No special headphones are needed. Any will do. You could plug them into

your speakers if they provide a jack or into the sound card. There is

pedal and software support that will plug into your computer and playback

the sound file just as a transcriber would. I am sorry I do not know the

site that offers it. Or you could rerecord the dictation to your tape

transcriber using the same jack you would use for the headphones.

Pkzip is a dos program used to compact the files for transfer. Winzip is

the windows shareware version. Both are easy to learn and use.

I assume that they would want you to have software that does the line

counting and billing. It seems to me they are starting to ask for more than

they are willing to pay.

On the other hand soap notes are usually no brainers and I would say by far

the easiest notes to do, given you can understand the dictator.

That depends on how bad you need the work. Sometimes it is worth the

gathering of the " experience " you may need to land a better job/account in

the future.

Yes you should. I started out in Gastroenterology and went on to work for

two nationals. I would say go for it!!!
