Pardon my ignorance. I never thought things out this way and as an outsider had no indication of this happening.

Speech recognition has indeed been making inroads into medical transcription. There is an increasing tendency among doctors these days to use speech recognition software to convert speech into text and then have that text corrected by medical transcriptionists. Despite this being more cumbersome than direct transcription, they are being paid considerably less for this job. The fact that so-called able-bodied people also work as medical transcriptionists has had no impact on doctors wanting to use speech recognition and thereby cut down their transcription costs. Justin Philips, one of the AI members, has been directly affected by this trend and may have further information.

There isn't any connection with the two. Doctors in the US need well-drafted reports for their clients which they can't draft by themselves. Speech recognition has an impact in situations where a person cannot use their hands to work on the keyboard. I have also heard of folks trying to build applications where a person's voice can be used as a unique identification in tele banking and similar kinds of IVT based services. Tht apart, I have not heard or read speech recognition impacting medical transcription (remember: MT is also done by able bodied folks).
