Hello Juan, Regarding your inquiries about the medical transcription field, I hope you don't mind, but I have taken the liberty of forwarding your message to Kathy Melton, the Chair of the Visually Impaired Transcriptionists Alliance and the instructor of the program I am currently taking. She has been a transcriptionist for many years and is blind, herself.I believe she will be able to answer your questions, and may be able to provide you with other related information.

She has spent the last eight years on Dictaphone extext and had great success with it. Now, the hospital she was transcribing for has moved onto a speech recognission based platform, and so her company no longer is able to transcribe for that hospital. She applied to another company, called iMedX, and is having me evaluate the software and determine the route in which she should take in terms of her accessibility needs. This company uses a platform called turboflow with ExpressScribe. Turboflow is a java based software. I have tried to make it work with wineyes using its internal capabilities and also using java4we. I had no luck with either of those. Java4we worked minamalistically. I attempted to use this program with jaws 13, with better luck, but not 100%. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions, solutions, comments anything related to this software, turboflow, or just being a blind medical transcriptionist. I am in ergent need of information so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all. Juan If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
