I have done transcription, almost all kinds EXCEPT for medical, for the past 12 years. Some of it as an employee and I worked both in the office and out of my home. When I went into the office, I would go in the evening and at a time when I wished to go, and that was transcription combined with editing and writing reports as well. I worked as an independent contractor for a transcription service in addition to that, doing all kinds of transcription. I type very fast (at least 120 wpm) and am very accurate and was paid by the page and still did not make good money, not to mention that it is very tedious and boring work, which is also why this particular company had a difficult time finding employees/contractors. I've only worked for three companies doing transcription and they all had this problem. My understanding was that the software now available WAS having an affect on (their) transcription business and they were expecting it to become a much larger affect in the future, but I have not talked to the people who own that company for a while. They did not do medical transcription, but just about everything else. I'm not sure if you are looking for full time or part time or what kind of money, but I could not do transcription for 40 hours a week and I have been told that most transcriptionists are part time, but I have no idea whether that is true. They all were part time anywhere I have ever worked, with only one exception that I knew of. Blessed be, harmony
