Hm. I hope those software-created transcriptions are checked for accuracy.
Well, of course they are. But isn't that inefficient? A text is being put together on an automated assembly line, and then a quality-assurance person is obliged to listen to the source document all over again, checking the machine's every letter to try to ensure that no one dies from a mistranslated sound.
It seems to me that you're likely not saving a huge amount of money. Of course, if you save just a penny for every hundred or so documents, that probably matters in the end to the bean counters.
