that is rude of you to type that.
I'm sure that is why you did not post a screen name. Worried people may start screening your typos too.
If you don't absolutely know it, don't type it.
Blank it. Don't just type what you hear. Know what you are typing.
average MT can type 200 LPH...but...nm
With these new online programs, post DOS programs where we really cleaned up, that has dropped for some to between 130-175 LPH....A great MT should be able (pre online programs I do believe, my opinion only) to type nearly 2000 lines in an 8-hour period or 10-hour period. If I could do that on DOS programs, anyone could, and privately I still work on a faithful DOS program and for 10 years.
Decades of typing pre MT work helped and then 25 years of doing MT work is what makes some of us pros. 
Go to rxlist.com and type in what
it sounds like to you. They will have a list come up with any drugs that s/l what you typed in and it lists what they are for and generic names if appropriate. If you can't hear but the ending of a drug - for example "illin" is all you can make out type in *illin and it will list all drugs with that ending and maybe you can figure out the rest that way. If ever in question never guess on meds.
A lot of times new drugs may not be on rxlist, in which case you have to google, but be sure you have a reliable source as there is a lot of garbage and misinformation on google.
I have Quick Look on my computer and it is very helpful. There are so many drugs, some you will have frequently and some that you may have once a year or so, and then new drugs are added all the time.
You'll get better with practice, but you'll have to do a lot of looking up in the meantime.
When I go to the drugstore I walk up and down the aisles and look at products on the shelf. At the pharmacy if I am able to see meds from the counter I look at the names. New meds usually have ads in magazines and on TV and I make notes about them.
diabetes mellitus (cap or not?) type 2.
Is the word "type" capped?
thanks
type 2 is correct, no caps
x
What type of education did you get? What did you study?
??
Please don't type in all caps, it comes across as yelling. (SM)
You might get more responses if you downplay the tone a bit by that one simple change.
Goldbird
Their website looks like a school of some type. sm
Were you offered a job, or are they trying to sell you a training course in MT? If the latter, I wouldn't take it. I don't see anything on their website about hiring transcriptionists.
I'm like you, type, then go back and relisten. I used to just
read but kept falling asleep. I just turn the speed up several notches and relisten and it isn't so bad. I actually am sometimes able to get a blank with the speed up that I couldn't when I played it several times at regular speed.
what type of reports are you typing?
I do alot of psyche and some of my reports range from 150-450 lines per report. So when you look at it like that it is not bad. On the other had if you are doing radiology that would be totally different. Again some of mines average from 15-30 lines. That is with a 65 character line.
It depends on what type of work (sm)
you intend to do. I would personally choose Multispecialty. You will learn the most there as far as variety and that will be a good base for you moving forward. Radiology is also good, but if you go that route you will limit yourself in terms of what jobs you can apply for. So, it might possibly be easier now for testing purposes, but it could cost you later on.
Freedom Type? Information?
Does anybody know anything about Freedom Type? Is it a good place to work, pay well, give newbies a chance, etc.? Let me know. Thanks.
Type, obviously, not taype, but at least it's just a TYPO. nm

no the word type after diabetes mellitus....nm
/
A specialty usually refers to the type of dictation
For example, cardiology, neurology, GI, hem/onc..... I have seen where some MTs just transcribe ER or just OPs, so I guess that application you filled out is strictly acute care and are looking for actually your preference amongst those particular choices.
It depends on what type of General Transcription
Focus groups can be hard because there are multiple speakers, speakings talking over one another, background noise, etc. Some is just one person speaking which can be very easy. I once did a motivational speaker. The pay is usually by audio hour. The best thing I like about general transcription is that a lot of companies don't have production requirments. There are a couple companies that if they have work for you, they'll ask you if you can do it and if you can't that's fine. I guess it's whether you like that type of work better than MT. Also, when doing focus groups some are specialized and there's another whole type of terminology to learn which can be just has hard.
LMAO, thanks everyone for your comments, maybe we type too fast and are not looking at the screen,LO
Or maybe we just like to irritate the ol MT's with spelling mistakes. LOL
Easy or not will depend totally on the type of dictators
s
First of all, there are so many variables...work type, formatting, platform, etc. SM
It is possible to make that kind of money, but I would not expect that for a long, long time. Making money depends macros, focus, work type, pay for lph, not having to look things up (for me its drugs), stuff like that, but most of all be persistent. I have never made $40,000, but I know people who do.
Short for waveform.....type of sound file.
xx
it is a type of internet connection faster than dialup but still uses a phone line
but you can use your phone and be online at the same time.
Just type what you hear. Lots of things are repeated in differnent notes.
s
Usually the type of software - eScription, ExText, ChartScript, Crescendo, Fusion,

I went to school back in 1971 to be an MT and if I would have had my internship that they offered back then to work during the summer months (as it a was 2 year college), I would NEVER have finished my second year of school to be one. Been doing this about 35 years and my pay has been torn in half compared to 1987 salaries. Even working part time, don't think you would ever get a paycheck that would be worth anything.
And if you are doing this to stay home with kids, how do you expect to work as an MT with the headset on trying to figure out ESL doctors and watch the kids too? This profession is definitely not worth it anymore, and if you are still young enough to go back to school, RUN, RUN, RUN and sign up for something else.
Check out Andrews and M-TEC if you want the best-nm

Reality check
When HIPAA went into effect that fateful October, the AMA did a survey and less than 50% of physician practices had any HIPAA compliance practices in place or had started preparing them. That is a fact. In the private office setting, the office can include anything they wish into their compliance notification their patients sign and their patients have the option to opt out of whatever sections they don't want to participate in. That is a fact.
It is personal preferences in complying with HIPAA regulations, not just for the MD but for the patient. That is a fact.
Reality check.
You may think you are a great MT or can be, but experience is not something you can fake. I have no idea if you are new to MT or not, but if you are trying to break into the field and plan to lie about your experience it will show and it will show in every aspect of your job. I know for a fact my company checks references and many companies do. Posting such a question is just galling. What kind of work ethic is that?
Check the archives
I recommend you go to the MQ board - they have their own, you know - and read the archives. You have to punch an "e time clock" and work exactly your schedule. Seems they frequently run out of work, and have to make up that time from their personal time. However, they may be more likely to hire a newbie than another national. Happy reading!
I agree - definitely check out M-TEC! nm

check what is required before u
take the exam. For myself, I did not take any exam at all and had been doing med transcription for more than 3 years now. I did, however, took a course as my background was engineering. If you are just new in this career, most companies will require a formal training. The fact that a lot of MTs are competing for jobs, you would be better off with a formal training (just like any other career). I hope this helps.
Could try RMT w/less than 2 yrs exp. check w/AHDI

Check with your school and see if
Spell Check
Try to avoid using a medical spell checker while you are in school, but always use regular spell check. For employment testing, use both.
For troublesome medical terms you might consider creating an alphabetic electronic word list.
Website is ahdionline.org
Please check out the classifieds
board to see my newly listed item please. I think many of the new MT's or students will find it quite helpful. Thanks!

check with local hospitals
I contacted a local hospital (SW Michigan) and was told that they hire MT students and graduates. But they also said that all you really need is physiology, medical terminology, anatomy and typing skills. Seeing how you have a strong medical background, you might want to check into something like that.
