear?
You lost? QA was around before speech recognition

Spheris Speech Recognition...
Could someone please tell me how Spheris' SR program is? I've worked with a couple of other SR programs and they were awful, so just wanted to get some opinions before I applied. Thanks!
Speech recognition, an oversell
Speech recognition is an oversell! The qualified Transcriptionist simply cannot be replaced by a machine that cannot understand the dictator. I heard the word presbyacusis clearly stated, and the Speech thingy typed: Please be a Q-tip For Social Director a pocket rectum. The best of my week was the when the dictator said the patient liked to play tennis for exercise. The Speech thingy had its mind elsewhere and transcribed play penis for exercise. My goodness, Lord help us all! I really find it more efficient to do straight transcription than correct every 3 to 4 words in a document. Am I alone out here?
I think it's automated speech recognition - nm

One more speech recognition editing question...sm
Do you feel that you get double your lines of what you were actually typing when you edit speech recognition or how do you compare? thanks

Speech/Voice recognition fallout
I must pass long this info about what is happening with those facilities who go with speech/voice recognition. They have found that they need editors more than they thought. So they advertised for someone with 5+ years radiology experience to work in-house. Result? Nobody applied. The word had gotten around that they were trying to eliminate the need for MTs so nobody in the area applied. Now they are forced to make the remaining MTs that they have in-house do the QA and they must outsource the rest. Just FYI! :)
Best co's for speech recognition/editing new hire??

Speech recognition, research, and professionalism
There are 2 different types of speech recognition, so maybe you need to do your research. Your answer certainly did not really explain much.
Being a true professional is certainly not being displayed by you shouting (using capital letters), so maybe you need to learn more about all these things.
Has anybody out there used Dragon speech recognition software to do this job?
What are the pros and cons...does it really work? Please post what you know about it! TIA
I'm happy with Webmedx. They pay probably the best speech recognition
line rate out there. Work is steady, pay is like clockwork. Bennies competetive. No complaints.
Speech recognition and the future regarding MT work. Does anyone besides myself have the feeling
this will overtake out typing work and we will become obsolete in time? Makes me really wonder if MT will be around for a long time
jokes on you, silly. editing is speech recognition, not qa.
lol
Does TranTech have speech recognition and is rate reduced?(sm)
Also how would you rate their SR program as compared to Medquist SR?
Speech Recognition Editing - Can someone explain/provide insight?
Can someone explain how Speech Recognition Editing works?
When a company hires people to do this, are they usually looking for MTs or those who have done regular QA before?
Do you listen to an entire audio file based on what a speech recognition program spits out and fix? If so, what kinds of fixes are you normally looking for?
I'm completely ignorant on this topic so if anyone could explain the basics, what they like/don't like about it, what it's like, etc. I'd appreciate it.
Also, is there a consensus that this is perhaps the future of MT? What do you think?

s
Voice Recognition question. Anyone with experience on Dictaphone Speech system
Is it relatively easy to maneuver through. Is it easy to double or triple your line count. Any all comments/suggestions welcomed.
Anyone with info on Transtech voice recognition job?
How is their platform to work with? How accurate is it (how much editing is involved)? Flexible scheduling? Also, do they have decent insurance, and overall, are you happy there? TIA!!
speech rec
Speech rec MTs, how do you like it? Do you make good money with speech rec? Please share the pros and cons? Thank you. Email me if you can. Thanks!
Speech
What are the advantages to going to speech recognition? It it cumbersome to work without the foot pedal. What about switching back and forth?
Speech
Thanks for your input.
Speech
Can you say what VR system you use? I have used Dictaphone and love it and MQs ASR and lose so much time and money with that.
Speech
Am curious. If speech is supposted to save the clients money, who takes the hit? The MTs? What are companies paying MTs for speech recognition? Are there any very productive text transcriptionists out there who have switched to speech and made more on speech? MT replies only, please. Thanks!
TT speech
Is that because of the speech program? What is the approximate percentage of speech/regular transcription that you do? I hope I don't end up with all speech. It would bore me to death.
TT Speech
Has anybody who started speech with TT in the last 2 weeks seen any increase in their speed/line count. Just getting my bill ready to send tonight, and it is not pretty. I did start to get faster as the days went on, but don't think I am going to get a heck of a lot faster, but I guess the workload hasn't helped much either.
Voice recognition.
As far as I know, they only have one account and it is overstaffed so it is really hard to make any money. Some of the people hired for that account have moved on.
Voice Recognition
Does anyone know which companies hire reviewers/editors for VR work? My hands/fingers are starting to really bother me and I need to shift gears. Thank you!
Voice Recognition
For anyone out there who does voice recoginition can you tell me what you average per hour for lines. Just curious to see if I am on the right page with it. Thanks
voice recognition
So far I have had the opposite effect (drop in production), BUT I have only been doing it for two months. Does someone have any hints???
voice recognition.
I have been talking with a woman from Diskriter about part time shift and she did say something about willingness to learn about voice recognition. Does that mean that all the Transcriptionist become editors or how exactly does that work out for those working for them? Will there be layoffs?
Voice recognition
Take my advice and avoid voice recognition if you can. Half the pay for the same job!
Unions would help us get some recognition
Currently it's lacking 100%. Look at AAMT/AHDI -- they don't represent us, they're killing us. They need to be investigated and put on a short leash ASAP.
