Computer, Software, & Work Station
A computer with a printer hookup and a comfortable space for working is needed to become a work from home general transcriptionists. The computer needs to either have speakers or high quality headphones for listening to the recording. We suggest headphones, because it will not disturb other people.
The computer should have at least Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel software. MS Outlook is desired for communication with client and for setting alerts about the impending deadlines of projects.
Windows Media Player or similar software is needed to play the recordings for transcription. This is usually available at no cost.
High Speed Internet Access
Transcriptionists will be downloading and uploading files from the client websites and other FTP sources. Many of the files will be large. Transcriptionists will be unable to download voice files and transcribe them in time, especially with tight deadlines, without access to high speed internet connection.
Transcribing Equipment
- Foot pedal to control speed, reverse, and fast forward digital recordings.
- Headphones
