Legal Secretary: Legal Transcription

Written by on in

Transcription work is still in demand for companies who need their interviews, focus groups, podcasts, etc, transcribed. There are many ways to work as a transcriptionist, but I recommend starting out your career by subcontracting for transcription companies.

How to Become a Transcriptionist will teach you everything you need to know about working with and getting hired by well-paying transcription companies.

With this course, you’ll go from a transcription newbie to a confident transcriptionist with skills that transcription companies will hire you for.

This comprehensive course is designed to help you:

  • Jumpstart your transcription career by teaching you how to avoid low-paying jobs, showcasing the minimal equipment you need without breaking the bank, and explaining how to apply to companies
  • Strengthen your typing and grammar skills to become a more efficient transcriptionist
  • Practice transcribing short audio files with Express Scribe so you’re ready to apply to transcription companies
  • Create a transcription-specific cover letter and resume – even if you don’t have prior transcription experience
  • Find the best companies to work for that hire beginners – plus, learn how to spot a scam
  • Know how to manage the business side of transcription as a subcontractor
  • Learn how to grow your transcription career and increase your earnings
