Medical Transcription equipment

The equipment required to perform Medical Transcription includes a computer, earphones, and a foot pedal (pictured.) The foot pedal connects to the computer and to the software the transcriptionist uses to listen to their dictations. Typically, one presses on the middle of a foot pedal to play the recorded dictation, lifting the foot to stop the playback. The left button on the foot pedal typically rewinds the dictation and conversely the right button will fast forward.
