I want to start looking for online typing gigs, how do I lear to transcribe/type in a fast way?
On a different side of things, my advice would be to put a little money into your equipment. I don’t mean invest a ton up front, just make sure you are set up for success. You need to be a fast and accurate typist. Slow typing speed will just not cut it, and having to make endless corrections will make the job take so long that you will waste your time and lose money. You need to have clear and accurate hearing skills. You must be able to hear and understand what is being said on the audio so you can type it. Good headphones or earphones are so essential when it comes to transcribing. And, if you are finding it really difficult, there are tons of transcribing softwares for you out there to do the job for you. But they don’t come for free, you have to pay.
Although, there are some platforms that allow their transcribers to use transcribing software tools, however some don’t allow and you have to do all the work, in full. I’m also fairly new to transcribing, I’ve just been doing it for 3 months. I use crowdcompute to browse through the audios and have a built-in window where I put the transcription. Also, I try to listen to audios and write down to help build myself.
