Please, only respond if you are a medical transcriptionist or have knowledge about this career.
How long do you think is going to take for transcription jobs to be obsolete, as a result of high technology.
A little considered about my job security since I am a Medical Transcriptionist and doctors are just starting to transcribe into a machine that produces the report on the screen and we just have to go in and listen to the report and edit it versus having to listen to the dictation and transcribing the whole report and now doctors are starting to self edit – YIKES.
I am going back to school to get a new career as a backup plan.

I tried Medical Transcription for about a year…I worked as a subcontractor. I feel there is no money in it at all. The company I did work for, I asked the same question as yours. They thought some doctors would chose the newer tech way within 10 years some would do the switch but they also said their doctors would not change. Not sure about that….So I switched gears and
I partnered with a company and have been very pleased with them. I love being able to work from home, Plus they are members of the BBB which was important to me with all the scams out there.
I don’t have to Stock Inventory or sell products nor do I have to take orders, deliver anything or get stung with bad checks when making collections … Did that in the past, NOT again!
If you want more information about them I would be happy to share. Just send me an email and let me know.
It just might give you the options you are looking for
