Work From Home Transcription Editing at Babbletype

Do you have a good command of the English language? Can you work well under tight deadlines and pressure? Are you focused with an eye for detail? Then Babbletype might be the right work-at-home (WAH) company for you.

What Exactly is Babbletype?

Babbletype is a transcription site that offers the at-home Quality Assurance Associate/Editor or “Q&A Editor” position for its transcription services. While it does hire transcriptionists both in the US and abroad as well as customer service agents, this article will discuss the Q&A Editor position.

 
Most of the transcription at Babbletype is general transcription instead of medical transcription. So, if you must have medical transcription, you might want to look at other companies. Other languages are also offered for transcriptions services, so as the editor you must be aware of how a literal translation may sound once translated to English.

  • scoring the work of all prior staff involved in the production of the product via review of changes made.
  • making the final decision as to whether the work is at an acceptable level for delivery to the customer.

What is My Overall Impression of Babbletype?

After reading about them online, I think they are a good part-time company if you enjoy transcribing and editing. While you won’t make the $30 to $50 an hour like you would in your own transcription business, the pay is weekly and the company seems to receive good markings for fairness, professionalism and management. Mr. John Feldcamp, the CEO, seems to welcome questions and frequents forums to answer them.
I also think this would be a good work-at-home job to do while you gained experience and started your own transcription business.
