Exhibit 23.2



Information Regarding Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP


         Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), provides that if part of a registration statement at the time
it becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact, or omits a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such
registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such acquisition
such person knew of such untruth or omission) may assert a claim against, among
others, an accountant who has consented to be named as having certified any part
of the registration statement or as having prepared any report for use in
connection with the registration statement.

         In June of 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") was convicted of
obstructing justice, which is a felony offense. The SEC prohibits firms
convicted of a felony from auditing public companies. Andersen is thus unable to
consent to the incorporation by reference of the Company's previously filed
Registration Statements on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-09541, 333-09543,
333-66447, 333-85743, 333-49776, 333-65966, and 033-51508, previously filed
Registration Statements on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-58113, 333-69687,
333-75005, and 333-86433, previously filed Registration Statements on Form S-4
(Registration Nos. 333-57265 and 333-66447) and Andersen's audit report with
respect to MedQuist Inc.'s consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2001 and for the two years in the period then ended. Under these circumstances,
Rule 437a under the Securities Act permits MedQuist Inc. to file this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference into the Registration
Statements, without a written consent from Andersen. As a result, with respect
to transactions in MedQuist Inc. securities pursuant to the Registration
Statements that occur subsequent to the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Andersen will not have any
liability under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of
a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Andersen or any
omissions of a material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you
would be unable to assert a claim against Andersen under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act.
