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?

Scoping: Legitimate and Lucrative [2008-06-06]
Hello, All.
Someone sent me this link, and I wanted to give you some information -- straight from the horse so to speak -- to assure you that this is definitely *not* a scam, and *is* very real.
I have been involved in the scoping field for 25+ years, and have been a scoping training consultant for a little more than 20 of those years.
Scoping is a marvelous at-home career, and I say that as someone who started out as an MT, and then began applying my medical skills in the areas of medical malpractice and environmental impact litigation, right from home and working in the court reporting field.
Scoping is still something of an underground occupation in that many people never heard of it. But court reporters *have* heard of it, and they're the ones you'll be working for.
We started hearing, when I first started in this field 25 years ago, that computers would take over and we humans would be out of a job. Now I ask you: Have you ever met a computer program that can think like a person? I The human element is still very much needed in this field, and people earn from $15 to $30 an hour editing for court reporters.
I offer a free video webcast to people exploring scoping, to let you see what scoping is all about (including a demonstration of the specialized software we use in this field), and how my rapid e-learning course for scoping works. It's all done in PowerPoint/Flash modules, with backup written materials in .pdf files.
Feel free to e-mail me and request a link for the informative scoping webcast:

Scarry!!! Docs and nurses entering drugs and dosages into online charts. (sm) [2008-05-08]
Most of my docs cannot spell medical terms. They can The nurses are for the most part useless - no ARNP I ever asked could help me with a medical term.
I just spoke to my HMO. They are now offering personalOnline-charts showing
visits, tests, immunizations, etc. of what you personally had done.
I asked EXACTLY HOW DOES THIS INFO GET INTO THE SYSTEM, at what point?
The woman said: It is input by the doc and the nurses.
I shuttered!
There goes the end of quality health care as we used to know it!

Legal Transcription Job Search? [2007-09-25]
I have been a medical Transcriptionist for 12 years and I am currently taking course towards my Bachelors in paralegal studies. I am interested indoing legal transcription or work in legal field to help me learn more towads my new career. Where do you search for jobs or best to send out a flyer to local legal offices about your services you offer?
Looking for work [2007-09-16]
I have recently completed a Medical Transcription course and I am looking for work. Anyadvice on where to look would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all help
This might sound like an odd [2007-06-01]
question, but are you certain that your friend understands her diagnosis completely?I have a friend who told me that the doctor gave her 2 years to live because of some problem with her liver. It turns out that she was just in a bad emotional state when she went to her doctor and did not really comprehend what she was being told. She assumed the worst. She has no medical background at all so she was easily confused.
I would wonder if your friend is mistaken. I hope, for her sake, that she is. I would suggest she get another opinion.
MT & court reporting are WORLDS apart [2007-05-23]
Having studied both court reporting and medical transcription, I can tell you that they are worlds apart. Court reporters learn 'machine shorthand' and by using this and their steno machine, they can 'type' 200+ wpm. They type in syllables and entire phrases or sentences, not by single characters as we do in MT.
Actually, people who edit for MT and court reporting actually have more closely related jobs. Check out www.scopists.com Some court reporters type in Real-Time, and the people who scope for them just basically clean up their work, fix missed strokes, etc. There are also people who 'translate'/type the machine shorthand, which is much more detailed and takes a lot more studying/schooling. Another site to check out is StenEd for resources and reference materials.
You could, of course, always apply to be a legal secretary and type in a law office. :D
HTH!
Legal Transcription [2007-04-19]
I have done legal transcription for five years in the past. It is much easier to me than medical transcription. Once you learn the legal terminology thaton the job. There are paralegal courses.
Legal transciption [2007-04-18]
Yeah, I've been wondering as well. How far apart are medical and legal transcription and court reporting/transcription? If you can do one, do the rest fall in place with a little training?
Good question [2007-01-17]
I'm a retired police officer think maybe I would prefer legal transcription over medical
Legal transcription [2006-12-24]
I am a medical Transcriptionist and have done legal work. I am transcribing something now that will be admitted to court. I sure hope Ialter my transcription.
Happy holidays and thanks for your input. A little nervous about this one as I'm doing it on a trust basis.
transcribing ver batim "F" word sm [2006-12-16]
Transcribing a legal document from dictated material. The dictator is using the F word bomb, not that often, but it is a part of his complaint about language used on him. Iexpletive used. If it's verbatim, I think I owe it to the client to get his word across. What do you think? I am going to ask the same question on the other board, although it will apply to general medical transcription. I have been told in this case I may use quotation marks. Anyone else been in this dilemma?
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.

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!
