having put 10 years into dong transcrption, I am thinking seriously of studying for certification. However, having looked at the Medword.com.com site, I don't see anywhere to ask this ?: are all tapes the regular cassette size or can they be purchased in "micro" form? I hate the idea of spending money on another transcriber....

Hi,

You might want to start by going to www.aamt.org and getting the sample test. I think you might be able to download it. There are also study products available on the site--I think they can be purchased on micro cassette now, not sure.

I am the certification connector for my local AAMT chapter--I don't know a lot, but if you have any questions, let me know!

Hello bacardistuff:

Medword.com does sell tapes that you may purchase in "micro" size. You can find more information regarding "mini," "micro, or digital sound files on "CD" for practicing your transcription, at the following pages:
