Transcription Job Possibility

I am looking for a transcriptionist who can type 70 WPM, is extremely focused, and willing to work hard for a variety of contracts.  The person does not have to be available full time, but needs to be dedicated enough to work most days of the week and does not need to be constantly encouraged to work.  At this point, I would need someone who can work for around 20 hours per week.  The pay is per item transcribed but with work, you can average around $20 per hour.  People who are bilingual in Spanish are preferred.  I would prefer someone with a degree and a broad vocabulary.  Please send information about yourself to joberu@optiqal.com

There is currently one opening but I should have more positions available in the coming future.  Please keep checking to see what is available.

Breaking Into Transcription

The transcription field is without a doubt one of the easiest types of jobs to get in the telecommuting category. However, there is quite a bit of confusion about how one gets into this particular field. Medical Transcription nearly always requires a certification or years of experience. However, business transcription does not typically have stringent requirements. First, it is a good idea to be able to type around 70 words per minute. You can test your typing speed by going to:

Your typing accuracy is also important but that is something you can hone as you get experience. In the business transcription category, there are basically two types of transcription. One is transcription of long segments of audio such as conference calls, business meetings, seminars, etc. The other is more like data entry in which the user transcribes customer service surveys, name and addresses for mailing lists, name and phone numbers, etc. Typing speed is not necessarily all that important in the latter but being able to stay on task is important because it can become fairly monotonous trancribing 600 addresses per day.
