Artificial intelligence into Medical Industry
There seems to be no reason for medical industry to lag behind. No wonder we are on the verge of dynamic innovations empowered by Artificial Intelligence. Soon we will see equipment and medicines that can cure chronic illness in no time. Fractures can be repaired in a jiffy as depicted in the recent sci-fi Hollywood blockbuster. Apparently, medical transcription industry is not untouched with technological progressions. Need for comprehensive and accurate medical coding solutions has egg on many of the healthcare organizations to consider their present framework of medical transcription services.
What AI-powered transcription apps have to offer?
Empowered with AI, new transcription apps promise accurate transcriptions that too in real time. They are claimed to be quick and accurate, both at the same time. The transcript manuals can be saved and shared with other concerned people or group of individuals. There are various advanced features like they support names and keywords search where tapping a word jumps to a particular point in the playback.

Not always technology can be trusted blindfolded and when it comes to financial claims you need to be particularly sure of your decision. Here are some of the aspects that can be considered or referred before you make the final call.
Misinterpretation leads to lack of accuracy
As quoted, voice recognition software won’t always transcribe accurately. The context of the language is not fully grasped by these AI based voice recognition software. When it comes to homonyms, slangs, technical words, and acronyms this software fails to differentiate or give it a proper meaning leading to future disruption of the process.
Within the budget? Not always
These voice recognition apps and software may give you a perception that it may speed up the entire medical billing process.

Even if the voice changes or if you mumble or talk too fast out of circumstances, apps and software cannot provide an error-free transcription.
