Home based medical transcription

Home based medical transcription - Pre requisites :

Companies prefer candidates with experience of at least 18 months. However, talented freshers can get in, provided they do well in the test. The candidate must be a degree holder (preferably in science), excellent English comprehension, good listening skills, and should have fast typing skills.

The candidates are put through an initial screening test followed by a comprehensive editing and language test. Successful candidates go live after a week of professional training after which the payment starts. The candidate has to keep abreast of the latest 'Americanisms' and medical terms. A mis-spelt word can cause more damage than offending the professional sensibilities of a grammarian � it could cost somebody his life.

Home based medical transcription - Payment :
Transcriptionists who work from home are paid on the basis of speed and accuracy.� The pay ranges from 60 paisa to Rs.1.25 per line depending on the accuracy.
