How unique your MT course is?
We have prepared book of 10,000 words (A-Z) in Medical Transcription.  You have to read daily 50 to 100 words and you have to see meanings with pictures in Electronic Medical Dictionary (this we will provide), it will be very easy for you to understand the medical terminology and while dictator is dictating medical words, you can imagine what is going on in the file.  We will also give lot of images of medical procedures and anatomy.

What are the requirements for enrollment?
No medical background is necessary however; a good spelling/grammar aptitude is a plus.

Eligibility: 18 to 60 years with good written English skills.  Housewives, VRS Individuals, Students, Dentists, Nurses, Pharmacists, Doctors, Science Students (Bsc, Msc), English Graduates, etc, can apply.

On average, how much can a medical transcriptionist earn?
3500 to 30,000.  Salary depends on the experience, application of knowledge, and typing skills.

What is the earning potential in Home Based Medical Transcription ?
Normally an employer pays approximately 1.10 to 1.30/- per line in India i.e., 65 characters of client acceptable quality.
By utilizing the typing speed, skills, techniques available, an MT with just 6 months of experience can produce an approximate 400 to 500 lines; this estimates to an average earning of Rs. 450 to 600 of 8 hours work per day.  Multiply this amount @ a month; this is the earning.

Do at home transcriptionists receive any type of benefits?
Working at home is actually a benefit in itself. Because you work out of your home this can mean a substantial savings. This savings can consist of day care costs, clothing expenses, traveling expenses, meal expenses, and even time that is taken unpaid. As for benefits themselves, over the past few years many companies are now offering medical benefits, paid time off, pension plans, life insurance, etc. So all in all, being a transcriptionist can be very, very lucrative.

Do you offer job placement assistance?
Yes, we do offer job placement and we will also give assistance to get job in outside organizations also.  We will send updates to your mail about job placements from day one of your joining in this course.

Do you feel that voice recognition programs will eventually replace medical transcriptionists?
Definitely not. Because this field is so technical and ever changing, it is pretty much impossible to encompass the whole medical profession on any type of software. Also, many physicians are ESL physicians (English as a second language) thus making use of this software almost impossible. I honestly don't see our jobs in any kind of jeopardy in the near future because of this software development.

What is the future of the medical transcription industry ?
The need for medical transcriptionists is increasing everyday.  There are very less number of trained MTs available right now in India.  The ratio of trained MTs available and MT related jobs available is 4:10.  To fill this gap, speech recognition utilities have emerged and it looks as if a large number of MTs will be out of their jobs, but that is not the case.  With the use of speech recognition utilities (SRU) MTs can progress in their careers to the levels of editors or proofers for the typing part of the job is eliminated.

How to execute work from home?
You need to have PC and net at home. We will provide all the softwares, CDs, books, weekly modules, foot padel software, etc, to execute the work from home MT job.

Any certificate will be issued after completion of course?
The accuracy that is required out of an MT is 100%.  Certification in MT does not carry any value without this accuracy.  Quality is the key.  Hard work pays off for sure, you also need to work smart and that is what we invoke in our students.  You will receive a training certificate from us after completing the course successfully.
