High speed Internet

and
Buying these items can be pricey. However, there are ways to buy these items at a lower cost but it may take some investigation on your part.
One of the best places to check before you hit places like Office Depot and Best Buy is eBay.
Another item that transcription companies will require is called a foot pedal.
With a foot pedal, you are able to start, stop and rewind audio that you are transcribing with just a tap of your foot! It is very easy to use and it's help to you will literally be priceless.
A foot pedal eliminates the issue of having to take the time to stop
your tape player or cd player every 10-20 seconds to accurately
transcribe what you are hearing . All you do is tap your foot to rewind the audio (it becomes second nature when you start transcribing). I used to work in transcription and I can tell you that this item is really handy if you want to get really fast at transcribing.
Remember speed= more money per hour
In my estimation, not having a foot pedal will double the time it takes you to complete a transcription job.
Of
course seasoned transcribers may find
that they can keep up easily with the audio without having to use a foot
pedal, but if you are just starting out, it may prove an invaluable
tool for you and as I stated above, many transcription companies are now requiring that you obtain a foot pedal in order to work for them.
