TRANSCRIPTION TIPS AND HELPFUL HINTS

For medical transcriptionists, here is an useful Google custom search engine that searches just medical sites. Some of you may know it as Google for MTs.

Google Custom Search - Medical Transcription Word Seeker

Try it out and compare it with normal Google search. The difference is it keeps out non-medical data from cluttering search results.

This is an awesome link, thank you. It's bookmarked for the next time I have to do a hospitalist roundtable on the use/non-use of clopidogrel. Gracias.

For transcription services, I used Pacific Transcription. Great company if you're located in Australia.
