Handheld Digital Recorders

If you are a Medical Transcriptionist, you no longer can afford to ignore the slow but sure move away from tapes as a medium used for recording dictation. Although many, many physicians are still using tapes to record their dictation, it becomes more obvious daily that there also are more physicians using handheld digital recorders to hold their dictation. There are obvious benefits to using the digital format for recording such as: being able to use a small handheld digital recorder; larger capacity recording time due to the various, but similar, types of storage methods used; better features on voice recorders such as separate directories, so, for instance, urgent dictation, chart dictation, personal dictation, medico legal dictation, etc., may be separated for ease of access. The audio quality is usually superior to tapes.
