Transcription Company That Welcomes Independents And Homeworkers

TruTranscripts, a division of RIM, Inc., 9 East 37th Street – 8th Floor, New York, NY 10016 notes on their website that they are a national transcription company that specializes in time code, media, financial and pharmaceutical/medical transcription work.

To find career information, it was necessary to search the site map, which was located at the bottom right of the web page. Transcription Careers was a link choice with very little information other than noting they also welcome independent and home transcribers. Particularly, there isn’t any information whether or not you need to live close to their office; quite possibly, you do not. A PDF application form is provided together with the fax number to send it to them.

A left-hand sidebar scrolls with a list of companies that are their clients so that you can see some well-known names among them.

If I was looking to apply, (and this criteria would be the same at any transcription service), I would want to make certain that none of the transcription work involved matters that I would personally find objectionable.

If you decide to fill out the application to fax to them, make certain that you also include a professional looking cover letter. That can help set you apart from your competition. Note also that one of the questions on the application is “earnings per hour expected”. Give that some very careful thought and thorough research before answering; you don’t want to price your services too low or inordinately high if you know you are a good match for the work.
