A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
How long does it take to transcribe 1 audio hour of dictation? When I started, I was told we should average it as 10 minutes per every hour, but 10 minutes seems low to me now. It would probably take me about 20 minutes to do a 10 minute job today, with proofing and looking up words, etc. Then again, if you are learning something new, that might not be so unrealistic. Just looking for opinions on this from those who have done it. Keep in mind, I would be doing non-medical transcription, which I have never done, and learning a new system as well (FTP). Guess you all figured by now I am thinking about the CLK ad on the job seekers board.
