 What is a Medical Transcriptionist?
As a medical transcriptionist you will listen to dictated recordings made by physicians
and other health care professionals and transcribe
the information into medical reports, correspondence,
and other administrative material. A transcriptionist uses a foot pedal to pause the recording
while transcribing, and keys the text into a personal
computer or word processor, editing as necessary for
grammar and clarity.
