20+ Transcription Companies that Hire on a Regular Basis

There are many jobs in transcription available, making it a great way to work at home on your own time.

It's also work that doesn't require you to be on the phone, so you don't need to worry so much about background noise.

And last but not least, transcription is flexible work, meaning most companies don't require you to stick to a schedule.

And for some types of transcription jobs, previous experience doesn't even matter! When applying for jobs, many of these companies are looking for you to prove that you are capable of the work by having you complete a skills test. If you pass, then they will most likely hire you.
