Philips' New Personal Recorders at a Low Price

Philips has released a new series of personal dictation machines that make it easier than ever to dictate digitally, whether you have a Mac or PC. 

Introducing the Digital Voice Tracer...

First off, the 660:

• This recorder is listed for only $99. 
  
• It records exclusively in .mp3 format making it compatible with most all of your audio players. 
  
• Use it as an .mp3 player to listen to your favorite songs.
  

This would make a great gift for the holidays. It is so versatile and easy to use. Take down your notes and carry music with you at the same time. 

The 860:

• This recorder is basically the 660 with twice the capacity. 
  
• And it is all silver.
• The best part is listed for $129. You get 2 gigs of capacity instead of 1 for only $30 more!

The 880:

• This model allows you to record in .mp3 format and .wav. 
• 2 gigs of memory;  142 hours in .mp3/mono.
• 30 hours of battery life on 2 AAA's
• An FM Radio tuner. 

This is, in my opinion, the best deal we have in the entire store. You have an mp3 player, a portable radio, and a personal digital recorder in one small device that will fit easily in your pocket. It is listed for only $149. Pick up one of these great recorders for the holidays!

Medical Transcriptionists Are An Essential Part of Health Care

Medical transcriptionists continue to be an essential part of the health care industry despite all the technological advances introduced to the field. This is due to the fact that computer cannot dictate. Also, voice recognition technology still cannot accurately read the human voice for all spoken words. It still takes a doctor a long time to teach a computer to be able to recognize their speech, and time is something doctors cannot spare. The accuracy and detail required in medical transcription means there will continue to be careers in medical transcription for years to come. 

Digital medical transcription is also allowing many new transcrioptionists to work out of their homes. This is leading to a large increase in MT's around the country. In fact, the medical transcription career field is projected to grow faster than average for all occupations though 2014. 

This increase is also due to the fact that HIPAA regulations require all hospitals to convert medical records to digital format.

Medical transcriptionists are just as much involved in the medical treatment of patients as the doctors are. Accurate medical records are key to a patients success when recovering from an illness or injury. Medical transcription degrees can be obtained by completing courses at a medical transcription school. Once you have completed a degree and gained experience, you can specialize in a specific medical practice in order to improve your chances of increasing your income as an MT.
