A work-from-home transcriptionist documents conversations, presentations, or voice recordings to written form, often using dictation software. Instead of working in an office, work-from-home transcriptionists do the majority of their duties from home or another remote location. As a work-from-home transcriptionist, your responsibilities include listening to recorded audio and generating a transcript of the file as quickly and accurately as possible. Some transcriptionists work as general transcriptionists, transcribing anything from voicemails to board meetings, or doing interview transcriptions. Others complete specialized training or certifications to work in specific fields, such as medical or legal transcription. Exceptional listening, grammar, and typing skills are required in this career.
