Most of the bigger companies offer online testing and base their hiring on those who are able to pass. Medquist is one of the biggest transcription employers and Nuance is expanding rapidly. I would try them first. Allen- I would apply with one of the big agencies because they are more likely to have someone available to orient you to the company.

I want to do it at home as I have digitel software and word, etc., but I dont know anyone that will hire me who has always done inhouse work. Any advice in getting an inhouse job, or work at home for the first time. Thank you. Allen G. Paulson Hi,

In my case i send/receive files through an FTP site to my employer. I type all my reports using microsoft word, which has so many great features that i included using word in my transcription tips.

Dragon and other speech recognition programs are sure to have a huge impact. Some physicians will resist of course but most will probably transition to voice recognition in coming years. However, for the sake of accuracy reports generated through speech recognition need proofreading. Transcriptionists who embrace this technology and become comfortable with editing will survive in teh transcription industry. as to thequestion of billing/coding versus transcription training i would jump at a course that combined the 2 programs just from an employability standpoint. Good luck in whatever you choose! The demand for trained medical transcriptionists is predicted to increase through the next decade.

I hear of so many people interested in becoming transcriptionist that I am afraid the market will be flooded. Do you see that as a real possibility? Also, is billing and coding an area that will have the best chance of finding a position? I only ask, because I am in my late 50's, with many years of administrative work and would like to have a change. (Mid life career change :). Finally, do you think "Dragon" software will affect the transcriptionist business? Career Step appears to be an excellent school and would be my choice. Thank you for providing such valuable and helpful knowledge. I guess we get a little skittish in our career choice with today's economy. Ollie_B Kudos to the website.

I have worked as a transcriptionist for a family practice from 1993-2000. I have since been working at a University Hospital in oncology working on clinical research protocols. I would like to go back to transcription so I can work from home. Do you have any suggestions on how I can refresh my skills and familiarize myself with the new software that companies are using now? I have no doubt that I can transcribe accurately and efficiently, but I need to be able to market myself (I type 90 wpm). Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks Hi, I like your site!
