Fingering is nothing but a term used in typing field to address the skill of typing the contents without looking into the keyboard. A good typing skill is definitely required for medical transcription job. Because in work place you will not have enough time to waste in typing by looking at the keyboard!

Time is money and hence no one will prefer a medical transcriptionist with low speed skills. So guys, try to practice and push hard your typing skill.

Quality
Quality is another pillar in medical transcription. Though you may have essential skill, excellent typing skill, wonderful interpretation skill if you do not have the required quality it is waste.
