Trascription Jobs - Transcribe -Work From Home, Part Time Jobs
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my new blog of Transcription jobs. We all have learned typing somehow, either school, college or at work. And we have been typing emails, word documents or projects and we are well aware to check our typing speed and usage of keyboards and also spell check. We have also learnt business English by improving our typing skills in our system and also in our phones.
So, we all have an inbuilt skill in our self, Typing.
An decade ago, if anyone refers to typing, it would be an stereo way of typewriter or using computer for data entry. We had to visit an shop or an centre, wait for an person to do it for us. It was such a pain process.
Now, the situations and technology has changed and we our self can type the way and contents we want, no more waiting for others to our job. However, the requirement is more, in form of huge data to be typed or translated or to say many people record certain message or dictations and outsource the work of getting those talks/discussions recorded in typed format, to be saved in MS word or other document format.
Transcription has been the word buzz to many from past many years. However, most of us referred Transcription to just medical. In recent times the transcription format is changed from medical to corporate.
Many of the corporate management or senior members of an firm, pass on their message or information or certain process of explanation in voice recording and would want it to be documented in typed word format. Hence, there are many such firms offering such small time work, to have their voice recording, typed into word document format. In this process, many legit sites offer such transcribe jobs for us, where we have to type the audio into word format and produce it to them. Once the client reviews and accepts our work, we get paid.
So, why not use our inbuilt skill of typing and earn some cash.
