What are the Medical transcription equipments required ?
A computer. The computer's configuration varies with which
account you are working for. Some accounts requires high conifiguration
while others require only just low configuration.
Internet connection. Offline accounts can be done with
dial up connection while most online work requires broadband connection.
For offline work, voice files can be downloaded and internet connection
can be disconnected until you need to
download files again or upload the completed document. Usually all the
required voice files are downloaded
together, so that internet can be disconnected. But broadband is always
faster to download voice files.

problem doing online work. Now a days
because of increasing concern for security and privacy of documents and

drive. So the system needs to be on and even the internet
connection.
