No worries about speech recognition taking our jobs

Hello, I am a new MT and learned transcription from cassette tapes and Express Scribe. Can someone tell me what voice recognition is and how is it used in transcription? ...

I just got offered a job doing straight typing but also speech recognition. Is this hard to do? I have no experience and I was wondering also if I can move quickly doing this so I can make good money?? What are your thoughts about this? Thank you for your time. Elizabeth ...

Hello: I don't know if I am using the right terminology, but my corporation has decided to use some kinda digital voice capture, so the software spits out unedited reports. meaning, as a hospital trained transcriptionist, I've gone from transcription to pure editing. And I am quaking in my boots. I would like to supplement my current job with at home transcription. Is this even still to be found? All perspectives welcome. Thank you. ...

I graduated in May from the MT program at a local two-year college and, naturally, it's nearly impossible to find a medical transcription job as a newbie. Since speech recognition seems to be the future, I was wondering if taking a speech recognition editing course would be a good investment of my time and money. AHDI, I know, is offering a speech recognition editing course. I've done a lot of copy editing in my previous clerical jobs. I've always been good at copy edit ...

What is the going rate now for speech recognition work and how do you make any money doing it if the rates are low with all the editing that has to be done. ...

Does anyone knowing about Inscribe know if it uses speech recognition? I heard of an job using Inscribe paying 8c a line, including spaces - sounds good to me unless it is reduced for speech recognition work. ...

Has anyone ever tried speech recognition software when transcribing and if so how does it work. ...

When I get nothing but VR reports and have to change every second word, it is so hard getting even minimum wage and it is just so much more exhausting than regular typing where you get into a rhythm and I get so many bad dictators doing VR. If I keep getting nothing but VR, don't know if I will last here. Anyone else feel like this? Do these dictators think that all their slurred words, yawns, etc., magically morph into a perfect document. Ve ...

On a report, under "social history", the speaker says the patient lives alone with some pets. Speaker dooesn't actually state anything further regarding pets, but the document says "7 cats" right after where it says patient lives with pets. Where did speech recognition get the fanciful nondictated " 7 cats" from? Does it mean that speech recognition probably heard a previous report in which another patient had 7 cats? Interestingly, this was a psychiatric report. Given that the patie ...

Will b starting to work from home soon and would like to use Vista's speech recognition. My ques is do I need to buy Stedman's spellchecker and the dictionary or just the dictionary? Thanks. ...

I have a job offer but it includes speech recognition editing. I have never done this before. Could someone tell me typically how many lines per hour on average you can edit, so I have a basis on whether or not income-wise this would make sense to do? Also, what is the going rate for speech recognition editing, line rate? ...

Is DocQvoice only a speech recognition system? I have a very good lead on a job working directly for a small hospital, but was just told by the woman who already works for them that they are going to DocQvoice. Right now it is all straight transcription on a Lanier system with a VXP player. She doesn't seem to think it would be speech recognition because she doesn't think the doctors would go for it. Also, I'm not sure I'm interested in the job if it's not straig ...

I work for a hospital that has been using the Dictaphone speech the last couple of years. We were told how our production was just going to increase and how it was going to be WONDERFUL. My production is still where it was two years ago and I would be better off typing each report. Sorry for the ranting, but while working this evening, I just got set off by the following: "SOCIAL HISTORY: He is down to 15 cattle formally worked as a strips all conservation engineer. &nb ...

Hey guys, the other day I tested a software program called VoxcribeCC, it works well on videos. If you do closed captioning or subtitling, it really eases the task with its speech recognition and time stamping functions. Accuracy is pretty high. I think it is way more powerful than dragon ...

Ok everyone, need some advice please. At my old company I was straight typing and doing probably 1800 lines daily. I go do a new company and speech rec is all they have with probably 1% straight typing. I've been losing on the average of $600 per pay period as a result of speech rec. How the heck can I get back the money I was making doing straight typing? ...

My job is transitioning to from straight transcription to speech recognition. This is what is being offered: 0.045 per line A line is defined as 2 edited lines = 1 regular MT typing line of 65 characters So in summary, 1. My cents per line is going to be cut in half going to SR editing. 2. The edited lines is also being cut in half because it takes 2 edited lines to equal 1 transcribed line. Does this sound right? Are all companies counting lines this way? If ...

I am very interested in learning what the different 'guidelines' or 'requirements' are for those of you now doing SR editing. What is the minimum line count you are expected to have and is that reasonable? Thanks!!! ...

Dictator said: Sturge-Weber syndrome System typed: stirred should we burst syndrome ...

that I THINK might be 3M- I don't know, everyone here at the hospital just calls it BESR- they say it is a new program but it just seems almost like some generic deal. I have used Escription in the past and by now (6 months into it) Escription was putting out decent drafts that required little changing, and this one we have is still putting out reports that are as bad as the beginning- it puts in words that sound nothing like what the doctor says, and when a beeper goes off or t ...

I have been straight transcribing for many moons. Then got into doing QA and a lot of the reports I get are straight editing of speech recognition rather than doing QA. My production stinks when I do straight editing and have no idea how those of you that edit speech recognition all day make a living. Kudos to YOU! I am one of the probably few QA who really appreciates you MT's who make our jobs easier and do AMAZING jobs transcribing what I can't even QA. Thank you for your hard work ...

Hello: I am contemplating a position at MModal. I understand a lot of the work is speech recognition. Can anyone fill me in on what program you use, is it quick, does it learn to correct mistakes made over and over by a doctor, and do you think you can make $ with a big percentage of SR reports? I understand the pay is less than straight transcription. Many thanks in advance for your opinions. ...

What are the average line counts on an 8-hour shift doing speech recognition? I use Dictaphone/Extext. I'm producing on average about 240/hr sometimes less. Any info appreciated. ...

As I was working today I thought about speech versus transcription, and it occurred to me that I was transcribing a good deal in each speech report I "edited." Why is transcription done for a full report paid any differently than transcription done in a speech report? In other words, why don't I get paid my transcription line count for the characters I am transcribing in a speech report, particularly since a great deal of these speech reports require almost re-transcribing completely due to ...

I posted this in the VR/Speech Rec forum but reposted it here since that forum doesn't seem to get much traffic lately. The hospital I work for changed over the Editscript last year. Changeover went relatively smoothly, and we still had plenty of work to keep all the transcriptionists busy (after we stopped outsourcing the overflow we used to have). Recently, the hospital switched to Epic electronic medical record system, and within a week the transcription workload plummeted to ...
