Medical Transcription Supplies

Aside from a second PC or laptop, the investment you'll need to make in medical transcription supplies is small.

You need two machines in case one crashes while you're working on something with a fast turn around time.

If you only have one computer and can't afford to buy another one right now, you can certainly start with just one.

My husband is a computer geek. He built the PC I'm building this website on. So I've got live-in tech support and I still invested in two laptops. Hey, you can't get paid if you can't work!

You'll need:

  • A transcription foot pedal. Many of the online medical transcription courses provide transcription foot pedals in their course materials so check before you buy.
  • A medical spell checker.

  • Transcription software. Express Scribe, free transcription software is very popular with MTs.

    Express Scribe has hot keys you can use to control the audio speed. But hot keys require you to keep taking your fingers off the keyboard and this slows you down. If you want to build speed, you'll need a foot pedal. MTs are usually paid by the line so more speed equals more lines equals more money.

  • Noise canceling head phones. Most transcriptionists own several pairs. I keep mine in a basket beside my PC so I can switch pairs quickly.

    It's good to have one that plugs into the speakers and one that plugs directly into the computer as this can make a big difference in the audio quality.

    You may also want to have different types. After transcribing for hours in over the ear head phones, it can be refreshing to switch to ear buds.

    As I've said, it's not a large investment. Excluding a back up computer, you could purchase all the medical transcription supplies you need to begin working for less than $200. Less than $100 if you use the free transcription software and choose a school that includes the foot pedal.
