How To Explore The World Of Data Entry

By Daciana Dacre

Thank you for visiting and choosing to read this article, it is a pleasure for me to provide you excellent written materials.

Working as a Data Entry Specialist allows for the employee the opportunity to work from home. Although doing data entry work looks like an easy job, there are levels of difficulty in completing work the employer has set forth to be done.

One of the largest data entry jobs are within the transcription field. A medical transcriptionist transcribes medical reports, summaries and other medical documents. For a legal transcriptionist they may transcribe court records, presentations, and other legal documents. A transcriptionist focuses on dictating audio materials and transcribing it primarily to a computer system. A transcriptionist needs to go through educational training, and pass a certification exam. This helps the transcriptionist to be favorably considered for employment with potential employers.

Although this type of data entry is more involved than other types of jobs, the salary is more desirable than many of the types of data entry jobs. Medical and legal transcription does require the professional to learn and understand terminology associated with the work.

Some of the classes that a medical transcriptionist would take are medical terminology, pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, and other medical skills. For a legal transcriptionist they would take classes focused on legal terminology, financial earnings, reports, insurance documents, legal conventions and other related legal skills.

Two popular data entry specialties are within the medical and legal transcription field. The skills needed to be within this field are to have an eye for detail, able to edit and proofread material that is being transcribed. More skills needed are to have effective communication skills, basic to intermediate computer skills along with knowledge of transcription software, ability to meet deadlines, respectful of privacy for confidential information that is being transcribed. It is important to have a basic common sense, professionalism, as well as be reliable and dependable.

One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be see many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will. ~Rachel Carson

It is good to seek recertification in approximately three years to help stay current in their profession. This also shows how serious the transcriptionist is in the field along with keeping up with the continuous extensive training and specific guidelines. Continuous training helps to stay current and future clients to see the work the transcriptionist has put in with trying to keep up with their career.

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. ~Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864
