TRUE OR FALSE

 

1.        A transcriber allows a medical transcriptionist to take oral dictation, decipher and encode it, and turn the written words into spoken material.

 

2.       A standard audiocassette transcriber consists of a control base, headphones, and a volume control.

 

3.       If the dictator's speech has a nasal tone, a change in speed may be necessary.

 

4.       Review and cue controls are often found on the foot pedal.

 

5.       Some transcribers have an automatic backspace function, which allows the transcriber to cue a small amount of dictation automatically after stopping the play function.

 

6.       Always play just a few more words than you can transcribe when operating a transcriber for smooth keying of dictation as you take your foot off the play pedal.

 

7.       Most medical transcription facilities use the standard transcriber.

 

8.       Microcassettes are smaller than mini-cassettes.

 

9.       Voice digitization and voice synthesization are one in the same.
