Best Sites and Companies that Hire International Transcribers Remotely

With so many internationally-known companies going digital and outsourcing jobs on the Internet, the need for skilled stay at home employees only goes up. But while the number of companies, which are interested in hiring both American and international, overseas workers is growing, the services they are interested in getting differ a lot.

Copywriting, web design, virtual assisting, customer service and various sales positions are still being offered but not as frequently as before. Today is seems that the most demanded position is transcription, at least this job is being sought-after by both applicants, who want to earn good rates for their work, and employers, who need to have their assignments done quickly and efficiently.

What is a transcription job?

If you have been following the latest Internet trends, you should have noticed that image and text content is being outranked by video content. As a result the number of employee positions connected with video creation is continuously going up.

And to make video content more interactive, it needs subtitles and closed captions, which are produced by transcribers.

Transcription is the process of rendering any audio file or video commentary into a text form that can be later used for various purposes. Apart from video producers, transcribers are hired by companies of various sizes that need to make text versions of their presentations, conferences, etc.

Today landing a work at home position in transcription is not an easy task but we managed to find some good employers, where you can put your skills to use, even if you live outside the United States of America, Canada or the United Kingdom.

Please note that this is a summary post, created for your convenience. Most of these opportunities were already reviewed by us and you can find links to full articles below.
