TheVerbalVision, Inc. hiring transcriptionists to work from home

[theverbalvision]

Hey everyone - my name is Ryan, and I work for TheVerbalVision, Inc., a transcription firm based out of New York City. We are currently recruiting for new transcriptionists to join our team, so I figured it couldn't hurt to make everyone on this board aware of the opening.

The details for the position are below. We do require all applicants to take a brief, unpaid transcription test to verify your skills before we contract for your services. That said, this is an independent contractor position. We will send you a 1099 at the end of the year for tax purposes. However, there are no upfront fees involved, and this is a completely legitimate work from home opportunity. You can learn more about us at www.theverbalvision.com..

For any inquiries about the position or to submit your resume and receive our test instructions, simply send an e-mail to jobs@theverbalvision.com. If you have any quick questions, you can of course reply to this thread, but any questions can be answered directly via e-mail as well.

The details for the transcriptionist position are as follows:

TRANSCRIPTIONIST (work from home)
Experienced U.S.-based transcriptionists needed to work from home. As this is a virtual position, we require all transcriptionists to check their e-mail accounts at least twice a day for transcription assignments. Average sound file assignments run one hour in length or longer. All transcriptionists will retrieve digital audio files from our FTP site.

Requirements:
+ Must have an excellent grasp of American culture and colloquialism as well as English spelling and punctuation rules
+ Ability to handle accents, background noise, and difficult audio at times highly desired
+ Willingness to spend time looking up medical terminology and follow varying formatting instructions
+ Available to transcribe at least four hours of audio per week
+ Broadband Internet access (required for expedited downloading purposes)
+ Familiarity with downloading from FTP sites
+ Experience with free transcription program Express Scribe
+ Foot pedal

All transcription work for our company is completed by independent contractors. Compensation for this position is $10.25 per fifteen minutes of transcribed audio. It takes most of our transcriptionists about one hour to transcribe fifteen minutes of audio; thus, our pay rate is the approximate equivalent to $10.25 per working hour.

To apply for this position, please e-mail your resume to jobs@theverbalvision.com for immediate consideration. Please note that we require all applicants to take a brief, unpaid transcription test to verify transcription skills. Once you e-mail us your resume, we will send you the instructions for taking our test. Should you pass our testing phase, we will extend to you the offer of our independent contractor transcriptionist position.

Would this be something someone could do with no experience but learn to do?

[theverbalvision]

Thanks everyone to those who sent in their resumes! We're in the process of getting back to many of you with our test instructions, and we've already e-mailed the test instructions to those who e-mailed us last night.

@southernbred - To answer your question, we're not strict about requiring experience. In fact, our only requirement is that you pass our transcription test. If you pass our test without having experience, we will certainly still bring you on board.

We're also still accepting resumes and inquiries from anyone who's interested, so don't hesitate to contact us at jobs@theverbalvision.com. If anyone has any other quick questions, I can answer questions in this thread as well.

Thanks!
-Ryan
