Can I use my court reporter skills to work as a medical transcriber or stenoscriptionist?
Yes, many of the skills you learn as a court reporter are directly transferable to the medical transcription business. Obviously, there will be some new vocabulary to learn. However, the speed at which you can transcribe the spoken word will give you a tremendous advantage in getting started in the medical transcription business. The Court Reporter Job Guide provides additional information (compensation, training, etc.) about using your court reporting skills to enter the field of medical transcription.
