I would think the sun's glare would be a problem, sm

to say nothing of the dust blowing around. Computers need to be in low humidity but not too low that you get static electricity. Your C-phone cords and pedal could pose a problem, too. Laptop keyboards are not designed to take the pounding MTs give them. The MTs I know of that use laptops have a regular computer keyboard hooked up to them. This would be a lot of work on a daily basis for you.

Reduce lighting and screen glare
You might need a screen for your computer monitor to cut down on glare, and/or wear the lightest sunglasses you can find or get a new prescription for glare. You can't get rid of them, but this seems to help. Of course being an MT can cause headaches also, lol
you're welcome - actually it's anti-glare screen.
nutso me *l* - it's an antiglare screen *cyberslaps self*  *lol*
17 inch is a good size - they have glare screens

I have had both types of monitors - now both 17 inches but one is a flat screen and one is not.  They do offer glare screens to put over your monitors to cut down on glare which stress the eyes.  I have no problems and been using a computer monitor doing this MT work since 1990, but been transcribing for much longer than that.


Best of luck! 


I bought a glare reducing screen to put on monitor from ebay. nm
