When transcribing review of systems are they capitalized? Cardiovascular, GI, GU, etc or cardiovascular, GI, GU etc.
It depends on what account specifics are. - me

For H and P I cap and list them one under the other. For DS I don't cap, and I use paragraph form. If there are no specs either way I would cap.
I am not familiar with the terminology and I want to make sure I have this transcribed correctly. This is what I have, "CT of the head shows an old posterotemporal, intraparietal, and right occipital cerebrovascular accident." Is this correct? ...
I was a transcriptionist for 30 years. I have been away from it the last 4 years, except I am a full time online MT student at an approved school through AHDI. I'm due to graduate in July and get my RMT, then I want to get my CMT. I can't find a job transcribing! Does anyone have any suggestions? Everyone seems to want someone with "recent" experience. I haven't forgotten much after transcribing 30 years and I need a job! Help, please! ...
I'm missing any reports that were transcription. I believe I have all my correction reports listed in statistics. Has anyone else had this problem today? My payscale is low enough, I don't need to be ripped off!! ...
A dictator fed up with a word being repeatedly typed incorrectly (and didn't even exist by the way) by the ILPs, after repeating what he wanted multiple times said: I have now made this clear to the dumbest person under the sun. Please type correctly.
Wow. Guess what, stop letting ILPs type your reports, you may just get things right. Too bad they are making us look bad. ...
This board has some TT posts, some good and some bad.
My questions are:
1) Is it all VR or are there some transcribed accounts?
2) What do they pay; is it per line or per report (Radiology)?
Thanks. ...
Hi all,
When do you proofread your transcribed report? Do you wait until you are finished or do you proofread each section when finished? And, do you ever get faster? I'm afraid if I wait until I'm finished I will not remember things. Also, do you re-listen to the dictation or not? Thanks. Many questions.

A friend of mine who works in a medical office told me this afternoon that they've started getting records that are transcribed overseas. She said the records are done so badly that they can't use them, can't trust that the information in them is correct. When I told her my job may go away soon & be sent to India, she said "it can't!" She said these records are obviously done by people who don't speak English. What I don't understand is how work can still be off ...
When searching for a dictator, I keep getting "No matches were found for the Client Facility details you entered." even when I tried putting in a dictator that dictates a lot. Anyone else having that problem? ...
Any comments on compensation by transcribed time (i.e.$1.25/minute) versus per line (i.e. $.09/65 character line with spaces)? Any actual experience being paid by transcription minute? Advantages/disadvantages? Thanks. ...
My employer has recently gone from straight transcription to VR (using MedQuist's DocQSpeech).
At this point, after 4 months on VR, production is up 11% overall. The employer says they believe it will go up 48% overall (60% for VR lines, no change of course for transcribed lines, 80% of lines VR).
At this point, indeed, at least 80% of lines are VR. (The quality of the VR output, however, is pretty bad.)
We're union, and I'm one of the MTs participating in the wage ...
The dictator clearly dictated a word with an apostrophy following it. The word actually has an accent mark following the last letter, but he specifically dictated an apostrophy. I got it marked as an error.
I don't get it -- it was a verbatim account -- I did what he said - and now it's error.
Frustrated!!!! ...
I have a new client that would like for me to transcribe their reports which I do all the time, so no problem. They would like to send the reviewed/edited letter back to me to either attach and email or fax. Any suggestions on a per letter price? I would not have long distance charges for faxing. Thank you! ...
How is Nuance able to legally justify paying only 88% of typed lines? I am really curious if anyone has any indea how that can be done. They are obviously trying to get transriptionists to leave in significant numbers. There must be some motive we are not seeing. This must be some attempt to get transcriptionists to leave in large quantities. What other explanation could there possibly be? ...
