Transcriptionist’s Work as Defined by a Non-Transcriptionist
Tosca on Mon, May 3, 2010 at 6:40 PM
While looking up into a job search database, I stumbled upon ads for transcriptionist, editors, and so on… It came to my senses that this could be a very easy work, until I heard from an old friend about his experience in applying to a transcription company.
I believe that a transcriptionist should be very keen about details. The work involves listening to a voice file regarding conversations, discussions or dictation, then encoding or typing whatever he/she is listening to, at the same time. A transcriptionist requires the skill of being familiar basically with language (grammar, comprehension, punctuations, literature) a good sense of hearing and ability to understand diction or voice inflections, especially if you will be listening to an audio file with a Western accent. A fairly fast typing skill is also a must. Not only these but also being familiar with the topic of what he or she is transcribing, like for example a medical transcriptionist should posses and extent knowledge regarding medical terms/vocabulary, abbreviations and other matters regarding the medical field in order for one to transcribe effectively and precisely.
I believe that the transcripitionist’s work entails a cycle of understanding, technical skills in writing and knowledge about grammar – one must understand the meaning and context of whatever he/she hears to be able to transcribe it effectively and obtain a quality work. You have to input data accurately and must capture the flow of discussion from what you are hearing into what you will be transcribing. I think that it is a system of listening, writing or encoding and editing work for precise result and obtaining a quality work.
That is how I see the work of a transcriptionist. I am sure that in order to be a good transcriptionist, one must be analytical, learn how to make good use of language, and can multitask, since you are listening and writing at the same time. A transcriptionist must also be committed to work, and be able to meet set deadlines and have the passion to accurately focus in listening and transcribing. Now I came to realize that it is not an easy job – one need to have a handful of talents and skills but could be easy, as long as you have the heart and passion for work and commitment.

Words or phrases that might be unfamiliar to some people are no longer foreign to me. Besides, I learned multitasking through my job as a customer service representative before. I can type and listen at the same time. Not to mention my typing skills ranges from 35-40 WPM, so I really think I am very much qualified for this home based kind of work. Since I have decided to go home based all the way, I have much free time to accommodate other kinds of jobs that will hone my skills. The skills I have learned in the outsourcing industry have prepared me for a job like this.

Experience required in becoming a Good Transcriptionist

Most often, a lot of home-based job seekers normally believe that even without adequate transcription experience, they can still become an effective transcriptionist.
Being a transcriptionist, it requires a great level of attention to details, in-depth knowledge and impeccable listening skills. Home-based job seekers surmise that they can easily meet these requirements. This is also as long as they can type 50 to 60 wpm with high level of accuracy, and they possess good communication and organizational skills, they can then have the making of a good transcriptionist.
In spite of the fact that some of them lack transcription experience in this field of work, one could say that he would definitely be able to do the job efficiently. For some, this is because of the similarities of the nature of their job to the activities of transcription.
For example, a person working as a communication assistant can bridge the communication gap between individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled and those people who are able to naturally hear and speak. They basically relay conversations between text (through online chat) and voice telephone users. Their job also includes taking messages from voice parties and sending them through email or relaying messages from recordings and answering machines by typing it to deaf users.
Above being the case, it somehow seems that transcriptionist and communication assistant both require similar qualifications for prospective employers . Since home-based job seekers can be versatile enough in doing good in this job , the potential of their becoming successful in this field can be also as high, of course with a tinge of passion that should come with it.
