I have noticed that the work we are getting recently is of tough and ESL dictators, which is not done by the US companies. In my previous company, there were US MTs too and their work was proofreaded by the Indian PRs as the dictations were too tough. Earlier this was not the situation. We used to get mixed bag of dictations.
Small companies and vendors are merging into the source companies.
Yes..voice recognition is making the job tough due to the low pay we get working on VRS files though the quality they render is not good.
Even, I advice the guys not to take up this job as you will end up with a limited salary. Pay is not going to rise after a certain level. Listening to dictations and looking at computer screen for long hours cause hearing problems, ear infections, and eye problems.
