[The back-of-book CD] includes interesting questions and fun games… A good program to improve my skills as a transcriptionist, as surgical reports can be very complex. – C.S., Medical Transcriptionist; April 10, 2006
The [audio] dictations are varied, both in content and length. I think providing remediation on PDF Answer Keys is an excellent idea. It is not enough to circle or call attention to the error, but the student needs to know why. In my teaching experience… I wished so often that there would be a way to download dictation so students could work from their homes. This is the perfect solution for that problem. I have longed for some way students could work from their homes for a long, long time, and that is one reason I am so thrilled with this course. – Juanita R. Bryant, Professor Emeriti; April 10, 2006
I think this is an excellent Skillbuilder for both the beginner and the seasoned transcriptionist. I was very impressed [with the audio dictation files and answer keys]… they started off with the simplest and increased to more difficult dictators including ESLs. All new transcriptionists need that experience, but it also makes for a good refresher course for the seasoned transcriber as well. – Marcia Stewart, Medical Transcriptionist; April 10, 2006
