A transcriptionist is not just a typist, but has many special skills, which make him a good professional. In this article, we will discuss about some of the specific skills and qualities that a transcriptionist should have in order to deliver quality work and have a strong client base.
The transcriptionist should be able to transcribe every word accurately. In fact, he must also understand colloquialisms and place punctuations at the proper place so that the inflections are captured. The transcriptionist should have in-depth knowledge of technical terminology as may be required in many transcription jobs. For instance, in digital transcription, the transcriptionist should have a thorough knowledge of the medical vocabulary and the abbreviations used in the medical field. The transcriptionist should have very strong typing skills as well to be able to deliver an entire transcript, even in few hours, if the client so demands.
