Transcription Job

  Transcription jobs are a great option for people who are looking for a steady flow of work., even if they do not attend an office and prefer to work from other locations. The tasks which can be completed by transcribers are different. A transcriber can copy a hand - written file, received via an email. But in general the transcriber work on audio and video recordings. The main task is to listen to the recording and write down what the people say in those recordings.
  A good transcriber should have strong listening, grammar skills, also should be able to complete all the assignments within the time frame set by the client.
  Because many transcribers work independently, they have an opportunity to create their own schedules, discuss the payment rates with their clients. At the same time they search for new jobs independently.
As this is mainly a work from home job, transcribers should be very skilled, also reliable.
  Many transcription job vacancies are posted online, and it's not difficult to find them through an online search.
  Here too, the salaries depend on the workload and on the ability to find new jobs continuously.
  Professional transcribers are relied upon in many fields.And the demand is very high.
  People who have short recordings usually look for freelance transcribers. The niche of this field is translation/transcription.
  Bilingual transcribers have a good opportunity to work for higher payment rates.
  There is a high demand of more than just copying words from recordings. The main reason is that there two different types of transcription. The verbatim transcription is simpler than the summary report transcription. In case of verbatim transcription the transcriber just writes down all the words he listen. The summary report transcription requires an ability to improve some points of the transcription.
  It is a well known fact that transcribing is a time - consuming process. One hour of a recording with multiple speakers requires at least four hours of work.
  To work as a transcriber you will need to have some equipment.
