How to Use a Transcriber

The need for the use of a transcription machine increases as a new business develops, the mission of an organization changes, or business growth dictates the requirement of a hard copy log of the company’s transactions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Follow proper training for using the transcribing machine. Training that is available with the purchase of a transcriber machine, either online or in print, can be requested from the manufacturer.
2. Prepare to start transcribing the dictation by placing the headphones on your ears and familiarizing yourself with button and key locations on your machine.
3. Insert the audio recording with the dictation to be transcribed into the tape deck.
4. Position your fingers on the transcriber keyboard in the “ready” position. This should be with your fingers covering “a, s, d, f” and “j, k, l, ;” keys.
5. Locate and press the “play” button on the transcription machine. As the tape begins to playback, begin typing the dictation into your system.
6. Press the “pause” button as necessary during playback time to repeat or rewind the audio recording or to make any other necessary adjustments while you are typing.
7. Rewind the tape at the end of the transcription session. Remove the tape to avoid tape-over and store it for future reference if needed.

Tips & Warnings
