in this job you will get some tapes about medicin prescriptions from some ENGLISH doctors from USA..etc which u have to type them and send them... the tapes may be audios recorded at their clinics or hospitals which are send via mails and u have to download them from your email and send your response as the text mesg... this is what i have learnd from one of my friends.. the job is pretty easy but the only problem is their speech which is somewhat difficult to understand if ur a newbie...

A medical transcriptionist is a medical language specialist who interprets and transcribes dictation by medical professionals. This dictation covers pretty much everything that takes place between the health care provider and the patient. The information is recorded either into tape or onto digital voice processing systems. The process of medical transcription is transferring this information into a document.

Hello! Medical transcription is a job oursourced by the US. It is dictated by the doctors in a tape sent to you through email which you have to encode. But you have to study a short course about medical transcription to be one. The course usually ranges from 1-9 months, depending on your knowledge on the medical field
