<br /> <br /> <br />For a Detective with an annual salary of $50,000. <br /> <br />Dictating for two hours/day, which then is transcribed by transcriptionist <br />(with an annual salary of $24,000) for 2.5 hours: <br /> <br />Cut the transcriptionist time to .5 hours (only correcting with speech <br />recognition) – save 2 hours/day @ $11.54 = <br />$23.08/day X 5 days X 47 wks/yr = $5,423.80/yr. <br /> <br />If the detective only used it for 2 hours/day (whether dictating directly <br />into computer or into digital recorder), the system would pay for itself <br />in about 1 1/2 months (35 work days). <br /> <br /> <br />For a Transcriptionist with an RSI Injury. <br /> <br />One local company calculated that the average cost of an RSI injury <br />was $30,000. OSHA found the average to be $27,700. <br /> <br />With speech recognition, RSI injuries for transcriptionist staff can be <br />totally prevented at a cost of less than $800/staff member. You can <br />put 37 staff members on speech recognition for the cost of one RSI <br />case. <br /> <br />For the staff where the injury is already present, that staff member <br />can be made productive NOW (no more down time) at cost of less <br />than $800. (How much has a temporary replacement already cost <br />you?) For an employee with this disability, Dragon is definitely a <br />“reasonable accommodation” under the ADA. <br />
