As a...I see mentions of voice recognition on here. As a medical transcriber, I must say a bit about how VR is killing our "industry". <br /><br />I have not personally experienced it, but I have started a few online groups for medical transcribers over the years (we need the support, like, "Hi, my name is Steeny, and I'm a medical transcriber"...) and there are hundreds of MTs suffering loss of pay due to VR.<br /><br />Many MTs working from home as "independent contractors" for MTSOs (medical transcription service organizations, for those who don't know) have taken huge pay cuts when their accounts switched to VR.<br /><br />I suppose somebody assumes it to be less work to clean up the VR errors, so the amount paid is less, but, in fact, it turns out more often than not to be MORE work as it is not as fast as straight typing, with all the jumping around on the page one has to do to get to the parts that need fixing.<br /><br />I know there are a lot of MTs who follow Dr. Grumpy's blog. Maybe some reading this can comment further as to how frustrated we have become in our backwards-directed income levels due to VR.<br /><br />I know VR isn't the only culprit. There is also off-continent outsourcing competing for our income, but that's a whole other topic.<br /><br />I offer my humble Canadian apologies for the change in subject here, Dr. Grumpy, but it is such a huge issue for us MTs, I had to say something.Steeny Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886224738812704532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-22220244325145986822012-10-26T16:31:20.329-04:002012-10-26T16:31:20.329-04:00OK, so now you owe Mrs. Grumpy a nice trip to Fran...OK, so now you owe Mrs. Grumpy a nice trip to France.
