What Is Medical Transcription?
Medical transcription is a process of documenting a patient's medical history. In this process a person has to accurately transcribe records by following the dictation of doctors and others. The transcription done in a particular format includes clinic notes, physical reports, office notes, consultation notes, operative reports, letters, psychiatric evaluations, discharge summaries, x-ray reports, pathology reports and laboratory reports.

How Is It Done?
The medical transcriptionist is provided with a dictation usually recorded over a tape, digital system or voice file. He listens to it through an earphone. While listening, he simultaneously uses a word processing program and a foot pedal for start-stop control. A variety of word-processing systems are also used. If required he also has to use a printer and sometimes a modem.
