Home Typists – Speak-Write

Speak-Write (formerly known as YouDictate) are a home typist agency.  Their business is to transcribe notes, most often audio, for their clients, which they achieve by calling upon the services of a team of home typists who are registered with them.

When there are vacancies for more home typists, the jobs are advertised on their website, but it’s a very popular job, so often the books are closed. You will need to type at 60wpm to be accepted.

Rate of Pay:

The pay rate for the work is about ½ cent per word. For serious typists with good skills this will usually generate $12 – $15 per hour after a short period of working within our system. If your typing skills, speed and ability to turn around jobs efficiently and quickly are good, fast typists can earn more than $15 per hour.

You Must be a US or Canadian Resident and Fluent in English.

Typists who approach the work on a more serious, full time basis typically make considerably more per hour than those who sign up for more limited amounts of work. Increased familiarity with the operation of the SpeakWrite system and software, the efficiencies of longer periods of time ‘at work’ without interruptions and a better mix of longer, more profitable jobs assigned to them, all contribute to this increased net rate per hour. On the other hand, many SpeakWrite typists prefer to schedule their work in shorter bursts, or to sign in at less traditional hours for their assignments and the SpeakWrite system accommodates them as well. (Not having a high-speed Internet connection, an up-to-date computer, and/or the most current version of Windows may impact your earning ability.)
