Re: Experienced Legal Transcriptionists

Actually, I have been working for this company for almost a year
now, and can tell you they are an excellent agency to work for. I
was a little skeptical about the per page rate at first as well,
but "the dude" assured me that it would increase after the initial
training period and it did...quickly!

The other thing that convinced me was that I am not required to
proof my work, since they do a full relisten of every job anyway.
In fact, they ask you NOT to proof your work. As you know, this
cuts down considerably on the time it takes to complete a
transcript.

One more plus is that it is almost all deposition work, which you
know is much easier to transcribe than most other legal jobs. It
works out to be a very fair rate for this type of work, and I
would highly recommend anyone to apply.
