Working from Home Typing - Are you a Typist or Transcriber


Before you set up your own typing from home service online, you need to know where your skills lie and, the difference between being a typist and a transcriber.  A lot of people think that they are one and the same and, they're not

Typist:

The word typist conjures up visions of someone sat in the office typing letters and, that would be partly right.  A typist must have exceptional grammar and punctuation skills, be intuitive enough to not just type dictation as it is but, to type it into "proper English" in a document. 

At Typing Solutions, I have a dedicated team of typists and we offer a typing service for all kinds of businesses: Chartered Surveyors, Inventory Companies, Psychiatric Services and many more.

With a normal, typing service, you would be offering your services as a typist, i.e. typing reports, inventories, surveyor reports, invoices and even books. 

Find out why typing from home with your own client(s) you earn a lot more than a salaried secretary       

Transcriber

A Transcriber needs also to have a good grasp of grammar and punctuation skills but, there, the similarities end.  The work that a transcriber must produce can range from a verbatim interview where, when you listen to every day speech, all the hmms, errs, ums, stutters, etc, must be transcribed with the same speed and accuracy as typing normal dictation.  Not only that, to be a transcriber you must be able to show in type, if an interviewee changes the subject, is upset, is shouting and many more different nuances of speech all with speed and accuracy.  This takes a lot of practice and experience to be able to type as a matter of course and, without hesitation.

A verbatim transcript cuts out the everyday utterances and stutters and, again, a Transcriber must be able to type up an interview, omitting these, with the same speed and accuracy.

At Typing Solutions, my team of transcribers provide a service for numerous Universities and entities throughout the world.

Think about the above before you start building your own typing from home website by following the instructions in my book and, decide whether you are offering typing services, transcription services or, both.
