i think it is automatic speech recognition but it is the same as VR which is voice recognition.
Voice recognition or speech recognition.

Whoops
Didn't mean to put Bah-Humbug, but that was my last post!!
Whoops, how did i get here? LOL.
not very computer savvy ...LOL. But I know my transcription....LOL.
Whoops....
The first didn't come thru and now it did.....
Whoops. Got cut off. sm
see link! Love this lady. She knows her stuff, she is POSITIVE which we don't see much on this site. Witty, excellent, and I have learned a lot from her.
Whoops! My bad!
How on earth did THAT happen, I wonder?? Oh well. Thanks for forwarding!
Whoops! Meant 13,000!
Duh.
whoops - in order to see them all....sm

whoops, that's 'only' you, not on you...

Whoops! DH gave DD the car (sorry for the confusion)!
What happened was that I thought a second hand car was fine and she should pay for it like I did in high school but he said, "Are you kidding? You bought your own car in high school in 1975 when it cost a couple hundred bucks. If she bought her own car now she'd need a loan for the friggin' thing. It's just not possible anymore for kids to buy anything like that from a minimum wage job at the Dairy Queen, plus if by some act of God she was able to it would be a piece of junk and unsafe."
whoops - I meant 98 Degrees...LOL..NM

Whoops, I see there is another Becky. I will now call myself SM

Whoops..I meant the county where the crime was committed, not

Whoops and I meant to say that Unicomp look like a great keyboard.
I am glad to see there are companies still making good quality keyboards and making them with a USB connection. You cannot go wrong with a buckling spring or mechanical click keyboard (if you can tolerate the noise) for quality. The keys stay snappy and the marking stays on. You pay a little more but personally I would rather pay 2 or 3 times as much for a great keyboard than to keep buying a new one every year. As I understand the plastic one that you buy at office depot that are Logitech or Microsoft cost about 5 dollars to manufacture. No wonder they wear out.
Whoops! Thought I corrected "experiment" before I posted
And please forgive any other typos I may have missed. :)
Whoops, probably should have mentioned, I work on Dictaphone ExSpeech. NM

Not for recognition
But I am glad I have found a way to make money which also benefits others.
MQs speech recognition.

speech recognition
I worked with speech recognition at my last job and I didn't like it. It took longer and alot of mistakes came through. You were editing, but I found I could do a better and faster job typing it myself. Everyone's production went down and error rates went up because you become complacent and when you are reading along with the words playing in your ears your eyes have a tendency to overlook a lot of little things that should be edited. I did not find it productive or helpful just a mess.
Speech recognition
I am on speech recognition as it comes up. Don't have it all the time and it is on the DQS platform. I enjoy the break from typing but can be slow as you really have to listen to every word and make the corrections where necessary. The fastest typists just erase the entire report and retype. I just listen and make corrections. I have not had a pay reduction as of yet since this is not all I do. I am still paid my regular per line rate for SR but rumor has it that this will change but this is only a rumor, nothing in writing. If you do not like editing, can always tell them that you just want to type and not edit. I am on high speed internet also. Hope this helps.
Voice recognition
There's an ad on Mtjobs.com for editors for a voice recognition account. The company is called Focus Infomatics.
Voice recognition?
Hello, new to these boards and I have a question.
Is there a voice recognition software that will work for medical reports? I'm not sure how it would work, if it would actually translate the speech directly from the dictation you are listening to on your computer, or if you'd have to listen and speak it at the same time for the software to translate it?
I've been doing MT for about 3 years now and I'm developing hand/wrist pain, and I'm afraid my time in this profession may be running out. I really love this work and I'm hoping to find a way to make it work.

Voice recognition
Naturally Speaking v.8 works great if,
The digital voice recorder can deliver at 44.1 khz. However, these are .wma files and are HUGE!
The user takes the time to teach the software the nuances of his/her voice. This takes weeks.
The user knows how to punctuate. There are a lot of smart people that don't know where the hypen goes.
The user uses standard dictation commands ie. full stop, new paragraph ect.
If not, you end up with a blob if inaccurate info that's going to the MT for clean up.
If so, you end up with a relatively accurate doc that still should go to a MT for proofing.
IMHO, there's a lot of speech recognition software on shelves all around the world.

That too has now gone to voice recognition

Does anyone use voice recognition to help them do their job?
Voice Recognition
After hearing about it for years, I finally did my first VR work a few days ago. My fellow MTs, I think we have nothing to fear from this technology. It will take years, probably a generation, before it is perfected enough to replace us. I actually found it rather entertaining to edit - it just prints out exactly what it hears phonetically, including the instructions - "Go back up and add...."
I think they should show some Voc Rec printouts and transcribed reports of the same dictations at all Medical Staff Meetings so dictators can see just what we do in our job.
Voice recognition
...I agree with your post Desertflour, but for a different reason. Medical language specialists should keep statistical analysis of what VR types and present it to administrators to show how much they are foolishly throwing their money away! By the time the MLS edits and corrects, it is almost like retying. Where's the savings?
Voice Recognition
I've done voice recognition in the Radiology department for a hospital for two years. I wasn't there when they first started using it, but I'm told the goal was for them to have only one Transcriptionist (editor). We're fully staffed now (actually today was my last day there - I'm working at MQ now) and let me tell you, those docs are not even close to being ready to solve their own problems and self correct. There is only one doc out of 17 that self corrects, and his reports don't look good at all.
I'm not saying it'll never happen, but I think we're going to be needed for awhile.
voice recognition
Could somebody tell me about voice recognition as far as transcriptionists using it? How does that work? I'm really interested. I know that several years ago it was the talk, but I think everybody found out it was not very good or easy to train. Are transcriptionists now using it to transcribe dictation? and how do they do this?
Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition (VR) software does require some change in discipline for the dictator. However, today's VR programs are much more intelligent than in years past (and not too past, either).
The key to successful VR is the "training" of the software for a particular user. Once that's done, the software can do a 95%+ job in accuracy. And, after correcting any errors, the software gets even more accurate.
I'm a speaker this weekend at the San Diego AAMT chapter meeting. I'm giving a talk on how VR can be used to make MT's more efficient. I think it's time more MT's took a serious look at letting VR help them get more work done more quickly. I have 3 MT's in my family, so it's not just the salesman in me speaking - I truly think you could get ahead of the game and negate your doctor's switching on their own ("Hey, Doc, I'm already using VR, so you don't have to go through the hassle"). And Dr.'s don't have time to be fooling around with software, training, corrections, etc.
Just my two cents.

Voice Recognition
We're moving to use Packet8 VoIP service. We've been studying VoIP solutions for some time now, and I think they have the best program (we'll see when we begin testing it soon). Their calls use less bandwidth than Vonage, which we like. As for back-up phone lines, you can configure the Packet8 system to route calls to your cell phone (or another land line) if your Internet connection goes down. We like that feature particularly. We're on a fixed-price LD plan with SBC right now, so the LD savings aren't much, but for our toll-free line, we stand to save a bundle!
It is voice recognition...probably 2.5 cpl.
You edit what the system/computer puts out which could sometimes be nearly the entire thing for that amount per line! No fun!
Thanks MT Stars for the recognition!!!...n/m
MT week recognition
I work for DeVenture Health Partners... I received a beautiful huge hanging fern from them for MT week. Last year also received a nice gift.
competing for recognition
Did not win, and of course there were at least 10 people who won more than once during the week. I appreciate my QAs also, & they should have had a chance at the prizes, as they have been in the trenches longer than I have.
voice recognition just got
Some people have asked if it was possible to install Dragon on their system and then play the physician's dictation into the microphone. (wouldn't that be nice?) Well, things have moved that much closer to this happening.
There is a product called TranscriptionAID, which is sold by TranscriptionGear (click on link below). It is used in conjunction with DNS. I think the article is fairly self-explanatory.
Voice recognition
I tried it years ago and it was a joke. I'm sure the technology has improved so I would like to know too. I may have to look at it again.
Speech Recognition
Does anyone use speech recognition software for better transcription productivity? If so, I am interested in learning more about it & would like to talk. Thanks.
Speech recognition
I absolutely love editing speech recognition. After typing for 20 years, it definitely gives my hand a break. I like the pay as well.
EHR and voice recognition
I don't know about the EHR part, but I know the voice recognition part is not true. Many doctors still do not like voice recognition from previous years when it was introduced, and many will never be able to use it. Dictating so that it is understood by a computer program is a skill that many doctors will never have (or take the time to develop).
Also, even if everyone did go to voice recognition, the work would still need to be edited. I have used voice recognition in my work, and it takes a long time to train, and even then it gets confused because it cannot 'think.' It also makes many errors that are hard to catch without very diligent proofreading.
