The Best Online Data Entry Jobs From Home - Transcription Jobs

Individuals who work from home as transcriptionists are often expected to produce typewritten copies of recorded material which they will then edit and tweak right on their home computers. Because of the very essence of this type of job, the skills of a transcriptionist can easily be used in many other work at home opportunities as well.

This is probably a good place to inform you, however, that many transcription jobs may require specialized equipment depending on actual tasks to be performed. While is important to know so that you can see if you're will in to invest in the specialized equipment, it might also be helpful because you may be able to invest in equipment that can be used for several types of jobs. This is one sure way to get an even quicker return on your investment should you go this route.

Typically, transcriptionists do not need any formal training. However, it is not uncommon for them to be expected to understand standard legal terminology and have an above average handle on the English grammar.

Regarding pay, depending on the actual assignment, we found that some transcriptionists can expect to make as low as $20K and as high as $40K according to a few resources. However, pay generally is based on your experience level.

Finally, and hopefully to no surprise, you will have to be a fast typist. The lowest required speed I found that hiring companies are looking for is 60-65/wpm (these were far and few between though). I mostly saw companies looking for people who could type at speeds of 80-95/wpm.

In any event, this work at home job type can be a worthwhile venture if you're interested in the details mentioned above.

As always, good luck with your research and much success with whichever business you decide to go with. Thanks for your time and GOD Bless!
