Live in the Austin area and interested in being a transcriber?

We are always in need of more typists. This position requires excellent spelling and grammar, an extensive vocabulary,
proficiency in WordPerfect, and a typing speed of 80-90 WPM. You must have an IBM-compatible computer, preferably with
WordPerfect already installed. This position is really not suitable for a second job.
We do our transcription on IBM-compatible computers, using Wordperfect software. You bring work in on floppy disks,
we do the printing. We have several versions of WordPerfect in the office, and transcribers use versions ranging
from 5.1 for DOS to version 10 for Windows. You must have your own computer with WordPerfect software, and you must
be proficient in the use of WordPerfect and basic computer functions such as making new folders (directories) and copying
and moving files. It's very helpful to be conversant with creating and using WordPerfect macros.
We will furnish a transcribing machine for your use during the first six months, if you choose. By the end of that
time, you should purchase your own transcriber; we can recommend a source. You will need to purchase a set of headphones
which effectively block out outside noises, so that you can hear the tape well. We can show you the type to purchase.
Your work will be on a trial basis initially, while both of us see if the work is acceptable for our needs.

While you are in training, you will be required to come to the office and type, usually for three to five days, while
we teach you the basics of this work. Then you could take work home and work there from that point on. During
the training time in the office and for the first job you take home, you will be paid $6.00 an hour. As soon as you
demonstrate that you are hearing accurately and have learned format properly, the pay will be 60 cents a page. (A good typist
types 12-15 pages an hour; an excellent one, more than 20. Most typists reach this point within three to four months;
a few take a little longer.) You must turn in proofread work.
Once you have been trained, you will be expected to type a minimum of 250 pages a week when needed. You
are welcome to type more if you want to earn more money. Many times we need more pages than that from each typist.
