The days when doctors and other medical professionals would use hand-written notes to record and convey information about patients' health are things of the past.

Medical transcription involves converting medical records dictated by doctors and others into data that can be sent to a transcriber anywhere in the world, who then types it up. The material transcribed includes patient history and physical reports, clinic and office notes, operative reports, discharge summaries, letters, psychiatric evaluations, laboratory reports, X-ray results, pathology reports, and other medical records. These transcribed records are used for archives, reference, or for legal proof of medical advice.

IMedical transcription has become more sophisticated over the years, graduating from the use of simple tape-recorders to various hand-held recorders such as the Pocket PC and the Olympus digital recorder, as well as advanced phone-in systems.

It is estimated that Medical Transcription is poised to make a whooping $900 million turn over by the year 2010. This will provide new jobs to many graduates who would like to make Medical Transcription as their profession.
