100 Work From Home Transcription Companies Mega-List!


Transcription jobs are usually work from home and very plentiful! It's non-phone work that you can do on your own time, and the best part is that for some branches of transcription, you don't necessarily have to have past work experience to get started. Many companies will just ask that you pass a test to prove you're capable of the work.

Today, I'm sharing with you a list of 100 work at home transcription companies that are frequently looking for new workers.
We've broken this down for you into convenient sub-categories so you can see which companies are willing to accept beginners and which ones would prefer past experience or some sort of training.
Before applying for any jobs you find below, you may want to enroll in this free 7-lesson transcription e-course you can do on your own time. It explains what transcribers do, what you can earn, and whether or not you're a good fit.
Also, some (but not all) of the companies below will want you to have transcription software and a foot pedal, plus a headset prior to starting work.
