By Tere

Working at home is important to mom’s that want to keep their children out of daycare. This takes some quick thinking if they need to work to help support the family. What can a mom with small children at home do to make money? She can be a transcriptionist. This type of work is available more so than any other work at home job. You can work for an online company or send out cards to local organizations advertising your services.

Some transcribers take a transcription class to learn how to use the different equipment, but this is not always necessary if you are a fast typist with a computer and a Windows Media player. Most companies online are looking for a fast typist with the ability to transcribe interviews, meeting minutes and even notes dictated with the use of a MP3 player such as Windows Media player.

The client usually sends the MP3 files through an Internet server that allows large audio files to be sent. Sendthisfile.com is a popular place that people use to send out files to the transcriber. You as the receiver, downloads the file to your computer and you can work on the file right away or do it when you have time depending on the agreed to completion time.

If you have coding and medical transcription skills, you can apply at local clinics and hospitals. Many doctors seek offsite transcribers because it is cheaper than hiring a full time employ and paying health benefits. Outsourcing has become very popular with the medical profession. If you do not have the medical coding skills, you can take an online certification program and learn everything you need to know.
