What type of foot pedal are you looking for? What type of connection - USB or does it have pins?
Foot Pedal Question
Does anyone know why a company would want a transcriptionist to use a serial foot pedal instead of a USB foot pedal?
Alternative to foot pedal
I also can't use a foot pedal due to MS. I went to Career Step and used the keyboard to start and stop tapes. I don't remember what the keys were re CS but now I work for Medquist and use control-space to start and stop tapes. Good luck with the course. RM
Let's say I have the foot pedal and software....sm
...how much, if anything, would you charge me?
They are different kinds of foot pedal. The ones
generally mentioned here hook to your computer, not to a C-phone and they are not interchangeable.
tendinitis from foot pedal
Maybe your chair is too high. Try lowering your chair so that your feet are flat on the floor then you won't have to bend the front of your foot so much in order to push down on the pedal.
I can't operate a foot pedal due to disability is there another way of doing this?

Just received a foot pedal that I need for a job I will be starting...sm
Everyone starting on this new account I was hired for need a Boomerang foot pedal so my recruiter sent them out. I told her that since I work on my laptop I needed a USB but she never responded. When I opened the package it has a 15-pin port. I did a search and it seems that is what is available. Is there an adapter so I may fix this problem. Otherwise, I'm not sure what can be done except letting them know I won't be able to take the position.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Tendonitis in ankle from foot pedal usage
I was so excited to find my first MT job in late February. I noticed right away that my feet would swell a bit after sitting at my desk working for extended periods of time. I just attributed this to sitting to much and didn't think much of it, because if would go away once I got up and moving. Over the last week, my ankles have begun swelling to the point of pain, and the pain is very similar to what I have experienced with ankle sprains in the past. I have been icing it, and this brings the swelling down. The only activity that induces this pain/swelling is transcription. It now appears that I have developed tendonitis from the awkward position necessary for foot pedal usage. Great! Am I the only one with this problem? Does anyone have any ideas for dealing with this. Not using the foot pedal is not an option. I have tried turning the pedal around backwards to force myself to move my ankle in a different fashion. This morning I am trying using my heel without the use of the ankle. The is terrible. I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give me. Thank you.
A USB foot pedal would be good to have. You can download Express Scribe for free to take tests. nm

I just bought a laptop Dell E1505. Your biggest obstacle is the foot pedal as it's a 9-pin serial
port and NO newer computers have them anymore, especially laptops. Also, Escription is not compatible with Windows Vista which also most newer computers come with. I needed a laptop with Windows XP so I went onto Dell and they can "customize" one for you with the XP on it or you can do what I did and 400 dollars cheaper and get it from Ebay. The only thing I noticed was that the new one I got on ebay didnt have Word on it and I had to purchase Word 2003 for that as Word 2007 also is not compatible. Over the last 3 years, I have tried multiple adapters to get the foot pedal to work and finally used one that Escription recommends ..the Dynex DB9 model. I also got it on Ebay for $10 or they can be bought at like Best Buy but they are around $35 I think. There are a few obstacles with Escription and laptops etc.but since I like to travel, I finally got it worked out. I also plug in another keyboard as the laptop one is hard to type on and I like my ergonometer one. Good luck
Medical Transcription/Medical Coding
Hi,
I am a MT and can't find a job or pass employment test. So, I have to take one of the AAMT approved schools this time around and was thinking about Medical Coding but, not sure of this. Does anyone know if Medical Coding is harder than Medical Transcription to pass or is the stress more intense? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Medical Coder or Medical Transcription
I am so confused!! I took a Medical Transcription course and could not find a job and it was not one of the BIG 3. I am about ready to go with M-Tec Medical Transcription School. But, I have been reading post about Medical Coders and now I do not know which to choose. I do not want to make another mistake and choose the wrong school or the wrong career. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Medical transcription is a lot more than just
typing. It depends on your knowledge of the material, how clear the dictation is, your knowledge of the material, how bad the doctor's accent is, your knowledge of the material, the quality of the recording, and, oh yes, your knowledge of the material. It also depends a lot on your knowledge of the material.
getting a Medical Transcription Job
I have taken a Medical Transcription course through PCDI but every job that I have applied for has wanted experience. How do you get experience if no one will hire you? Has anyone else had this problem? Please help...I'm so frustrated with the whole thing!!!
a medical transcription job
I finished a medical transcription class in June of 2005 and worked for a surgeon for 3 months. I was driving far for little hours. Can anyone tell me of a company that hires transcriptionists with very little experience
well, if you want to do medical transcription, then you want to get a job.
to get a job as a newbie is not as easy as you think. Some of the schools partner with companies who will take their newbies, with some additional specific training. So it increases your chances of getting a job - that is, if you want to work for the companies that partner with the school. Otherwise, you may want to go to the community college if they have a certificate program because at least you will have college credit towards your degree for your next job, when MT tanks.
Medical Transcription is
looked upon as a stay-at-home-Mom's dream job. A way to really make a great living while Junior is looking over your shoulder. The advertisements do state that this works very well for family life. Career Step has on the opening page "eliminate daycare". So, do you think that MT's are being mislead? If I had a toddler, I would jump at the chance to learn a way to make money at home all the while raising Junior. JMO.
Medical Transcription

If it is really as you, Older MT, say, then I must say that
Medical Transcription
is just the most ridiculous, frustrating, unrewarding, exploiting, underpaid, disrespecful, unorganized, illogical, etc......
occupation there is.
This isn't even a profession!
Enjoying medical transcription
I have been a medical Transcriptionist for 19 years, and thoroughly enjoy it!
I would be glad to talk with anyone about medical transcription.
Medical Coding or Transcription
I will be applying for online training soon and have noticed that the price of tuition for medical coding and medical transcription are not too far apart. I always thought that there was more opportunity and a higher income for medical transcription. Can anyone with experience in coding tell me how the average salary is for coding? Thank you in advance for any answers on this.
Med Secretary vs Medical Transcription
Your classes may have been excellent. I don't know anything about them. Most courses that teach all sorts of things and a couple of semesters of transcription don't teach what employers need you to know. It's certainly going to be helpfl in a medical secretarial course, but in a transcription job? Maybe, maybe not. You'll know when you've tested with employers, especialy the national employers that need people who can work independently from home.
So the differences would include, what kind of transcription dictaton did you transcribe? Were they quality training reports such as SUM or AAMT? How many of them did you do? If not SUM or AAMT, they probably were read or dictated by DJs or professonal actors, which is not the same as real dictation. That makes huge difference. Did you do hundreds of reports? Were they carefully checked by expert instructors who returned your work with helpful comments and recommendations along with the corrections? If students switched reports with other class members and graded each others' work, that would be another sign that it's geared more for secretarial rather than transcription. That's not bad. It just is intended for a different purpose. Well, let me rephrase that. It may have originally been intended to be a real medical transcription course, but most of those are folding across the country because their graduates are not able to find and keep good MT jobs. They can usually get jobs in small doctors' offices, but are not prepared to work where they are transcribing reports for hundreds of doctors from varying specialties.
the future of medical transcription
I don't know what to think! I see postings saying that this field is on its way out, and I see postings from people who are actively pursuing this field. I was really hoping to get into transcription, but I just don't know what to do at this point. Anyone have an opinion?

My daughter and I were looking at this program where you train from home. They will contract you to work for them when you are finished. The ad says you can make $20 to $25 per hour working for them. It is owned by a lady named Deborah and it looks like they are based in AZ. The cost is $950.00. Any experience with them? All help is appreciated, thanks!
Welcome to the world of medical transcription.
Leave a blank where you can't hear something. Complete the report and then go back again and relisten and see if you can fill in the blanks then. If you get any feedback on blanks save it for future reference. Some docs that have the same physical exam, or same operation talk really fast. Even with a correct copy you may or may not be able to hear each word.
Medical transcription in Canada
You can still train at M-Tec while living in Canada. There are many Canadian students attending there!
AHP medical transcription program
Can someone that has graduated the medical transcription program through AHP tell me how they got through all the reports in section 3? I'm have trouble understanding the doctors with accents. How can I get through them and still keep my good grade?

Future of Medical Transcription due to outsourcing
I am seriously considering Medical Transcription and now wonder if this is the right path to take. I guess there is no way to have absolute certainty, but would like to feel secure about investing time and money in learning the field. I would like to hear from some MT's who are fresh in the field and hear their thoughts. Thanks

Welcome to the world of real medical transcription.
That's what a lot of doctors' dictation sounds like. You have to be able to handle it. That's why it's on the tests.

online medical transcription school
Do you know of any legit online medical transcription school that I can consider ? I really want to do this but seems like all of the schools out there cost an arm and a leg and can not afford to take out so much loan and be in such debt espcially it's not even paying much after I graduate.
Please help me if anyone know of a good, reasonable school I can apply to. Thank you so much.
