So earlier this year, the company I work for lost some medical transcription clients because they decided to use AI.
We have started getting them back, because it is taking clinicians too long to fix the AI transcripts. So now they pay for the AI, and then they pay us to fix it.

It does, and always will require editing, but it is faster than me typing the notes.
I'm still skeptical on if they are truly destroying the recordings after 2 weeks like they promised.
Congrats on your new income stream. :D
It would take me less time to do a fresh transcription than to edit an AI transcription to the same accuracy!
Narrator: don't panic. Toast doesn't have breast cancer. She had a breast cancer screening like every other 50 something woman.
it kinda works for ortho & well-child checks
not so much for palliative & psychiatry

So I can see how someone would think that it would be a place it fit.
But clinicians are expensive and busy, so lots of errors are bad.
In reality-land it’s more that the clinician might glance at it for .5 seconds before signing off on it
So we can confidently say, they do not check them
They don't look at it. But the process says they do.
So somone looking at the process without understanding would think they could.
But it's dumb, you need to be able to trust your transcription service
And humans are bad at picking up errors on review so it's just dumb to assume human in the loop fixes the fundamental problem

If we can normalize paying double for “fix the AI” work, then we’ll be onto something
one of my friends' mothers did at-home medical transcription from tape in like 1992
However, since it's all fuzzy logic, it needs to be checked by a human being. This is true even for your voicemail, ffs.
ai transcript: patient died of cancer
The source material is often unvetted, so unsurprisingly the output is on occasion utter nonsense.
