Repetitive Strain Injury May Vanish With A Clear Voice

"ViaVoice 10 Speech Recognition Software Can Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury" says Dr. G. Blair Lamb, MD

Repetitive strain injuries or RSI’s, are chronic pains that originate typically from repetitive work. 

Repetitive computer work is one of the fastest growing associated causes of repetitive strain injury in North America. It is on the verge of becoming a plague, costing literally billions of dollars in compensation per year. 

With the speech dictation systems such as IBM’s ViaVoice 10 and improvements in the personal workstation, we now have a chance to reduce these ever increasing problems.

Many people accumulate these strains over a lifetime of typing.  These workplace injuries can be avoided by using speech products rather than typing.  Part of the solution is to stop or reduce your typing or mouse clicks.  That requires a solution to get the work done.  From my own experience over a number of years, I know that ViaVoice can do this.

These products are now very useful with high degrees of accuracy and functionality.

With increasing compensation claims, lawsuits and employee resentment for these painful injuries, I expect that employers will soon make products like ViaVoice the office standard.  

These RSI problems are unnecessary risks for the employer and employee. 

In addition to using good ergonomics in the workstation and minimizing repetitive tasks such as typing, RSI is potentially preventable and reversible with a proper stretching program such as The Lamb Program™.  

There is now a training video to help you see and hear how to use IBM ViaVoice versions 10, 9 or 8 featuring Grant Fairley - an IBM Certified instructor on how to use the product. They also have audio CDs and manuals to assist you in learning the products.

Another tool I use is portable dictation - I can dictate my notes anywhere and anytime.  Then I can process it through ViaVoice.
