It depends on the context (whether referring to handwritten or typed). Typically transcription is "something written, especially copied from one medium to another, as a typewritten version of dictation". "WPM" stands for "words per minute"...as in how many words per minute can you transcribe. An example of "Transcription-WPM" could be referring to how many words per minute you could transcribing someone's notes from a meeting into legible format, either handwritten or typed. Transcribing doctor's notes, etc. It really varies depending on the field. Good luck!

Transcription is the process of converting spoken language into written text. WPM stands for Words Per Minute, which is a commonly used measure to determine the typing speed of a transcriptionist. The higher the WPM, the faster the transcriptionist can accurately convert spoken words into text.

Can a slow typist still be successful in medical transcription?

Yes, slow typist can also become a successful in medical transcriptionist. Usual typing speed need for MT is 35 wpm. If you are doing less also ok, but you have to practice on typing tutors to increase speed. Once you are listening to dictations, speed will increase automatically. If you get a good medical transcription training, they probably wouldn't let you get any kind of certificate without you achieving the right wpm as an MT. Slow typing can always be solved through training and practice so don't worry so much about it.
