Most of them would rather pay a medical transcriptionist huge amounts of

My wife did transcription for years, and lately began a Dragon approach: She
would listen to the doctor in the headphones then speaks the same thing
slowly, evenly, and carefully into Dragon.

Wow, that was doing transcription the hard way, I admire her for that.


A much easier and less labor intensive way would be for a transcriber to
persuade the doctor to speak into one of those tiny digital recorders
that is "approved" by the Dragon people, such as the Sony ICD-MX20.

(only recorder to earn a 5 star rating from the Dragon outfit, for
accuracy)


Later, that recorder could be hooked up to a PC or a Mac, and all the
doctors speech files can be loaded into Dragon, where they are promptly
automatically converted to text, no labor needed from the transcriber.

The transcriber can then correct the few residual mistakes in the text,
effectively using the doctors own voice files.

Very easy for the transcriber, she does not need to take dictation,
rather merely correct the existing dictation - - - in fact the
correction operation can be done by lower staff employees with minimal
medical experience.

All they have to do is compare the doctors voice file word-for-word to
the printed text, and if there is a mismatch, correct the text to match
the word in the voice file.

Worse that can happen is that occasionally the unskilled person might
type in the wrong medical word, assuming that "wrong" word sounds like
the audio version of the same word.

No Big Deal, that wrong sound-alike word will be corrected by the doctor
himself during the doctors final correction of the text.

The text is read to the unskilled staff member by Dragon at the same
speed as when the doctor was talking. She can stop the read, back it
up, correct the text, then resume the read at full speed.

Unskilled staff should be able to correct about 9 out of 10 residual
text mistakes, greatly easing the doctors final correction chore.



The doctor, when he has the time, then has the choice of:

A) Correct the residual-residual mistakes on his own Mac or PC,
where he has access to his original voice audio which is
automatically synched to the text.

B) Mark up the text file manually and file it.
