Non medical transcription jobs

This page is dedicated to non medical transcription jobs (general transcription jobs) for virtual assistants and those wishing to run a business working from home doing non medical transcription.

The good thing is that non medical transcription work is not niche specialised work such as medical transcription or medico/legal and is therefore easier to get into.

I'll list some resources to help you find non medical transcription work.

You can join a virtual assistant network where prospective clients visit the networks looking for a transcriptionist.

You can join a virtual assistant employment agency , just like a normal agency, but dealing specifically with virtual assistants.

You can visit and join a freelance work from home website where businesses are looking for transcription work to be completed.

In your role as a virtual assistant you can approach a transcription company that outsources all their work to transcriptionists who are independent contractors.

You can register your details on certain transcription websites that allow typists to register their services. I personally use NCH Swift Sound's free transcription software and on their website they have a page for typists worldwide to list their services. You must have a website to participate in a link exchange with them. Just search for the term 'services directory' on their site to bring you to that page.

You can also register your transcription business on Transcription Gear , which is a website that sells all sorts of transcription equipment and has a free register for typists worldwide. Apparently it's very popular, so it won't hurt to register.

You can also register with HomeJobStop which is a leading work from home job bank. They are offering a lifetime membership of US$18 to access the job bank. Or try Virtual Assistants who are also a job bank who have legitimate work at home opportunities for virtual assistants/home based transcribers.
