Here are the comments from our readers:
I’m really familiar with this transcriptionist job right now, this is one of the job booming here in the Philippines. Basically, it’s all about medical terms and this is the first time I heard of general transcriptionist. What other thing they need to transcribe other than doctor’s advise? This job is cool especially it’s available via home-based. Good for housewives, newly graduated students looking for extra income. Hope this trend will work and fortunately will last.
Home based medical transcription is a popular move for many people who wish to work at home and earn a living. Of course, some people believe that transcription is just typing words dictated via various recorded means but there is nothing farther from the truth, especially for the medical field.
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of working from home, especially with medical transcription is the ability to have more time with the family. Medical transcription does not require the punching of a time clock. All the client (transcription company or medical establishment) wants is their final product and it is up to you to create your work schedule to ensure that your work is done in a timely, accurate manner.
There is a thinking that a transcriptionist is simply a very fast typist but there is much more to this profession. This requires the skill of literacy…..
Just Enjoy the work……..
What’s a good thing about we, Filipinos, is that we know what we have (be it a personal skill, talent or knowledge). And we always find ways on how to use these “resources” in order to make something out of it. This, I think, is the reason why home-based transcription is becoming popular here in the country. I, for one, believe that I possess all the qualifications of becoming a part-time transcriptionist that is why I applied for job. And by doing so, I will be able to utilize my resources in order to make something out of it, that is, extra income.
Home based transcription is easy to do especially if you really have background with this field. Unemployed, part-time, or full-time are also can do.
Home-based transcription is really increasing its popularity in the Philippines. This is because Filipinos is known to be proficient in English. Home-based job like this will be a great help to many Filipinos such as student, housewives and unemployed graduate students. It gives you a more convenient way of working since it is at home. It gives more opportunity to Filipinos to earn money in a better way instead of leaving the country.
Many Filipinos were very good transcriptionist, it’s because we love watching English movies and listening to music which can contribute a lot. Filipinos are also very versatile in different accent, they just need at least a day of familiarizing themselves with the accent.
Living in the 21st century, resources is within our grasp. Some called it “the world is flat” because we can browse anything and everything in just a second. In a way, home based jobs swarming through the world wide web which give us the opportunity to access and earn money as we usually describe it as part time jobs. The advantages are you can work at any time and at any place. It caught also my interest to apply home based transcription jobs, not only to help me financially but increasing my skills.
Home-based transcription jobs provide earning opportunities for those who are confined to their homes for most of their lives, like housewives. It can also boost the earning capacity of those who are in low-income jobs and those who have no regular work. The most attractive feature of home-based transcription is its convenience; being able to get paid for work done in the confines of your own comfortable space in your own sweet time.
Being a home-based transcriptionist is not an easy job. To some people who haven’t had experience on transcription, they thought it’s just typing and that’s it. I have friends who have not had experience and tried to apply to one of the companies who is hiring home-based transcriptionist. When they tried the transcription test, they had a hard time. You also got to have the skills, good hearing acuity, good knowledge of English grammar, etc.
It is true that having a home based job such as transcription is a challenging one. It is an easy job if we have good hearing acuity and knows the International language which is English. We will be able to make a good living with this career.
I’ve recently heard about these on-line jobs such as doing transcriptions that caters to everyone who is computer literate and fluent in the English language. Perhaps the reason for these trend nowadays especially in the Philippines is because of the opportunity that it offers to everyone without the age requirement or particular social status.In addition, it also does more efficient job requiring less time, effort and money in exchange of the quality work done by the Filipinos. Even my friends and colleagues in the University have been encouraging me to apply for it because it is not only beneficial for the employer but also for the job-seeker.
Working right at the comfort of home, has a lot of advantages with it; not only will an employee save money with the minus transportation and food fees, but more so the ability to control your own time and be able to spend more moments with the rest of the family members. Philippine Home-Based transcription allows a person to earn doing what he or she loves while being with the one he or she love.
Yes, I agree that home-based job transcription is growing in the Philippines. One of the reasons for that is because there aren’t many office-based jobs that will give you a much higher compensation as compared to this.
Hi, I’m a medical transcriptionist for 5 years now and I’m doing general transcription also. I’m interested with the job and currently doing home-based transcription now. Thank you and god bless :).
Becoming a transcriptionist requires complete accuracy and attention to detail. Good listening skills are a must, along with the ability to understand various accents. Transcription skills are in high demand, and learning to be a transcriptionist can lead to telecommuting work from a home-based office. Many companies outsource transcription tasks to independent contractors. For those who wish to work from home, consistently delivering transcribed documents on time and without error can lead to many more work opportunities.
Working from home is very convenient. You are not only able to work in an environment that gives you comfort, but as a mother of two, I am also able to keep an eye on what my kids are doing around me. I get to work efficiently and effectively without having to feel the pressure when loads of work needed to be done right away.
Earning my own money for tuition and allowance to send myself to school has been my feat for the past few years, and so has it been for a lot others. The introduction of home-based transcription has been receiving positive responses from these specific group of people. It is my opinion that the nature of this work paves the way for high quality deliverables due to its workplace and working time flexibility feature. This makes it most attracting to this specific group of people primarily since it prevents compromising academics because of work load and vice versa. Quality in both fields is very important. One should not need to excel in one end and be poor on the other because excelling in both fields should not be, and is not anymore, impossible.
My very first home-based job was being a General Transcriptionist. I had no idea what kind of job that was offered to me. Thanks to my Australian employee for the opportunity that he gave to me that open me to online home-based jobs. Since we Filipinos are hard working that is why we are always on the top of the lists of foreign employers.
Filipinos are the ones who grab onto the home-based jobs so that they hold their times. They also don’t spend much money going out to the offices and buy their lunches when its all at home. It is more relaxing to work at home than to go to the office.
Not only increasing numbers of households having access thru internet, but also needing more jobs to support families in this undeveloped economy of the country why some opt to apply to these kinds of work. There are also cases wherein some even enrolled in schools as medical transcriptionists rather than getting a four-year course because they need money more than prestige. I believe that the increasing numbers of Filipinos working as transcribers are relatively a new phenomenon that researchers should look at in order to understand what is currently happening in the job market of the Philippines.

Hi,
i would be interested in home based MT job, if it is available with you, kindly let me know.
Many Thanks.
Hi Ms. Donna,
I am also planning to have a career shift. May I know how much do you earn from being a medical transcriptionist let’s say in a month?
Thanks.
Randy
Medical transcription has been long introduced and practiced in the Philippines. A lot of transcription companies have tried and failed but transcriptionists managed to make it on their own even at the comfort of their home. Being a home-based transcriptionist myself makes me more proud, happy, and fulfilled mom and career woman at the same time.
as you have said, you still get home-based transcription works from your former company…are they sending the works via the internet? how do you get the payments?
Yes, it is true that nowadays, transcription industry is getting higher and getting in-demand. So, I myself want to engage in this kind of industry using my knowledge and skills in typing. I do also believe that I can also use my skills and knowledge in shorthand which I had learnt during my university days. I don’t want to waste that skills I had gained.
Aside from that I want to use my time more productive while I stay home during weekends and weekdays after my work. I also want to enhance more my skills and gain more skills by transcribing. It can help me to improve more my listening skills, comprehension, and even my communication skills. By the way I am English teacher for Korean students. It will also help me to recognize and to understand different accent of English speakers.
I am a dentist & a nurse by profession but I want a career move. I have been practicing my profession as a dentist for more than 15 years now, but I recently became inactive with my practice. Since home based transcription is getting popular nowadays, it is an advantage that I have finished a course for Medical Transcription Training Program. For full-time mothers like me, it is very helpful for us to do our jobs at home, while still performing our responsibilities as a mother and as a wife at the same time. So in behalf of other full-time moms like me, I am very hopeful that there will be lots of MT companies, small or big, that will give us home based transcription jobs to help us become better moms and good providers as well.
Home based job in the Philippines is now spreading. I see 3 major reasons for this:
1. The income is higher than the basic or initial offer most company in the country offer.
2. The convenience of not thinking of the rush hour, the heavy traffic and the hassle of going to work every single day.
3. The most important is having a quality time with your family.
Most of the individuals interested in this job are mom’s who want to see and take care of their children while still pursuing their career. There are also few men who are interested in this industry because of the reasons mentioned above. And I am one of them; it’s very convenient to work with your pajamas and to focus with your goals because you’re in the comfort of your own home.
Long before I got married, I already decided that I will be a full time mother after giving birth. But I realized staying at home without any income is not also good financially. So it is really nice to know that there are jobs like this here in the Philippines, where mothers can take care of their families in the comfort of theirs homes while earning money.
Home based transcription work is an opportunity for those people who are already tired of the stressful call center set up.
I have worked for the call center industry for 8 years and I felt so burned that I quit my job.
With home based transcription, I am able to earn a living without leaving the house.
For me, transcription helps me hone my typing, editing, and language skills because with all the multitasking you have to make sure that everything is accurate and well punctuated. I think I have found the career that I’m going to stick with.
As technology is just around the corner, computer is at our homes and we are proficiently can speak, write and understand English language. So, it is easy for us Filipino to do a home-based job like home-based transcription.
Home-based transcription is the best way for us to gain more knowledge and be competitive to other countries.
Yes, nowadays many people prefer working from home instead of working in an office base company. One of the advantages of a home based worker is that it gives you enough flexibility to work on your own, you have your own time schedule. Working at home also lessen the cost of living by reduction in travelling and other office expenses. A transcriptionist must me a good listener to perform his/her job well.
