What is it?
Medical transcription is the process of listening to recorded clinical dictation and producing accurate, correctly formatted written records, often followed by review and editing.
Medical transcription jobs and work from home
Many transcription roles are remote or hybrid because the work is audio-based. Employers set their own accuracy and turnaround standards, and pay varies by employer, volume and experience.
Speech-recognition tools now draft much of the text, so reviewing and editing for accuracy is an increasingly important part of the job.
Is transcription or coding better for me?
Choose transcription if you enjoy listening and writing. Choose coding if you prefer classification and analysis. See our medical coding page for a side-by-side comparison.
