MARCH 7,2004.
At the age of was 55 and not that sure whether I can learn and earn, I joined to get trained at SSZ Infotech, YMCA, Secunderabad. Believe me that the training course was very interesting, practical; and the Senior Faculties had taken all the trouble to teach us in depth both theory and practicals. Along with the training they conduct weekly tests in theory and practicals to improve our performance. Also they had taken classes in English, communication skills, interview skills. On completion of the training I was absorbed in their company MT production unit, as a Junior MT. I worked for a period of four years with them and then took to Home base transcription. I also did Medical Coding training with them.
Now I am working independently as a Home Based MT HBT from Chennai and earn a substantial amount. Besides me there were eight colleagues of mine who took training and I find all of them are in very high position earning a big salary.

Home Based Transcription Reviews
Medical Transcription as a Home Business
Is Medical Transcription Training Worth The Trouble?
Depending on where you want to go with this profession and what kind of position you would like to hold, the medical transcription training is not nearly as extensive as a Ph. D. Although it is necessary to learn a lot of the medical terminology and be familiar with anatomy and physiology, many times the appropriate medical transcription training can be completed in a short period of time.
At some places, employers look to hire people who have completed postsecondary medical transcription training. This is offered at many vocational schools, community colleges, and distance-learning programs. The best way to get hired or be considered above the competition is to get as much on the job training as possible.
There are a number of things that will be covered in the training that will prepare you for an actual medical transcription job. Some of the most important aspects to the educational process include coursework in anatomy, physiology and medical terminology. Other coursework that may be taught includes legal issues with medical documentation, English, and perhaps the most important, on the job training.
After all of the medical transcription training, it is fortunate that the job outlook for the future is good. In fact, the profession and employment is actually projected to grow in the coming years up to 2020. There will be a high demand for medical transcription jobs because of a constant aging population as our society continues to live longer.
Making A Living As A Medical Transcriptionist
How Much Can You Make?
A lot of people ask me how much you can make as a medical transcriptionist. I have gone from starting right from school making about $500.00 a month. I later had my own transcription company and had others typing for me and made between $2,000 and $3,000 a month.
The more experience you have, the more you will make. The more typing you do, the more you will make. It is up to the individual MT how much money will be made. It will always be low when first starting out but if you keep with it and build up your experience you will be eligible for the higher paying jobs.
A lot of places pay medical transcriptionists by the page, some by the word, and some by the hour. I get paid by the word, so much per 1000 words. Every time I type a word I know I will be paid for it. This is not just typing though, this is medical transcription typing. You need your MT course to be a qualified medical transcriptionist.

Work @ Home – Acusis India
Until recently home-based medical transcription was popular only amongst US based transcriptionists. However it now has a strong foothold in India, and it is good news for those who are looking to complement their income by working from home or even for those who are compelled to stay at home due to personal reasons or family commitments. According to Rajiv Shetye,Vice President, Operations, Spryance India , a leading medical transcription company in Mumbai,” The benefit of home based medical transcription (HMT) is that people can choose to work whenever they want to. The HMT model allows people to include three to four intervals of significant duration within their workday.” HMT is an excellent career option for women in India because it allows them the flexibility to manage their families as well as have financial independence. Shetye says, “Not only does flexibility of this sort allow people,who otherwise get eliminated from the workforce, to become part of it once again, it even engenders entrepreneurship amongst them.That is some advancement, especially since the people that it benefits the most are highly qualified.”
Earning Potential
Transcriptionists who are employed with organisations get fixed salaries. Freshers can earn anywhere between Rs.8,000-15,000 per month.There is tremendous potential for growth in this field. For those who work from home, pay is directly proportionate to productivity. Transcriptionists who work from home are paid on the basis of speed and accuracy. The pay ranges from 90 paisa to Rs.1.75 per line depending on the accuracy. Ananda Sanjeev, (DGM-Operations), Acusis says, “At Acusis, a home based professional working 7-8 hours a day for about 22 days in a month with a consistent transcription quality can easily earn Rs.22,000 to Rs.28,000.Over the years,they can expect their incomes to grow by 14 percent to 20 percent every year from their average earnings.” Some companies require security deposits (of around Rs. 10,000) before you join them. In companies like Infovison, it is refundable after you complete one-and-a-half years of service (including the onthe-job-training). However in companies, which encourage work-from-home, the deposit is most of the times non-refundable, because the company installs a host of licensed software in the HMT’s P.C.
Jenny in Saltillo, Mississippi said: I also make a comfortable living doing MT. I love it. Where else can you do that and sit at home in your PJ’s, go pick up the kids, get dinner ready, etc. I made over $60,000 last year MYathome in Yorba Linda, California :”I am soon to start studying to become an MT and am wondering what a seasoned MT makes for an average wage nowadays?”
Someone who knows in Brownstown, Indiana : Seasoned MTs can make anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000+, depending on how they do the work, i.e., working for some large national MT companies pays the least; working for yourself pays well; working for a hospital pays well, etc. There are many different ways to do the work. You do have to be well trained to make the best money. There is more to your ability to make money than just your knowledge. You need to know that the company you work for WILL have control over your connectivity whether you have the BEST and FASTEST ISP and latest and greatest computer equipment and setup. Remember, the company is in business to make money. Their goal is to get it done as cheap as possible in all aspects.
Escobab in Cape Coral, Florida said: Excuse me but please don’t go about making an absolute fool of yourself by calling Indians “illiterate” on a forum like this one! Indians are where they are simply by the virtue of their hard work, dedication, and resilience…they are definitely better workers than most American fat ladies who are nothing short of snobs and who want to get paid more for doing less or if possible, for doing nothing at all!
Rojo in Grand Rapids, Michigan Honestly, I agree Indians should not be called illiterate, they can’t help that English is not their primary language thus making it difficult for them to properly construct a sentence or even spell properly. But, you just made a fool of yourself for what you said about American workers. We Americans would not have gotten very far if we were what you describe. As for myself, I take great pride in the fact that all my employers, what few there are, have awarded me for my excellent quality work and I continue to produce said work…oh, and I am born and bred American. I produce a quality product and I expect to get top pay for that as should an Indian worker, a Chinese worker, any worker. We have to correct the horrible grammar of the doctors to make them look good, we should be compensated fairly for that.
MTathome in Yorba Linda, California:
There is literally NEVER a shortage of MT jobs. You can work for national MT companies, local MT companies, hospitals, clinics, doctor offices, or for yourself. Go here: www.mtjobs.com/ Click on “Find” next to “All Jobs.” There are hundreds of jobs always available. As for pay, I make a very comfortable living doing MT.
