Transcribe for Verbal Vision

I found this post advertised on WAHM Forum. Hope it will help those looking for transcription positions. According to the hiring person you need not have experience in transcription but do need to pass their test.


TRANSCRIPTIONIST (work from home)
Experienced U.S.-based transcriptionists needed to work from home. As this is a virtual position, we require all transcriptionists to check their e-mail accounts at least twice a day for transcription assignments. Average sound file assignments run one hour in length or longer. All transcriptionists will retrieve digital audio files from our FTP site.

Requirements:

All transcription work for our company is completed by independent contractors. Compensation for this position is $10.25 per fifteen minutes of transcribed audio. It takes most of our transcriptionists about one hour to transcribe fifteen minutes of audio; thus, our pay rate is the approximate equivalent to $10.25 per working hour.

To apply for this position, please e-mail your resume to jobs@theverbalvision.com for immediate consideration. Please note that we require all applicants to take a brief, unpaid transcription test to verify transcription skills. Once you e-mail us your resume, we will send you the instructions for taking our test. Should you pass our testing phase, we will extend to you the offer of our independent contractor transcriptionist position.
