Transcription jobs from home have become an increasingly popular choice among freelancers. With clear guidelines provided by clients, they can easily check the requirements and expectations before starting a project. A lot of transcription services companies are active in taking advantage of this increased interest and are onboarding everyone they can find. 

We’re different, though. Ditto Transcripts prides itself on choosing only the best transcriptionists for our clients. 

We like ambitious, detail-oriented people with a passion to learn and a tight focus on high service quality and excellence. We’re always looking for skilled, committed, and experienced professional transcriptionists, and we offer work-from-home freelance transcription jobs with opportunities to grow in our 100% U.S.-based business. 

Want to work from home? Join Ditto Transcripts!

Take the opportunity to apply as a transcriptionist in one of the best transcription companies in the U.S. If that’s not enough, here are a few perks you’ll enjoy when working on transcription jobs from home: 

Unrivaled schedule flexibility

Do you want to work exclusively on weekdays? Or do you like to jump in on weekends? Depending on your preference, whether you want to work full-time or as a freelancer, your schedule is as flexible as you can make it. You can finish projects in one sitting or start working on them whenever you want. 

Minimal investment

You don’t have to buy new equipment. If you have a decent computer or laptop that can run multiple programs simultaneously without crashing, then you’re already one step closer to the job. We recommend at least 8GB of memory to accommodate the web-based transcription programs needed to complete your job. Your internet connection should be at least 10 Mbps so you won’t have any access problems to our tools and resources, we do however recommend 100 Mbps for faster connections to our online platform. 

If you want to step up your work setup, here are a few more things to consider. 

• Quality, closed-back headphones: High-quality headphones are crucial when audio quality is low or when multiple people are speaking over each other. The Spectra USB Transcription Headset is an excellent choice.
  
• Dual monitors: Though not essential, having two monitors has been proven to increase productivity in transcription.
  
• Foot pedal: A foot pedal allows you to control actions without using a mouse. For this one, we recommend the Infinity USB Digital Foot Pedal.
  
• A Mechanical keyboard: A mechanical, high-quality keyboard is essential in transcription. Your hands should rest comfortably on the keyboard, and your arms must be properly positioned for extended use.
  
• Software: Transcription software helps make many computer tasks more efficient. The software most commonly used by transcriptionists typically depends on the company, but the one we recommend is Express Scribe by NCH Software. As for browsers, Safari and Google Chrome are popular with many of our transcriptionists.
