Speeches, lectures, television and radio programs, and interviews must be converted to text that’s delivered timely and accurate. If you possess exceptional English language and grammar skills and you’re an experienced typist with a speed of at least 75 wpm, you could transcribe audio to text.

Some businesses may require you to take a transcription test before offering you opportunities to work. Most assignments are handled on a freelance basis.

Here are some sites to explore. You can find others by searching online.

• www.productiontranscripts.com (No beginners or students)
• www.tigerfish.com
• www.alicedarling.com
• www.speak-write.com

You must use caution when visiting these sites. Even though they contain a lot of legitimate information, they also lead to links to stuff that’s not legit. Be cautious about the sites and the ads you see and NEVER respond to check-cashing, wire transfer or Western Union related offers.
