Read the five tips below that will help you to grow as a transcriptionist by
improving you typing speed and accuracy.
One of the easiest ways to improve your typing speed is to type a lot. Make a
habit of transcribing a couple of audio files every day for practice. You can
find free audio files to transcribe on YouTube.
Before starting on type, makes sure you are following the correct typing
technique. For example, you should type with both hand and one of your
thumb fingers should always be on keyboard. This is the basic principle of
typing fast.
Make sure your body is positioned comfortably before starting to type. Sit in
a comfortable chair with your back inwards. Moreover, use a table at good
height to allow you wrists and fingers to the rest on the keyboard. The lower
part of your body should also be comfortable and your feet firmly on the
ground.
When your finger or wrists start getting tired, take a break. Taking short
breaks occasionally as you work is important to remain productive. The breaks help to alleviate strains on the eyes and fatigue on the fingers and
wrists.
