MT Blab

A place for me, an at-home MT (medical transcriptionist) to blab about the ups and downs of transcribing at home, industry news, products, and blah blah blah blah.

Computer Gloves

The product I am eye-balling now is the Softflex computer glove.

http://www.softflex.com/

I am happy to report that my ergonomic keyboard has taken away probably 80 or 90 percent of my wrist pain. It must have been mostly how my wrists were positioned all day long. However, my wrists do still burn a bit at times, and I think perhaps these gloves would relieve the last bit of pain I experience. I plan to transcribe for at least the next 10 years, so I better take care of my wrists and hands now.

Hi Lynn!

I'm in the last module of studies at the Andrews School. Thanks for your blog. I got the softflex gloves. I found that they really helped a lot with a regular keyboard to prevent pain while typing, but I too recently got an ergonomic keyboard, and I find them less necessary now. However, if I were typing more than a few hours per day, I think the help they provide would be more noticeable.

Best regards,
Carla
