You've probably heard different opinions and views on this subject. If you're a medical transcriptionist you may even be concerned about voice recognition taking over your career? and you're not alone.
Let's dig a bit deeper into voice recognition.
As you already know Cheap Shaquille O'Neal Jersey , doctors are busy people. This is never more obvious then when they're dictating their notes. It's understandable they're busy, and as their MT, I can surely forgive them but will the latest voice recognition software be as forgiving as me?
Not likely.
As a transcriptionist you will have typed through background noise, patients moaning, doctors eating their lunch Cheap Reggie Lewis Jersey , personal conversations (oops they forgot the recorder was on) and other incomprehensible noise. Not to mention, ESL doctors with heavy accents and very tired ER doctors after a long shift!
At this time there is no voice recognition software which can handle this type of voice recognition. It is impossible for the software to determine actual speech from mistakes in conversation, background noise, heavy accents, etc.
So what does this mean for our future?
Rumors of MTs being out of r a job have been around long before I became an MT. Eight years later Cheap Kevin Mchale Jersey , there are still no real advances in this field.
Can voice recognition ever replace transcriptionists?
Sure it can.
If a doctor is willing to sit down and take the sufficient time to train his voice recognition software to recognize his voice and speech patterns (this takes time and is not done automatically), yes it is possible.
If the doctor thereafter dictates very clearly, using proper punctuation in his speech (stopping for periods, pausing for commas) without any background noise or interruptions. Yes, it is possible.
Will the document be 100% accurate?
No.
Remember medical records have to be in compliance with a number of very strict regulations. Most doctors Cheap John Havlicek Jersey , will not trust voice recognition enough to send these records through without at least a quick glance through.
Even under the best dictating circumstances the report will still need to be proofread and edited. So, yes under the ?perfect? circumstances, voice recognition can replace a transcriptionist.
Is it likely? Not unless every physician out there is willing to take the time, energy and ongoing effort to train their voice recognition software and maintain a certain standard of dictation.
I don't see that happening any time soon. Doctors are busy people, remember? ;)
If anything Cheap Danny Ainge Jersey , us MTs should embrace voice recognition and use it as a tool to help us in our MT careers. If applied properly, it can be a time-saving tool. So why not use it for our purposes?
As with any business to stay ahead of the game you have to adapt to change and technology. Learn how to use it to your advantage instead of being frightened by it. That's the only way to stay ahead of the competition?. Voice recognition or otherwise.
If you want to be a successful painter someday or if you simply want painting for a hobby and don't know how to pursue your artistic dreams, you can start developing your drawings by yourself. You can draw a simple object first, without any details.
Then, you can add the details as you remember it. The key factor in drawing or painting is imagination. Let your imagination run wild to make eerie Cheap Bob Cousy Jersey , realistic, abstract or simply amazing paintings. You can also search the internet or go to local bookstore and find quality books that will teach you the basics. From there, you can put in some of your ideas for a distinct and personal touch. Some books can teach you how to paint or draw like a professional. Of course to be able to practice thoroughly, you need to invest on materials like books, pencils of different shades and textures Cheap Dennis Johnson Jersey , brushes, and other art materials. Experiment on the different shading, angles, perspective, vanishing points and a whole lot more.
In order to expand on any inherent drawing skills Cheap Red Auerbach Jersey , one needs to constantly exercise the hands and eyes. This can be accomplished by sketching for a set amount of time each day. Sketching in perpetuity comprises the best way, maybe the only way, for you to accelerate the "learn how to draw" process in a more artistic and professional manner. Recall that drawing skill develops via ceaseless practice using both your hands and your eyes, your ability to observe. Such a skill does not improve by merely reading a book or acquiring a plethora of available book-based knowledge. Thus, practice your hand to draw and practice your eyes to see. Be ever attentive to your surroundings. Try sketching inanimate objects or people during any idle time. Taking this approach can turn a worthwhile hobby into a well-paying job in the future.
All you need to do to become a great artist is discover the secrets of placing color exactly where you want it. Take the genius artist Vincent Van Gogh's lead...
He never thought about what he was doing when he painted his masterpiece Sunflower paintings... because he knew exactly what the paint was going to do with each brush stroke and brush mark. The paint gave him a perfect result every time.
It is like riding a horse. Understand what the horse wants and what the horse does and he'll take you wherever you want to go. The finest artists are rarely famous just for their ability to draw. There are millions of artists out there who can draw very well. The best known artists are often those who can think critically Cheap Walter Brown Jersey , and possess an infinite amount of wisdom. They also have the required skills to express their thoughts and wisdom on a white piece of canvas. That is art at its best.
