There\u2019s a lot more to becoming a transcriptionist than just typing fast!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re keen to land some of the better-paying transcription gigs and truly turn this into a successful money-maker for your family, there\u2019s a course you can take that will teach you everything you need to know to become a great transcriptionist in as little as 2-4 months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritelife.com\/go\/transcribe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transcribe Anywhere<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And it works.\u00a0<\/span>I&#8217;ll break down my experience of their course in this Transcribe Anywhere review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I completed Transcribe Anywhere a couple years ago, and since finishing the course, I\u2019ve developed a successful home business as a transcriptionist.<\/span><b> In fact, I earned back the cost of the course within two months of starting my first transcription job, and I\u2019ve been able to find work with ease thanks to the skills I developed through the course.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you apply for transcription jobs, most companies require you to take a test of your ability to accurately type a short audio file. It\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll pass &#8212; and certainly makes it more challenging to move up to higher paying jobs &#8212; without training.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcribeanywhere.com\/a\/15058\/oJxb6gSp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Transcribe-Anywhere.-Affiliate-CTA-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Transcribe Anywhere.

Before you enroll, I recommend participating in a free introduction course to learn more about whether transcription is right for you, and what both courses provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Course creator, Janet Shaughnessy, knows her stuff. She\u2019s run a transcription business for more than 10 years and is familiar with all the ins and outs of the business. In addition to the online course, she\u2019s readily available via email or the student Facebook group to answer questions and give feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transcribe Anywhere: Course details&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The training you\u2019ll get in the Transcribe Anywhere course is comprehensive! It includes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foundational lessons, including punctuation practice and review of equipment and software required for transcription.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Over 60 practice files<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to transcribe as well as answer keys to check your work. You\u2019ll get to practice the full gamut of what a transcriptionist experiences in the real world, including challenging audio quality, accented speakers, and multi-speaker focus groups. The legal course includes templates of legal forms and documents, a guide to legal terminology, and ten levels of practice dictations.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>A transcription style guide,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> downloadable templates and printable cheat sheets.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Business-building modules<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help you jumpstart your career, including information on networking online, setting up a website, and where to look for work as a subcontractor. There\u2019s also a lot of helpful information about how to set your rates and how taxes work when you\u2019re self-employed.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Lifetime support,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> including full access to the course, helpful Facebook groups both for students and graduates, and email availability from the course administrators.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transcribe Anywhere also offers a \u201c100% thorough\u201d guarantee. They\u2019re confident you\u2019ll have everything you need to succeed, but if you feel there\u2019s anything missing, they\u2019ll add it into the course so you have it as part of your lifetime access. Pretty cool!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much do transcriptionists make?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Transcribe Anywhere courses provide you with all the skills you need to become an independent transcriptionist, they do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provide you with work afterward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s up to you to do the work of finding clients or companies to work with.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To set you on the right path, the course provides a lot of helpful information to find work successfully. They also make it clear up front that this is not a get-rich-quick scheme or an employment-matching service.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transcribe Anywhere reports that the average median annual income for $45,000 for a general transcriptionist and $60,000 for a legal transcriptionist.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your income will depend on whether you\u2019re doing this full-time or as a side hustle, and whether you subcontract for a company or find your own clients. <\/span><b>My own part-time income started at about $500 a month and has grown to around $2,000 a month.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with most classes or courses, its aim is to provide you with skills so that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can go out and find the work you\u2019ve trained for. After completing the course, I\u2019ve been able to pass the transcription tests companies require for employment without much difficulty because the practice dictations in the course really do prepare you for real-life work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much does Transcribe Anywhere cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s the cost for the course? The entry course is free. The General Transcription course is $597, and the Legal Transcription course is $697.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both options have payment plans available, so you can pay for the first couple of modules and complete them before paying for the entire course.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the course is advertised as self-paced, it\u2019s a little bit more complicated than that.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you purchase the full course, you do have lifetime access to it and can take as long as you want to do each module. However, if you opt for the pay-as-you-go option, you only have 30 days to complete the first section and 60 days to complete the second section. That\u2019s one place I noticed room for improvement; since the second section contains all of the practice dictations, it would be nice to have more time to truly do it at your own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Transcribe Anywhere legit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some writers might ask, wait, is Transcribe Anywhere legit?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My answer: Yes, definitely.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the course stays up-to-date! I completed the course two years ago, and the creator has updated it since then to make sure all the information is current and relevant.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Bottom line of this Transcribe Anywhere review:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the time since I\u2019ve taken the course, I\u2019ve been able to grow a successful business as a freelance transcriptionist, using the knowledge, tools and skills I developed in the Transcribe Anywhere course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to become a transcriptionist, Transcribe Anywhere is an excellent place to start.
