MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Experience
We require current experience spanning the last two years as a minimum. At the application stage you will be required to list your experience with time frames.
If you do not have current experience specifically in the medical transcription field, then please do not continue with the application process, as these applications will not be considered.
Software experience is not specifically required, but good internet navigational experience is high on the list as there may be times when this is necessary.
Minimum Computer Requirements
For Emdat InScribe software to work properly within your Windows environment (Macintosh computers are NOT supported by Emdat), you are required to meet the following software and hardware requirements:
You will need a good set of headphones which are comfortable. Remember, you will have them on for several hours at a time. As your listening/hearing abilities are the most important asset you will have, spending money on a good set of headphones will be your best investment.
Foot-pedal
You do not need a foot pedal unless you absolutely cannot work without one. If you have not transcribed previously without a foot pedal, we highly recommend you try the hot keys (F keys) on your keyboard first. Foot pedals are not recommended methods of controlling audio any longer due to the occupational health and safety aspect.
We do not support foot-pedals from a technical aspect, any issues with the software/programs need to be resolved at your own volition.
With a foot-pedal your movements are restricted in that you have to sit in a fairly static position. By using the keyboard, you are able to stretch your legs, move them around and keep them elevated if required, thus avoiding DVT or other medical conditions.
Setting
A comfortable chair, ergonomic keyboard if possible and a private setting in which to work are also requirements for the profession. The work you will be doing can often be highly sensitive and privacy is imperative.
