This may have been posted before, but anyway, wanted to everyone's thoughts, what they have heard, etc. Will we still have jobs in 5 to 10 years? I've been an MT for 10 years. The last company was going heavy with speech recognition software. My personal doctor is also using this. The company I work for now is just starting to work with it. But I am starting to get worried.

MTs phased out
I've heard some doctors are doing their own, anyway that is the goal for my personal doctor. I was talking to his nurse, and the doctor would have his lap top and speak, and it will type it right then and there. I asked him, though, and he said its not working the greatest yet. YET. I really don't think most doctors want to fiddle around with it. Dictation is a necessary evil, in their mind, I am sure. But the technology is getting better and better. I did S/R editing for awhile and hated it! It was a freakin mess. I wouldn't mind listening and fixing a little, but this was like typing the whole thing all over almost!
