The transcription service is a process of written form of spoken words, that means basically a written or printed representation of something like speech and it can be a sound or television recording : these are fast services and in executive level that are reliable to users.

You can definetely make money online offering transcription services : it may happens that you are in that time in your life when you consider changing career and instead of looking for a similar employment experience, you can be between the ones that are considering to work at home.

A lot of work at home jobs, including offering transcription services, allow you as typist to work as many or as few hours as you desire : you will have completely control over the daily schedule and this allows more time for personal responsibilities and family activities.

Of course, like any other job, the capacity to earn is based on the amount of time that you put into doing home based transcription jobs and a full time day is needed to earn enough money to live, but if you think it can be suitable, you may think to do it as a secondary income, in order to realize a decent salary from continuous part-time work.

What you need

As start, you should be prepared to apply for positions and meet all expectations and in order to get hired, you will need to have a computer with internet access as well as a working e-mail address.

You will also need speakers or headphones on your computer, so you can hear each audio recording clearly and of course, you must have a fine detail for accuracy too.

It is so important to be careful and make sure that every word is dictated properly : otherwise, the message which is being transcribed may lose the sense or meaning.

There is no big investment required for starting transcription business from home : this is the best way to make money and it is also totally home based business.
