Transcriptionist’s Work as Defined by a Non-Transcriptionist



Most home-based jobs seeker look up for a job in various search engine or jobs portal. And when you chanced upon advertisements by job providers that interest you, but you don’t have required experience needed, what will you do? Are you still going to apply to that job?

It may come to your senses that the job could be a very easy work until the time comes you learn from friends who have actual experience of that job.

 






 

Let’s tackle for instance the work of an audio transcriptionist. If you’re not familiar with this kind of work, you can just read information in various websites discussing this. You will get the first impression that a productive transcriptionist should be very enthusiastic and meticulous about details.

The work includes listening to a voice or audio file on the subject of conversations, discussions or monologue, then encoding or typing every single

The work includes listening to a voice or audio file on the subject of conversations, discussions or monologue, then encoding or typing every single word whatever heard. At the same time, you must learn to create a decent, readable document.  An audio transcriptionist requires a high level of skill of being proficient basically with

An audio transcriptionist requires a high level of skill of being proficient basically with the English language (grammar, comprehension, punctuations and ) a good sense of hearing and capacity to understand diction or voice intonations, especially if you will be listening to an audio file with a various continental accent usually of Western or European origins.

A comparatively fast typing skill is also a must. Not only these but also being well-known with the topic of what you are transcribing, like for example a medical transcriptionist must have extensive knowledge regarding medical terms, jargons, vocabulary, abbreviations and other matters concerning the medical field in order for one to transcribe effectively and precisely.

It is a fact that the audio transcriptionist's work demands a cycle of understanding technical expertise in writing and knowledge of grammar – one must understand the meaning and context of whatever you hear from the audio recording to transcribe it effectively and obtain a quality output.

You have to key in data or words accurately and must capture the flow of conversation from what you are hearing into what you will be transcribing. It is an arrangement of listening, writing or encoding then proofreading and editing your own work for accurate result thus obtaining a high-quality work.

That is how a non-transcriptionist perceives the work of a transcriptionist. It is no doubt that in order to be an effective audio transcriptionist, one must be critical, knows how to make correct use of language, and can multitask because you are listening and writing/typing at the same time.

A transcriptionist must also be dedicated to work and be able to meet set deadlines and have the enthusiasm to accurately focus on listening and transcribing.

Now being a non-transcriptionist, you can come up the realization that audio transcription is not an easy job – one needs to have a lot of talents and skills but could be manageable, as long as you have the heart and passion for work and dedication.
