Comment on How To Become A Transcriptionist: Free Step-by-Step Guide For Beginners by Kat Lewis

Hello Maddie, and thank you for the kind words.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having a difficult time becoming a transcriptionist and finding work. My suggestion would be to start a freelance gig on Upwork or Fiverr, offering transcription service. The nice thing about freelancing is the fact there are many top-rated professionals from countries all over the world offering services to anyone regardless their location.

As far as a foot pedal is concerned, it’s a good tool to have – making transcription work flow quicker and easier – but it is not a requirement. Without a foot pedal, you’ll use your mouse and keyboard to do some functions (playback, forward, pause), which adds time to your overall transcription.

I hope I gave you some useful advice. If you continue to struggle with this line of work, maybe we can brainstorm other ideas.

Dear Kat,
What a wonderful blog you have! Thank you for all the helpful advice. It seems that, although I am very interested to learn about becoming a great transcriptionist, I can’t apply to any of the sites that you mentioned above. I live in Romania now. I have lived in the UK for the last 13 years, but based on my location now, I can’t seem to get very far. It doesn’t matter if I am a qualified translator or work hard or had taken the Udemy courses in Transcription to start this. Do you have any advice? I do not think Romania does a lot of transcribing either. I could not find a foot pedal anywhere, but abroad. Nobody even knew what I was asking. Any ideas what to do? Thank you. Maddie
