Currently, I transcribe remotely captioning live college and university classes. Among the list of classes I have transcribed are algebra, calculus, science, biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, botany, medical terminology, psychology, psychoeducational assessment, social work, statistics, physics, history, web development, politics, government. The job consists of live speech to text which requires the ability to type very quickly using a specialized software.
I have also always been interested in the medical field and have been able to retain a lot of information regarding medical terminology from not only the classes but also from transcribing other audio files.
Because of this I am well versed in medical terminology. I have been transcribing for approximately 30 plus years. I have transcribed audio recordings for the police department and the news which is the job called TransMonitor. This job required a lot attention to detail.
Thank you for your consideration for my application.
