This is done mainly by stenographers...

aka CART (computer-aided real-time transcription).  The same is true for closed captioning.  The software and equipment for this is very costly compared to that of MT, plus you need to learn the steno language just like a court reporter.

I would really love to learn how to stenotype when doing medical transcription.  Can anyone recommend a good on-line course or website to get me started?  Also, if there are any of you here that are medical stenographers, would you mind telling me what kind of productivity I can expect once I learn the keyboard?

I took ShortHand in highschool, but I won't say how long ago that was.  LOL

Thank you!
