I will endorse the views expressed by the themt10@gmail.com and jutamaro.  Newcomers who are looking to enter into medical transcription training and dreaming of doing home medical transcription should think a thousand times before joining such home MT courses.  Fees once paid will not be refunded.  Lots of people are losing their money by joining such courses.  I joined a Bangalore based home MT training institute and completed the course but they failed to provide job after successful completion.  Then they referred me to Andhrascribe.  I again spent some money for that but they failed to provide any job.  Then I joined a small company for peanuts of 3,000/month (there no full time work, work only up to 1 pm).  after 3 months that company closed and they did not pay 1-1/2 months salary and disappeared.  With that experience I joined a big MT company and they paid peanut of 3,000 Rs/month initially and after 6 months experience they pain 8000/month.  After completion of one year in that company when I asked for home transcription they declined.  I then joined a small company which gave limited amount of work with 6000-7000/month.  After 8 months that company stopped giving work to home MTs.  Then I wandered companies in search of home transcription.  Then I joined a medium sized company who are gave 10,000/month.  After completion of 4-1/2 years in that company of home transcription work also they are paying on line count basis within 12 to 14,000/month only.  I have total 6-1/2 years experience still no use.  Dictations are very tough and not possible to make more than average 500 lines per day and line count rate is 0.95/line.  This is the fate of home transcription.  My advice is that do not join home MT course in a hope that it pays 30-40 thousand Rs/month as described by advertisements.  This is a field of slavery of foreign nationals.

when companies are badly in need of MTs, they provide good environment to new MTs.


Otherwise, all companies including small and big trouble even senior MTs, usually home-based MTs with bad authors, not providing lines, late salary.  There is no limit for this.

Transcription has changed over these years significantly.  Everybody agrees that age old class room training do not provide good exposure.  Evaluate new online MT training and comment.
