A transcriber is the machine that plays a dictated report through a set of headsets. The headset fits over the head somewhat like a headband with two little round plugs you plug into your ears. There is a foot pedal that usually has three sections. The middle section when pressed by your foot continuously “plays” the transcription report as it was dictated by the doctor. The right pedal would rewind to a previous spot. The left portion of this pedal would fast forward the report. The transcriber machine sits usually near your typewriter. It is a fairly small piece of equipment that resembles an ordinary tape player/recorder. There are buttons on the transcriber to play fast forward, rewind and open the compartment where you place the tape of physician dictated reports.

When I think of all the mistakes I’ve made in my business (some small and some not-so-small), it’s important to remind myself that “perfect” doesn’t equal more successful.

I’ve observed that one of the main things that keeps people from marketing themselves is fixating about “getting it right.” But this is where the famous popular sneaker phrase pops up, because it seriously is about jumping in and doing “it” and by that I mean ANYTHING. Just get moving. It’s better to do it wrong than not do it at all. At least the marketing energy is moving.
