Law Transcription Services

In response to the growing demand of clients who want their cases settled quickly out-of-court, there are many more law transcription services available.  Law transcription services are now used by police departments, lawyers, various industries, corporations, individuals, and the court system.  This means that legal transcription is needed for taped interviews, wire taps, depositions, suspect interviews, witness statements, meetings, court proceedings, and any taped conversations that have to do with a case.  Because this taped evidence isn’t easy to distribute, law transcription is necessary to make sure that all parties have hard copies of all legal proceedings involving their case.

Free Medical Transcription Software | Medical Transcription Software Critiqued | Transcription Software

Free medical transcription software in the form of medical spell checkers is also helpful to the medical transcriptionist.  Obviously, if you are transcribing medical records that involve new FDA approved drugs or complicated surgical procedures, you will quickly find that many of the words are not in your spell check or even in a standard dictionary.

Since you are transcribing from an audio recording, there isn’t a way to get a correct spelling if you are not familiar with a medical term.  Because medical transcription software like free medical spell checkers are online, they are updated periodically and can be downloaded as medical terminology evolves.  This kind of medical transcription training software is also compatible with most word processing programs, including Microsoft word.

Towering Malaysian of yesteryear

It is interest to read about Malaysians and Singaporeans of the Merdeka generation. They have ideals of a democratic and socially just country that looks after the welfare of the people. Read this story to learn about what are these ideals.

In the mid 1970s, I visited Skrine & Co in Kuala Lumpur on a legal matter. I met James Puthuchery. I knew at that time that he was exiled from Singapore, but did not know his background or his beliefs. It is nice to read about the ideals of this person, more than 35 years later.

One angry citizen

Hi Mr Tan,
I deliberately left the house when PM Lee made his National Day Rally speech live because I don't want to end up smashing my TV set. His usual condescending smile/laughter alone to is enough to enrage me.

Reading the transcript later, I'm glad I did what I did. As expected, PM Lee pretends to "understand" the plight of ordinary S'poreans. The fact that he said "if you can't board a train, the next train is just minutes away" betrays his pretentions. It is not just overcrowded trains/buses S'poreans have to endure. The entire infrastructure is bursting at the seam. A significant proportion of primary schools, junior college and university places have been taken up by foreigners/PRs/new citizens. S'poreans place a lot of importance on having a good education, yet the PAP govt doesn't think it necessary to ensure that S'poreans should get absolute priority in this area. MOE's position on P1 registration is baffling. On the one hand it claims all primary schools are equally equiped (thus implying they are of the same standards) and that there are sufficient places for all. Yet it refuses to make PRs queue behind S'poreans for P1 registration.

It is now crowded everywhere. There is shortage of hospital beds, long waiting times at polyclinics, crowded hawker centres, long queues at govt agencies. The list goes on and on. Obviously, our mutli-millionaire ministers are not impacted by these at all. They and their families get priority for everything in this country. They can afford to eat at exclusive restaurants, get first-class medical treatment at private clinics/hospitals, their homes are guarded by burly Gurkha guards, they get special police protection, etc.
