Yet another profession that will be more or less extinct in about a decade or two.
Nevertheless an intriguing method to have humans trained in what essentially is a mechanic task. Reminds me of Dune.
- jp3 7y agoIt's already an husked iteration of what the field was ten years ago. And within the last 2-3yrs, the business of transcription has headed towards SaaS-like providers with fairly dismal compensation structures. re: "extinct in a decade or two," time horizons look more like 5-7 years maximum, though that has more to do with structural labor changes and machine-assisted processing; can't even consider an NLP breakthrough in the equation.
