Medical transcriptionists create a variety of reports, accurately translating information from a patient’s appointment or procedure from oral (dictation) to text (transcription). Patient histories, physical, consultative, and operative reports or discharge summaries are just a few examples.
They type out or edit speech-to-text generated reports, edit, and proofread reports for accuracy, clarity, and correct grammar.
