Analog vs. Digital: Gone are the days of audio (analog) tapes that get lost, broken and worn out. Practices no longer wait for a tape pickup or paper report delivery. Digital technology is here, and it's a good thing. Digital sound files can be handled and transported like most other computer files via disk or modem with ease of storage and duplication. Nowadays, digital files are sent across the nation and in some cases, across the oceans for transcription within seconds. Digital technology also creates better quality recordings. Just think of the first time you heard a CD play a tune you formerly heard on cassette. For a transcriptionist, moving to digital technology can turn a nightmare job into a breeze. There are, though, a great many medical practices and transcriptionists still using tapes, which come in standard and microcassette size, and the machine used for transcription must of course match the tape.  Very few minicassette size tapes are in existence today.  Local arrangements must be made for pickup and delivery.
