I have heard of places where you don't have to listen to the whole dictation, only refer to it to resolve questions, but I've not worked at one of them.
Listening matters because the computer mis-"hears" and also is inclined to insert its own "corrections" that read right but are not what the dictator said.
Depending on how well the computer has learned the dictator, though, you can speed the dictation up, sometimes to as fast as the audio will allow, and still keep up with the few corrections that need to be dropped in. Also, if you know the dictator well, you can be reading out ahead f the audio, skimming through the usual verbage as you look for the next correction, which you make as the dictation is catching up (and as you try to keep some attention on what's happening back there in case dictation isn't the usual), and then you continue on.
Reports early in the SR learning curve are typically so full of errors that they're almost more typing than reading. Reports produced by a computer that's learned the dictator, though, are almost all speedy reading, with only a little typing. |
