Speech Recognition in HealthCare
While speech recognition technologies are significantly better than they used to be, not all speech recognition solutions are created equal. Solutions that don’t utilize advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence produce lesser quality recognition results requiring clinicians to spend more time editing and reviewing the recognized text. Choosing lower quality equipment (microphones/foot pedals/headsets) can also negatively affect the standard of recognition.

Should City Bus Companies Allow Independent Bus Owners Jobs For Hire As Back Up Route Drivers?
Should City Bus Companies Allow Independent Bus Owners Jobs For Hire As Back Up Route Drivers? Not to steal the city's passenger bus industry away from the company.

Brilliance Fades Away
I don’t like Mondays. Not because Bob Geldof made the phrase into a catchy tune back in the 80s, but because Monday—early Monday mornings to be specific, is when I must catch up on all the newsworthy events in our community over the past weekend and determine which of these I will write about for our local newspaper. If I am already engaged in writing an article, my editor will leave me alone and go find another of my colleagues to follow-up on his ideas for a story. He occasionally does come up with a good approach to a story, but also, he often promotes a dud to his less than enthusiastic reporting staff.
