Why do individuals and Companies require a transcriber?
• Dictating records with the help of a medial transcriber is far easier than typing everything themselves. Moreover creating dictations and hiring someone else to transcribe the audio saves on time, when they have other things they need to be doing.
• It is not everyone’s cup of tea to have the speed and accuracy in typing that medical transcribers have. Even a minor mistake on part of the typist can result in future problems on part of the company or the employer. This makes it very much important to have a professional medical transcriber rather than a hiring a part timer.
• Apart from typing down the recorded audio or video dictations a medical transcriber can also be used to fill in patient records, provide the necessary information to board members or in court of law as evidence or record keeping.
