I was surprised by how easy this book is to use. I can very quickly find the information I need and get back to work. I love having the AAMT style guidelines at my fingertips!

This book is an excellent reference book for the new and experienced transcriptionist. It is easy to find information and gives all the rules necessary to be an experienced and knowledgeable transcriptionist. I have used this book since 1995 and have found it to be extremely helpful in several areas of transcription.

This is essetial for any transcriptionists or even a company like myself. The industry needs standards and this book gives all of us a guide. Infact, view www.echoscribe.com/careers.asp to see how you can start your own company.

As far as I am aware, there is no alternative to the AAMT Book of Style of Medical Transcription. Fortunately, just about everything you could want on the subject is included in this latest edition, the second version and last word on the subject. It is the standard to which one's transcribed reports will be held. Unfortunately, the latest edition is for some reason not available on Amazon; go to www.aamt.org and search their store to find the 2nd edition of the Book of Style, published in 2002. It's remarkably well updated and improved.To be a transcriptionist one must not simply type the words being dictated. One must format the report so that it is readable and makes sense, preferably very clearly at a glance. The thousands of tips and style points within these covers are necessary to attain that goal. While I may not agree 100% with each of the individual style recommendations made in this book, my few reservations are overwhelmingly outnumbered by the many suggestions that solve problems in my everyday work and help me create the best work I possibly can. The price is not cheap, but no one who seriously hopes to make it in this field can be without this publication.

This book was ordered on the 4th of December. This is now the 18th of January. Why is this taking so long? With today's speed of travel, it will be a long before I order again!!
