Medical Transcription at one time was only to be done in the Hospitals, Dr's Offices, MT Contract Companies Offices, Etc. However, it started to slowly begin to be able to be done from the Medical Transcriptionist's home years ago. The MT would pick up and drop off the micro-cassette that contained the Dr's' dictation in which the MT would transcribe. This limited the MT to only being able to work for someone that was close by and with in driving distance in most cases.

Digital Transcription has changed this in so many ways. You can live in one state and work at home for a company in another state. Now that the Medical Transcription Field has moved up in the world with the ever changing technology it has opened up so many more at home Medical Transcription Job positions.

Tape transcription is now that is becoming less used. This means great news for anyone that wants to pursue a career as an at home MT. Because of the fact that you would not be dealing with the older method of the micro-cassette you would not have to live with in driving distance to do the Medical Transcription Job ! You can live hundreds even thousands of miles away from the Dr., Hospital, MT Contract Company, etc. that you would work do their transcriptions.

Our course is based on the Digital Medical Transcription method because it is the most popular and the amount of people that are switching over to the digital dictation and transcription is growing every day!

Digital Transcription means that you would be hooking up a digital transcriber to your computer verses placing a micro-cassette tape into the transcriber. You would listen to the dictations through your computer either through headphones or your speakers. Most MT's choose to listen through headphones because it is a lot clearer to hear as well as a more private way of doing the work.

We do recommend using headphones for both of those reasons; because you want to be able to hear the information that was dictated as well as you will want to keep the patient's information as private as possible, especially with all the newer HIPPA laws!

Being a Medical Transcriptionist can be a very rewarding career , especially when it is done from the comfort of your own home. However, we are very honest and up front and will not paint any colorful pictures on subjects that we feel it is important for anyone considering becoming a Medical Transcriptionist
