a new technology that will change the role of the transcriptionist is
a.speech recognition
b.desktop transcription systems
c.smards cards
d.personal digital assistants
my answer is d
I disagree.
PDAs have been around since the 1990s.
The correct answer is a. speech recognition.
To determine the correct answer to this multiple-choice question, you need to understand the role of a transcriptionist and then find the technology that will change or affect that role.
A transcriptionist is a person who converts audio recordings into written documents. They listen to recorded audio files and transcribe them accurately.
Out of the given options, "speech recognition" is the technology that will significantly change the role of a transcriptionist. Speech recognition technology uses algorithms and machine learning to convert spoken words into written text automatically. With advancements in speech recognition technology, the need for manual transcription by human transcriptionists has been decreasing.
Option b, desktop transcription systems, refers to software programs or applications specifically designed for transcription. These systems assist transcriptionists in transcribing audio files more efficiently, but they don't change the role of the transcriptionist itself.
Option c, smards cards, is not a known technology term and is likely irrelevant to the context of the question.
Option d, personal digital assistants (such as Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant), may assist with certain tasks but do not significantly impact the role of a transcriptionist.
Therefore, the correct answer is a. speech recognition.
