In medical transcription there is audio recording of doctor's dictation. So MTs wherever the audio is fast or not clear can repeatedly rewind and hearand understand what the doctor is saying. But in' virtual medical scribe' job there is no such facility. They have to listen and visualise the real time conversation. So it is very difficult. Usually conversations go on in a faster pace. One can understand how the conversations are fast by seeing hollywood movies. After seven years of experience in MT industry I am still unable to understand the conversations in hollywood movies even 25%. Only native speakers can understand it fully. So it seems me "virtual medical scribe" job is very difficult and there is no way to sharpen the understanding skills.
