This course was very helpful as an introduction to someone who had no prior experience.

Going good so far. Easy to follow instructions.

Alot to take in

By Louissa Ward on 10/23/2020

A great introduction to Transcription. Without this I would not be able to understand nor know the technicalities involved in Transcription and what is expected of them. It really has given me a good grounding to begin a new service offering in this area. I highly recommend this course.

By Karamjit Singh on 10/12/2020

yeah, it was good experience

By Bori Hoffbauer on 10/6/2020

It's a very comprehensive and informative course with lots of practical information. Chelsea speaks in a well-paced and articulated manner, which I'm sure is a plus for many non-native students.

By Caitlin Thomas on 10/5/2020

This is great so far! The only thing is I am on a HP device and she is using MAC in video, so the layout and tabs for Express Scribe are a little different between the two.

By Lucy Nyambura on 9/27/2020

The instructor is very thorough. Very helpful.

By joseph Gray on 9/26/2020

It was okay. My only problem is that some of the lessons are cutting before the video is done. Or that the lesson is shorter than the video.

By Dot Dawkins on 9/24/2020

Instructor teaches at a nice even pace. Very easy to follow along and not feel like shes going to fast or too slow. Satisfied so far. Thanks!

By Akash Sharma on 9/24/2020

course is good but express scribe doesn't work in the same way as it does in the mac.
