We are looking for a detail-oriented and efficient Transcriptionist to join our team. As a Transcriptionist, you will be responsible for listening to audio recordings and converting them into accurate written documents. This role requires excellent listening skills, fast and accurate typing abilities, and a strong command of grammar and punctuation. You will work with a variety of audio content, including medical, legal, business, and general transcription, depending on the needs of the organization.
The ideal candidate will have experience with transcription software and tools, and be comfortable working independently to meet tight deadlines. You must be able to distinguish between different speakers, understand various accents, and ensure that the final transcript is free of errors. Confidentiality and discretion are essential, especially when handling sensitive or private information.
In this role, you may also be required to edit and proofread transcripts, identify and flag unclear audio, and communicate with clients or team members to clarify content. Familiarity with industry-specific terminology, such as medical or legal jargon, is a plus. This position may be remote or office-based, depending on the employer’s requirements.
We value individuals who are self-motivated, organized, and committed to delivering high-quality work. If you have a passion for language, a keen ear for detail, and the ability to work under pressure, we encourage you to apply for this position.
