I decided to test the waters and see what companies pay for other transcription, such as medical insurance transcription. I was less than enthused to find that they no more than $25 per audio hour. Assuming an audio hour takes 2-3 hours to complete, that's between $8 and $12 an hour before taxes. There's no way of knowing if the dictation quality will be good or bad. I think it's too big a risk to sign a contract for $25 per audio hour. The companies told me that they charge the client $75 per audio hour. What do you guys think?

[ In Reply To ..]The duration of the contract is what would worry me. I would only sign a contract for perhaps a month maximum to see if it works out financially for me. I would not want to be locked into anything longer than that.
Thank you, Liz - OP
[ In Reply To ..]I'll definitely take your advice and peruse the contract in detail before signing. If I even go that route. It sounds like there might be a lot of difficult-to-hear seminars, interviews, etc.

Could there also be a section on this website for "New Opportunties for MT skills" or the like? Or "What comes next" where people could share what they are working on for the future? ...
