Work As a Transcriptionist From Home and Start Today:By
Jason Michael Howard:Would you like to make a living doing transcription
work from home? In essence, transcription work involves listening
to audio files, and typing what you hear into a word processing
program like Microsoft Word. With the proliferation of podcasts
and other digital media these days, there is no shortage of work
for the transcriptionist. If you can type accurately and with relative
speed, and if you have a decent grasp of spelling and grammar, you
can get into transcription work today.
Right now, you can download free software called Express Scribe
(http://www.nch.com.au/scribe). This will let you slow down the
audio so you can more easily type along. Also, it lets you start
and stop the audio with either keyboard controls or a foot pedal
that you can purchase (often for around $70). This makes transcribing
much easier, since you can stop the audio with your foot and keep
typing with your hands, but it's not necessary to have a foot pedal
to get started. You can start by using the keyboard controls in
Express Scribe, and the Express Scribe website has all the information
you'll need on purchasing a foot pedal.
If you want to practice transcription, and see how you do, try downloading
a podcast from the Internet, put it in Express Scribe, and get started!
You can set up keyboard controls if you don't have a foot pedal.
A great way to get started is a website called Shrinkrapradio, which
asks for volunteers to work on transcripts of their podcast. Many
podcasts will be glad to have volunteer transcriptionists -- just
ask. You'll be an experienced transcriptionist in no time. You don't
need anybody to hire you (yet) -- just start typing!There are several
types of transcription that you might want to consider. One is medical
transcription which often involves typing the dictations of doctors.
Legal transcription involves anything and everything related to
law. Click
