'We have to stay ahead of the technology', sure we have to, because if the technology gets better than the human MT, then technology renders the MT obsolete.
So it is all about striking a balance, like...'be good, but don't get better than I am because this would eliminate me.'
I think that in the years to come this will be the future of VR and technology will prevail.

For Trish....
This makes sense, thank you!

Hey, I know what you're talking about. Before I know it, a half hour has passed and there goes my required line count for the night. It's hard to give up though once you have invested some time in trying to find the right word and I have a real hang-up about using blanks and/or sending report to QA, I try TOO hard sometimes to reach 100% accuracy, wish I could say the same about reaching my line count. Google is a lot faster than searching through the books though,
For Trish: That's great!. See inside..
More or less VR is still in the beginning stages and doctors are not very enthusiastic about this idea, so I read and heard.
As we already stated VR is far from perfect and puts still a lot of strain on the MT editing VR.
But VR is the future of medical transcription and the sooner MTs jump on board the better it is for them; VR technology will get better and better.
I heard that some doctors even prefer to do their own dicating a n d editing and if the VR technology improves, a lot of them will do it.
Trish, check your spelling, both inside and out....lol.

Trish, I like you but I totally disagree that MTTest is the best
way to find a good MT. I know as fact my way works and it does not waste hours of a person's time. I get good people because I know what to ask and how to screen people. If more recruiters knew how to do it, they would not have to waste all that time too
Dear Trish: Thank you for your feedback. One more question, see inside:
Isn't every MT who does VR editing a 'low-key' QA, correcting the VR system?
And I would disagree with what I often read by people who advertise VR, that VR 'completely' obsoletes keyboarding. This is definitely not the case; it minimizes but does not erase it. Sometimes it is better to delete the whole sentence VR produced and type it anew than make all the necessary deletions.
