The rise of AI in transcription work

I just noticed that more facilities are starting to rely heavily on AI for transcription tasks. Some colleagues are worried about job security, but I wonder if this could streamline our workflow and reduce errors. Has anyone tried integrating AI tools, and how has it changed your daily process?

, I totally get the frustration — it’s a big shift for sure. I tried using AI tools like Otter.ai last month, and while they sped things up, I still found myself double-checking for context errors that the AI missed. I wonder if a balance between human insight and AI efficiency could be the key.

It’s interesting to see how AI can be like a super-fast assistant — just make sure to keep your red pen handy for those little errors! I’ve started using some AI tools, and while they help, I still find that my instincts play a huge role in catching mistakes. Have you found any specific tools that work better for you, @silver_river?
