Non-medical transcription can deal with anything from simple business information to extensive legal matters. To transcribe information, you will need a computer with a word processing software (like MS Word), and a dictophone, a device which houses a mini- and/or micro-cassette and buttons that adjust the speed and tone of the tape%26#039;s speaker. Internet access is a plus if you%26#039;re transcribing from home. You will need to learn how to type while listening on a dictophone without making too many mistakes. It is generally recommended that anyone interested in pursuing this career, whether it be full time or part time, that he or she obtain training through a school that teaches transcription or some online educational program since one will need knowledge of medical or legal terminology to type for whichever company or person he or she plans on transcribing for. As for the pay, some employers pay by how many lines, words, or pages the transcription contains, while others pay by the hour. Please note that whether or not you%26#039;re full time that you may or may not obtain employee benefits.
