Any MT who edits any voice recognition files should be stoned. If greedy MDs want to take out the human element, let's eave it out. The whole voice recognition thing will disappear in a heartbeat. One in a thousand doctors might, might be able to pull it off without help from a medical Transcriptionist with professional judgment and a working brain.  Actually, I doubt that one in a thousand would be able to rely on their own perfection.  I teach medical transcription, and one of my first instructions to students is, "Never, never, never spell a word or drug as dictated by the MD, and never pay attention to their instructions with regard to punctuation." It isn't a matter of trying to "nip voice recognition in the bud," it's a matter of not jumping through the hoops or nooses meant to eventually hang us. If they're using VR, just tell them to have a happy life and be on your way. Helping them out is like give terrorists a map and directions. C'mon people. Use the gray matter.
