Transcription Services - US Based Transcribers

A reader commented on how to start a writing career… Gene on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, 7:51:04 AM. She wrote, “Writing since I was young is my passion. I love to read and that is how I got this knack in writing.” She believes that if somebody can make a good story out of nothing, why can’t she? She can make a good story out of small inanimate things, actually. When her children were small they usually asked her to tell them stories before they sleep. No fairy tale book around, she quickly drew pictures out of thin air and made stories out of them and that is how she realized she can make pretty good stories for children. Her daughter, as an example, got her love and passion to reading and that is why she also loves to write. However, she believes that not only your genes can pull you to love certain things but also the training and customs people imbibe on you while you are young. If you teach young children to be imaginative and creative than you would be having a generation of write...

Because they have the capability to do home based job easily, it is not that far when the Philippines becomes the main choice to outsource transcription jobs.  With this popularity, many transcriptionists in the Philippines start working home based. The Internet is the primary source of transcription jobs. Online workers in the Philippines have the capacity to meet the demands by job providers. Through the advent of Internet, many Filipino transcriptionists are able to get jobs or voice files from the USA, Australia or even in the United Kingdom. This is a big shift for the outsourcing jobs in the Philippines because now is the time to integra...

In transcription, both quality and quantity are important. They always complement one another – like pen and ink. A pen is of no value to someone who would use it if it has no ink, and an ink cannot be used alone; it has to be inside a pen so it will write. To be one of the key contributors in the earnings of a company, a transcriptionist should give the numbers. No one could deny that it is the quantity that brings company revenue, and basically, what keeps a company from keep on going. As long as a company delivers the number, a company will surely continue to have business with their clients. On the other hand, numbers are not everything. A company should also want to keep the clientele that they already have and attract the possible patrons as well, that is why the quality of work done should not be taken for granted. While it is true that the quantity of work is what keeps a company from earning, the quality of work is what sets them apart from other businesses that offer the same...

Reducing the MP3 size for your transcription essential for faster file downloading and uploading. But the quality should not be compromised since the transcriptionist will have a hard time transcribing the voice file. Since MP3 is the most often or commonly used form of audio format in transcription, you may need to reduce the size from time to time. This is done to easily share the voice file to your colleagues when in need of their help like when you have too many blanks on your report. This is also used by transcription provider to easily share the voice file to the contractor or freelance transcriptionist who work online. I came to find this MP3 Quality Modifier – a freeware transcription tool that was created to reduce the size of MP3 audio transcription. It was specifically built to reduce the mp3 size, then choose the quality that is suitable for your need. Reduce mp3 size by changing the bitrate or by selecting one of the available quality presets. high quality, portable, comp...

How can you manage to transcribe productively? Many of us transcriptionist need to consider this question. As a medical transcriptionist, you must believe that productivity and accuracy are both vital for this job. We need to have speed, but we also need to be accurate in spelling, grammar and hearing the right words. One must learn to stay focused. Try not to be distracted or influenced by a noisy environment. To produce quality reports, staying focused will help you be more accurate in the medical report you are transcribing. Do not guess. If you come across a word or words that you cannot hear, listen once and move on for the meantime. Then, you try again by returning back to the time of your blank. The repetitive hearing is another key. The more you hear it, the more familiar you will be with how a certain doctor may dictate. Make shortcut keys. For the words or phrases that a certain doctor always dictates in the report, use the shortcut keys to make typing easier. This will he...

Glenda on Mon, Apr 26, 2010, at 11:47 PM answered the question: Even without adequate work experience, do you think you can start to work as a transcriptionist? As I look around and check the available jobs online, I chance upon the word “home transcriptionist.” It sounds interesting. As I read on and learn more about this job offer, I became more interested in the prospect of using my free time at home into good use by typing a variety of audio materials. I checked the qualifications and I think I have them all. To start with, transcribing audio materials involves a good listening skill in English. After working for 5 years in the call center industry, I have been so familiar with the foreign language. Couple it with my wide vocabulary in English, I really think this job suits me best. Words or phrases that might be unfamiliar to some people are no longer foreign to me. Besides, I learned to multitask through my job as a customer service representative before. I can type and listen at...
