A beginning transcriptionist will usually start out in a medical clinic. Having the “right connections” can help you find a job, as well as enlisting the help of the school or company that trained you as a transcriptionist. After a few years in a clinical setting, a person would probably be in a good position to begin working out of the home, perhaps still working for the same medical clinic. Transcriptionists who work for the larger, nation-wide companies usually have extensive hospital transcription experience. Some transcriptionists who have had solid careers find themselves in teaching positions at local community schools or serving as online support for those taking course work to become transcriptionists. Beginning pay at an office can range from $8-$12 dollars with salaries up to $20 with more experience. Working out of the home can command a salary between $10-$15 an hour. Equipment used in a home business can be written off of taxes as well.
