Will Speech Recognition Affect My Future As A Medical Transcriptionist?

MedCentricity Corporation - With technology ever changing, Medical Transcriptionists are beginning to wonder what the future holds now that speech recognition solutions are becoming increasingly popular. Will this new technology deem their skills useless?

Although speech recognition can seemingly eliminate the need to transcribe dictated reports/medical records, it's near impossible for this technology to completely eliminate the need for medical transcriptionists. Speech recognition technology cannot discern the nuances of human error. Even at its best, machine translated text contains errors, which need correction by professionals with strong language skills and a firm understanding of the health record.

Leading technology advancements, such as speech recognition, often times compensate for the shortage of skilled transcriptionists. Each year, the demand for skilled medical transcriptionists grows, but the supply does not.
