How do you learn or train for general transcription?

There is no formal training required for general transcription. You can learn general transcription yourself and practice.

One way to train for general transcription is by transcribing anything you hear. Transcribing regularly will help you build speed and acquire an ear for transcription work. Practicing transcription will also help you become familiar with using transcription playback software. Using a foot pedal allows hands-free typing and improves your speed and efficiency instantly.

Your typing speed and transcription speed will improve with practice. The more you type and transcribe, the faster you’ll get.

Accuracy is important so focus on typing as quickly as possible without errors. You can use free online typing tutorials and typing tests to improve your typing speed and accuracy.Your transcription speed will keep increasinggradually until you reach your ideal speed.

New transcriptionists are often looking for free audio files to practice transcribing.  Using transcription practice files is just one of the many ways for new transcriptionists to practice transcription.  In addition to practice files, there are many other types of audio files you can use to practice transcription skills.

With a little creativity, you’ll find many ways to practice transcription.  You can transcribe your own voicemail messages, answering machine messages and Skype recordings.  You can record and transcribe television programs, TV interviews and radio interviews and conversations.

There are many online sites where you can find different types of audio files you can practice with.You can download and transcribe online seminars, teleseminars and podcasts from the public domain.  You can download podcasts from podcast.com to practice transcription and get familiar with different kinds of accents.

Several web sites provide practice transcription files you can use to practice transcribing.  Some sites provide free practice files while other sites sell practice files. Just do a Google search for “transcription practice tapes.”

The NCH web site provides sample audio files you can use with the popular free Express Scribe transcription playback software. Transcribed PDFs are provided to check your finished transcription against. The NCH sample audio files are legal and medical transcription files but you can use them just as well to practice general transcription. Just don’t worry about the legal and medical terms.

You can download practice transcription files and free Express Scribe transcription software at http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/practice.html.

Before testing for transcription jobs and applying for your first transcription job, practice transcribing anything you hear and make sure that your transcription skills are up to speed.

There’s a lot to learn if you want to be a medical transcriptionist. It’s a job that requires a very specific skill set. And while you may need to learn additional skills and terminology for particular specialties within medical transcription, there are some things all transcriptionists should learn from a quality training program.

1. Human Anatomy

You won’t be seeing patients, but you need to understand human anatomy. The doctor’s dictation will refer to various body parts, and knowing anatomy helps you to ensure that you aren’t confusing similar terms. If it sounds as though the doctor said one term, but it refers to a body part other than what the rest of the report is dealing with, you know you need to listen more carefully or flag it for clarification.

2. Medical Terminology

Much of the terminology in medicine is quite specialized. Much of it comes from Latin, and learning prefixes and suffixes will be a huge help in improving your vocabulary and in being prepared to learn new terminology as it comes along. Knowing the terminology allows you to know what the doctor is talking about in his dictation. There’s much more to transcription than just transcribing what you hear, but if you don’t understand the terminology, you won’t even be able to do that.

3. Medical Transcription Style and Formatting

Medical reports have very specific style and formatting rules for different types of reports. AHDI has a Book of Style which is the most commonly used style guide in the industry. Individual accounts may have some variations on the standard styles you’ll have to learn, but for the most part you will only need to follow the standard rules set forth in AHDI’s Book of Style.

Correct styling and formatting make it easier for doctors to review patient records and treat them appropriately. They do not want to search the report for points they should be able to find quickly.

4. Drugs and Treatments

This is the area that has new information to deal with most often. You will regularly come across new drugs and treatments even after you’re trained, because new ones are developed all the time. Just think how many commercials you see on television for new drugs. And those are just the ones that get advertised!

This is also an area with some of the greatest traps. Many drugs have names that sound similar to completely different drugs, and brand names are often similar to generic names. You need to get these exactly right. This will be a challenge with some doctors.

5. Legal Issues

The main legal concern most medical transcriptionists deal with is HIPPA, which protects patient privacy. You need to pay careful attention to these requirements, and have your work computer carefully secured and private, not only from others in your house, but from viruses and other sorts of malware. You must use a secure connection to download reports and return transcripts.
