1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program product for computing a correction rate predictor for medical record dictations, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions for causing a computer to: initiate automatic speech recognition processing of a dictation to initiate producing a draft medical transcription of at least a portion of the dictation; determine features of at least a portion of the dictation to produce a feature set comprising a combination of features of the dictation, the features being relevant to a quantity of expected transcription errors in the transcription of the at least a portion of the dictation; analyze the feature set to compute a predicted correction rate associated with the at least a portion of the dictation; use the predicted correction rate to determine whether to abandon the automatic speech recognition processing prior to automatic speech recognition processing of all of the dictation; use the predicted correction rate to determine whether to provide at least a portion of the draft medical transcription of the at least a portion of the dictation to a transcriptionist; and provide the at least a portion of the draft medical transcription to the transcriptionist if the predicted correction rate is below a threshold.
