Maybe I shouldn’t laugh, since we also outsource our transcription to India. But, I couldn’t help but to chuckle at some of the transcription errors from outsourcing.

I am an editor in a medical trancription company in India and we get files from transcriptionists from the US, needless to say the typo’s you have mentioned are not too great compared to what they type, they type rubbish and rubbish alone, no medical knowledge whatsoever.
Maybe we should chuckle at out own secretaries in the first place. I am an MD and do not want to mention the typos they type. It is far worse than what the skilled indian secretaries type, and furthermore the secretaries in India are paind 1/25 and not as you have mentioned.
I am balasubramanian from Chennai, am very upset about what you have to say about Indian secretaries, I would like to say that everybody makes mistakes and when it is an Indian, you nerds make it more prominent, but if you bozo’s can dictate properly, why the hell would we transcribe properly.
I am T. Karthikeyan from Chennai, I am a transcriptionist, I am paid very low to be giving a second thought to what I transcribe, I just earn 6500 rupees or $150. I would like to say I am grossly underpaid.
this is a test
No testing allowed
UK rulez
who said testing is not allowed. It is allowed anyw ehre
Dont be obsessed with “I”
This is not your site to test it *** off
test your vocabulary first before testing any thing else, cause your brain seems to be dead
Hai, I am sathish from Chennai, India. I should first apologize for the mistake done by my fellow Indian. But one must also take into consideration the quality of audio that we get and payout insecurity by the mediators. This industry, apart from a few good companies, in India is not lokking up due do lack of job security and lack of human resources. So please have all these in mind before any doctor makes a comment on the quality of the Indians on a whole.
Without low-paid transcriptionists all hospitals in the US and UK would go banckrupt. You have to keep in mind that indians are paid at a measly 1/25 of what their counterparts anywhere in the world are being paid. It is high time you people realise it.

What a pity, the indians seem to do a much better job I think, I am from UK as well, but we dont deserve much appreciation either.
Balasubramanian from Chennai is a small boy. He is really very cute and childish. Of all the comments here, I hope he has given a lot more different comment. He should be appreciated for his comment. Coz he deserves it. Known is a drop, unknown is an ocean. By words of Lee.
If we work more, we make more mistaes; if we work less, we make less mistakes; if we dont work, we dont make any mistakes that why I spend a lot of my time browsing and playing games.
US doctors are dickheads.

This is a place to leave ur comments on a topic which is of importane to people. I dont think this is a place to play, this forum is to discuss and learn new things.
If you can see only mistakes and not the positive aspects of anything, leave alone files; Please forget to marry, or you might be a pain in the ass to your spouse, thinking what she would be doing when you are out working.
Try to see the positive aspects of Indian medical secretaries.
Well, think about this–
Underpaid guys here in india slog it out day and night and churn out files 99% accuracy, get carpal tunnel syndrome, get hypertension, which eventually leads to erectile dysfunction, while the **** US and UK guys reap the rewards and **** their wives day long, while we are left with nothing but a dead dick.
Hi all,
We are running an MT unit in Madurai and would like to get some direct cleints for the expansion of our unit. We can handle 2500 line now and can go up to 10000 line in a short period of time. If anyone would like to outsource, please let me know.
