I'll counter that ASR does improve the efficiency. The biggest player in Medical Transcription is Nuance. It's main product is a ASR! The MT industry has moved on from all human process in the last decade. The ASR accuracy in MT is currently around 90%. The rest of the work is done by human editors.
Our goal with ASR is not replace the typists, but to assist them. On an average typing takes 4X the duration of actual time. An 80% accurate ASR may reduce it to 2X, which in turn should translate to faster turnaround and improved throughput.
