Know your Dictation Equipment: Make sure you
have read the manual once when using a new microphone.
Make sure there is little or no background
noise when recording on the microphone.
Keep silent gaps of a couple of seconds at the
start and end of each recording to avoid the voice being clipped during
processing.
Always state the full name and contact
information of the patient, date and time of the interaction being
captured for better offline reference.
Spell out Medical Terms to make sure they are captured properly,
this is a must in case of manual transcription.
Do not use slang or short forms unless...
