Legal Transcription Training Course
Why Legal Transcription?
Legal transcriptionists transcribe legal dictation creating legal documents for attorneys and other entities. A legal transcriptionist must have a good command of legal terminology and how different documents are formatted. It is well suited to working from home since the files can easily be moved electronically. Legal transcriptionists are commonly paid by the page, which is a production based job. The going rate for a page is approximately $2.00-$3.00 per page which translates to about $15 to $20 an hour
