ONLINE TRANSCRIPTION

Business owners from all over the word are reaping the
benefits of hiring employees online; many hire virtual transcriptionists on
short-term contract. Some of these benefits are: (1) No need to hire permanent
employees, (2) No office space requirement, (3) Employers can hire employees
for short-term or long-term, (4) Payment can be made on per hour bases…
Hiring a virtual transcriptionist is beneficial for business owners in more than one way; that is why the demand for online transcriptionists is high. Many freelancers are making their living off doing transcription jobs. The pay is good; you can make more than what a decent office job pays. Doing work online means that you are in total control of making your daily work schedule. As these jobs are available 24/7, and in abundance, you can choose to do work whenever you want
There are hundreds of apps that let you search, write
emails, take notes and set appointments with your smartphone. But, for some
people, the small size of a phone's keyboard or touch screen can be limiting
and difficult to use.
If you have trouble seeing the small type, have a lack of
finger dexterity or just think better out loud, you might benefit from a tool
that allows you to convert spoken words to written words. Here's a look at
three different speech-to-text apps that can help you get things done with a lot less hassle:
1. Dragon Dictation.
This app has only one button. Simply tap it and start talking. Dragon Dictation handles the rest.
The text appears after you finish dictating, so it might take a little getting
used to. But once you get the rhythm, you can process lengthy emails and other
documents with a high degree of accuracy in one of 30 different languages or
dialects.
Once the app has transcribed your speech, you can send it
out via email or copy and paste to another application. You can also post
directly to Facebook and Twitter, or save your text to use later on. Best of
all, the app is free for the iPhone and iPad but it does require a network
connection to work.
2. Evernote for Android. Evernote was designed to help you
keep track of ideas and inspirations. You always could use the app to record
audio notes such as lectures or meetings, but now it also allows you to turn
those audio files into text.
Unlike Dragon Dictation, Evernote saves both the audio
and the text file together so you can use the app's search ability to find a
recorded note. The app can be a handy tool for recording all your thoughts at
the end of each day. Say what's on your mind, then sort through the data later.
The app is free, but because Evernote uses Google
Android's text transcription service, you do need to be online to use it.
3. Voice Assistant. This
newly redesigned app has a fast access feature that makes it even easier to
post to Twitter, Facebook or email. Switch on your preferred option and Voice Assistant converts your
transcriptions to the proper format without additional clicks.
Use the auto copy feature to send your transcriptions to
other apps such as Google Search, YouTube, Evernote or Pages. You can also send
your transcription straight to a wireless printer.
Voice Assistant uses intelligent speech recognition so it
learns with every use. It also has grammar correction and on-screen editing
with suggestions for corrections.
The app costs 99 cents and is available for the iPhone
and iPad.
