Voice Recognition Transcription and the
Medical Transcription Business

Technological developments have evolved rapidly in recent years, affecting the medical dictation and medical transcription sectors. Many health care providers now use digital dictation devices such as hand-held PCs and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) for their dictation needs. VRS (Voice Recognition Software) is employed more and more for medical record transcription and for medical dictation transcription. VRS is transcription software that transcribes digital voice recordings without the need for typing and dictation services. The latest versions of VRS claim to be nearly as accurate as traditional transcriptionists. Medical transcription software has evolved, and online medical transcription services are fast gaining ground as health care facilities opt to outsource medical dictation and medical transcription requirements (radiology transcription, medical records transcription …) to minimize in-house medical transcription costs. Medical transcripts are now stored electronically, enabling physicians and other authorized personnel to access medical record transcripts remotely.

Technological advances certainly have changed the medical transcription business, but one thing remains constant: the transcription of spoken medical language to text is a transcription process that can only be carried out efficiently by certified medical transcriptionists. Even when VRS is used, medical terminology transcriptionists are needed to edit the transcripts since medical transcription involves vital information. Accuracy is imperative, and qualified medical transcriptionists, with medical transcription training, must simultaneously listen, read and edit the VRS medical transcriptions, to confirm every medical term. The time needed for this transcription process often cancels out the benefits VRS.
