Just so you can talk the lingo a little go onto Transcription Gear.com and they show what a digital system is and how it works in case that is what they have. If they have tapes you will pick up deliver, transcribe on a transcriber, print, etc. IF they have a call in system you will need some sort of device to connect to their system, C-phone or Lanier which acts like a transcriber after you call in and connect to their server. But first, ask what type of sytem they are using, what you would need to do their work, etc. They might just want someone for overflow but it is a foot in the door, I would not let is slide because I did not know much about systems. Again, do a little research. If it is in-house you will go there.

Without starting a war, how much time is reasonable to spend on reasearch (sm)
when paid by the minute?
I have access to the patient's electronic chart and often use this as a tool to look up doctor names, diagnoses, etc. Often, these charts go back for years. Documents are both scanned into the patient's chart by the physician's office(a 5-page stress test would be 5 separate scanned entries) and typed directly into the patient's chart (a 5-page document would be 1 entry).
We are paid by the minute, no matter how fast or slow the doctor talks. So, if they manage to speed talk, not take a breath, and slur an entire H&P into a 1-minute report, we get paid for a minute's worth of work regardless of typing time.
Having given the above information, what would you consider a reasonable amount of time to spend on research,i.e., looking up "Dr. Smith" with no first name and no specialty or indication why the patient saw "Dr. Smith", or things of that nature.
(I've got my fingers crossed that this does NOT start any type of MT versus QA argument!!!)
Thanks.
