Non-medical transcription?

Has anybody left medical transcription at home to become a medical scribe? I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before.

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here.

I answered an ad for U.S. Transcription posted on MT Jobs, was asked to test, and within an hour of submitting my test I was offered a job. After my heart came down from a happy dance at an actual job offer, I found I really have some things to think about before I say yes.

I suppose I need to ask what my expected production would be before ...

I'm fairly new to medical transcription. I received my certification in 2010 and was a little discouraged when applying for jobs and they were all looking for experienced agents to work from home.

Has anyone else done this or know how to get started? Or even know someone who needs a transcription intern? ...

Anyone ever do non-medical transcription? I'm interested to know if you liked it. I tried it for a few days and just decided it wasn't for me. A lot of it was phone conversations and was very hard to understand and I ended up leaving lots of blanks. The pay was bad too and I gave it up today. It was like torture to me to sit and listen to this voice file and one was almost 2 hours long that I did not finish before I quit. Appreciate anyone's input into this. I am feeling ba ...

I quit a job a dozen years ago to jump into the "Work At Home" dream. I had little money, was quite naive, worked from dark to dark with absolutely no help from the small MTSO, who later ripped me off $5,000. BUT, I learned. After my first experience with "running out of work", I just found more work. I got unusually lucky and found a job and was MTing again in a few days. That gig gave me nearly 10 years of working for another small MTSO. I got busy and made tons of mon ...

In 1972 we were clerk-typists paid by the hour. We used IBM typewriters, paper, carbon paper, and white out. We could ask the doctors any questions to help clarify their dictations. We could use the medical reference library to research topics we needed to learn about. We could request patient's chart from medical records to check out any reports we needed. If there was no work, we could go the observation area in the OR and watch procedures or view tapes of procedures to familiar ...
