How to Become a Professional Transcriptionist
When we mention the word transcriptionist or transcriber, most people immediately think “fast typer.” While this is definitely important – there are other various skills a professional transcriptionist needs to have.
But, while we’re on the point of speedy typing…we speak at a rate of 150 to 170 words per minute. On average that is 10,000 words an hour.
A professional transcriptionist can type between 80 to 100 words per minute, sometimes more. Based on a clear piece of audio, a 1 hour interview can take anywhere between 4 and 6 hours to transcribe.
Does your business need transcription services? We have four reasons why outsourcing your transcription services makes sense.
