Transcriptionists are wanted for immediate start every day when you’re a freelance transcriptionist. Jobs range from one-off requirements, to long-term transcription jobs.

A lot of transcription work will be from audio tapes, where somebody’s recorded an interview, or a series of interviews, and now they need it typing up. Some of them will then take what’s been typed up and hire translators to translate it into other languages, but you don’t have to think about that, your job is simply to transcribe the tape you’re given.

I’ve personally done transcription work for some Government departments, transcribing short interviews they had on their website.

As a freelancer, you simply bid for the jobs you can do and quote the rate you will work for. Once you’re picked you usually start immediately and the work turnaround times can be quite short; you’re then paid once they sign the job off – so for fast cash freelancing can really work well.

Transcription Equipment

Depending on the type of work you’re doing, as a transcriptionist you might need to get a transcription machine for playing back tapes – or a foot pedal and software for playing back digital files.

This equipment can be bought quite cheaply second hand:

Other tools of the trade transcriptionists have to hand are specialist dictionaries – and books about style – some specialisms have specific styles in which documents need to be produced, so transcriptionists will keep a reference book handy in case they need to just check something. A dictionary and a thesaurus are handy too, although online sources for these are increasingly used.
