I cannot find the "free" test. All I see are the $49.95 ones. [2006-08-17]
can you provide a direct link?
I don't think so [2008-05-28]
I know someone who worked for court reporters as a scopist transcribing the notes taken by them in court BEFORE it became computerized. Once it became computerized, it seems the court reporters would just run their notes through a machine and would edit it themselves. She lost her job and the only way she could continue in the business was to become a court reporter herself. Sure, a school can teach you how to do it, but there is no guarantee you will ever find a job doing it. If you are interested, you need to search messageboards relating to court reporting, job boards, etc., to see if there are actually jobs out there or if court reporters no longer hire scopists due to computerization.

Health Records [2008-04-19]
Where can I find info stating how long AHDI recommends an MT business retain health records?
Legal question...sm [2007-06-01]
A friend of mine had a DC after suffering a miscarriage because she had an incomplete miscarriage at 10 weeks. After she did not get her period back with a couple of months she underwent testing by another doctorand ended up finding out that part of her uterus was removed. She talked to a couple of attorneys who only seem to want to try to get a high amount of money out of the doctor and hospital but my friend isn She and her husband are also upset that they were not told at the time of surgery or afterwards that there was a problem encountered.
Do you know of a resource to find out what a fair compensation would be for this mistake and the fact that the surgeon and hospital didn I have no idea where to point her to go. Thank you.
Legal Transcription [2007-01-19]
Yeah, that would be great. But I think it's pretty difficult to find legal work from home unless it's contract work only. If you don't need benefits and can exist on contract work only legal is great to do from home. If you don't need to work from home you can make great money working as a law office word processing operator. I'm training for MT just because I want to work from home and have some benefits.
I obtained my AAS in Legal Transcription, but [2006-09-07]
As I only found jobs that were offering little pay and no benefits, so I never worked in this field. I ended up going back for medical transcription and have been doing that for the past 9 years. I am now going back for my RN degree. Anyways, I went to my local community college for two years if you are looking for a place to find education in this field. Good luck to you.
medical terminology certification [2006-09-04]
where did you run across the medical terminology test certification? I would like to try to pass it. lol. lp
Legal transcriptionist, too [2006-07-16]
I, too, am a legal Transcriptionist and started out in a very similar way. Worked for a law firm for a while and transcribed briefs and correspondence for the attorneys. Once my daughter was born I wanted to find something that I could do at home and started my transcription business. And I agree, it has been a long journey and I'm still trying to build up my client base 10 years later in order to make enough so that our family is not so dependant on my husband's income. My clients are varied and include insurance companies, state agencies, translators, authors, court reporters, attorneys, etc. The problem is that the work is not consistent so I must always be on the lookout for new opportunities. Anyone with any marketing ideas I would love to hear what is working for you.
I have long yearned for a legal transcription message board and even toyed with the idea of creating one myself if I had enough techno savvy because the medical field is flooded with message boards but the legal field really has nowhere to go to discuss issues that are unique to our chosen field of work. So THANK YOU for including this board on your website for us!

I used to work for a medical expert who did brain injury cases. Where did you find a job transcribing these reports for medical experts?
certification for typing [2006-07-10]
have any of you ever heard of becoming certified on Brainbench.com's website? They are an ISO certifier and you can take the typing test for free. If you attain a certain score you are designated certified and can use that in your applications, resume, etc. A lot of employers pay attention to that so I hear. Anyway, just thought I'd pass that along. I was certified today as a master typist....sounds kind of pretentious, but maybe it will do some good for future work. Who knows?
