Does anyone know the best way to break into the General Transcription field? I am interested in giving it a shot, but I am having a hard time finding places that will employ newcomers. Ideas?

I'm a medical transcriptionst. In order to become a transcriptionist you need and should go to school for it. It is not something that everyone can do, it actually can be very difficult. You need to have the ability to sit for long periods of time, type quickly and accurately, have excellent spelling and grammar, plus know medical terminology. I've been doing this for 5+ years and I still learn new things all the time. I'm actually just getting off work right now (930 pm). I went to a local college for a diploma in transcription and it took 2 semesters. There are a few (2-3)really good online medical transcription schools. Transcription is kind of a rough field to get into right now though as tons of it is being outsourced overseas.
