Transcribers wanted!

The transcription team at an Australian based transcription company are currently recruiting motivated and competent people to assist with our transcription work.

You must have an excellent command of English. You should have a vocabulary wide enough to read and understand a classic Jane Austen novel comfortably. You should be able to apply the rules of English punctuation, for example regarding apostrophes.

You should be a reasonably fast typist, e.g. minimum 50 words per minute and able to transcribe an hour of clear recording in four hours or less.

You must be familiar with word processing and computers in general. Independent contractors must have a home computer with an Internet connection and Microsoft Word. You are responsible for maintaining your own computer. You are not required to have, or purchase, any other equipment such as foot pedals or dicta phones.

Previous audio transcription experience will be highly regarded whether it is legal, medical or administrative transcription experience. Further training will be provided to the successful candidates.

Independent contractors are expected to make contact with our managers daily, or as available, so that work can be allocated accordingly.

You need to be able to commit to at least 20 hours of work per week, and preferably more. You must have sufficient self-discipline to work from home and meet deadlines. We expect a high quality work and a dedicated and accommodating attitude.

Our recruitment process involves a grammar test, trial transcription test and an interview (face to face online interview).

HOW TO APPLY
To apply, simply submit a cover letter and resume (Curriculum Vitae). In your cover letter, please specify your availability and your expected remuneration rate per recorded audio hour.
