@zackwhittaker The privacy issues are real, and a much stronger argument, as dictation services frequently did make mistakes. I have memories of my dad complaining about their quality, or how long it took, both of which impacted patient care. It was also harder to fix a mistake when there was a longer delay between recording and discussing something with a patient and the actual charting being done a couple days later.

Pre-1996, the privacy of those was probably also bad, but weren’t networked.
