Updated 6/7/19Looking for some work at home typing jobs? Here are six legit companies who may hire you! (Pay will vary.)A lot of people want to begin their work from home journey with an entry level job to gain some experience. One of these positions I’m often asked about is at home typing jobs.

Typing jobs can be very different and there’s often more to them than just “typing.”

Before I show you where to find these jobs I thought it would be a good idea to go over the different types of work you might find.

Different Types of Typing Jobs

Just like the term “typing jobs” can be very broad so are data entry and transcription. I’ll give you the basics but just remember you’ll be doing specifics when you land a job!

Data Entry

Data entry is simply taking data provided by a company and entering it into some sort of system or spreadsheet. This could be entering payroll items into a system for employers, cataloging items into a system for retailers, and compiling lists of customer interactions for businesses, just to name a few.

The type of data entry job you get just depends on the industry you’re working with.

Most data entry jobs do not require a college education. You will need to have good communication skills, grammar, and of course, computer experience.

Transcription

Transcription is another type of work from home job that is interchangeably used with data entry and typing jobs. At the most basic level transcription is simply typing audio versions of documents. This could be lectures, workshops, conference calls, podcasts, and more.

With work at home transcription you are working off of recorded audio and no college degree is usually required for work from home transcription jobs.

Where to Find Work From Home Typing Jobs

Ready to find a job? Here are some companies that offer work from home positions.

3PlayMedia – 3PlayMedia hires contractors to transcribe and edit audio-based transcription. Work is very flexible. Pay is $10-$30 per hour, depending on efficiency. (The best paying job on this list.) You can apply here.

AI Media – AI Media hires contractors to caption both live and prerecorded videos. Pay ranges from $27-$42 per audio hour. Your hourly wage will depend upon your speed and accuracy. You can apply here.

Rev– Rev hires beginner transcriptionists and has a “work when you want” type of model. Pay is .40 – .70 per audio minute for transcriptionists and $5-$8 per minute for subtitlers. Your pay will depend upon your accuracy and speed. You can apply here.

TranscribeMe – TranscribeMe hires beginner transcriptionists and has a “work when you want” model based on the amount of work they have available. Average pay is $15-$22 per audio hour. Your pay will depend upon your speed and accuracy. You can apply here.https://workhub.transcribeme.com/Account/Register

Quicktate – QuickTate hires work from home typists to transcribe voice messages and various audio files. You’ll have to take a quiz to see if you qualify for a position with them and also pass a background check. No college degree is needed. You can apply here.

Dion Data Solutions – Dion Data Solutions hires part time data entry specialists. You must be able to type at 60 wpm, have a computer running Windows XP, and a stable internet connection. Dion Data Solutions provides all training for free. You can apply here.

Scribie – Is a transcription company that hires independent contractors to transcribe short audio files. The pay is $5 to $25 per 1 hour of audio. They also pay a $10 bonus on a monthly basis for every three hours’ worth of audio transcribed. All work is on a first come first serve basis and is expected to have a two hour turnaround time. If performance is good you can move up from a transcriber to a reviewer. You can apply here.

Aberdeen – Aberdeen hires real time captionists and transcribers. You can visit this page to see the current job openings they have available. If there is a job you’re interested in you can view the instructions at the top of the page to apply.

Micro Jobs for Typing

Micro jobs are small jobs paid on a per-piece basis. An example might be a typing job that requires five minutes of your time to complete and pays $1.50. These jobs are a work-when-you-want type of thing and there may not be enough work in these to bring a full time income.

Click Worker – With Click Worker you can complete a number of writing and transcription micro jobs. After filling out a qualification assessment you’ll be shown a list of jobs based on your results. You’re free to work when you want to. You can sign up visit this page

Amazon MTurk – Mechanical Turk is another micro job site. Once you sign up you’ll be able to see “HITS” which are short assignments that cover a broad range of tasks. It’s important to note that not all HITS will be typing work related. You can sign up here.

Looking for some work at home typing jobs? Here are six legit companies who may hire you! (Pay will vary.)How Much Can You Make?

That really depends upon several factors, namely being the company you choose to sign up with, your speed, and your skills.

Typing jobs are not extremely high paying. I would expect to make anywhere from $7-$15 per hour.

Would I Recommend You Get an At Home Typing Job?

Honestly, it really depends on what kind of income and work you’re looking for. The barrier to entry on online typing jobs is low, that means the pay is low also. If you find your own clients you’ll make much more money.

I put this post together because so many people ask me about this type of work. But I hands down feel like freelancing is the way to go with almost all work from home jobs.

At home typing jobs can be a great first step to get your foot in the door with work from home positions but it appears you’re going to have to put in a lot of work to make a livable wage. If you’re wanting to help supplement your family’s income or are just looking for some easy work to fill up some time or as a side hustle, then one of these jobs might be a good fit.

    Great coverage of the different options for “typing” jobs and how to go about getting started. I imagine that someone looking to supplement their family income by working from home could use this as an effective guide.

  2. Tara @ Streets Ahead Living says

    Great list! One thing you may not know is that all reality television shows need transcribers. If you’re a good typist and are good with computers, you can get transcription work that pays pretty decent for the glut of reality television out there. All I mean by good with computers is you need to be able to download and watch the episode clips they send you, being able to pause and restart all while typing. Once you get the hang, it goes well. This kind of work can be hard to come by at first, but once you get into it and a good reputation for turnaround, TV people will seek you out with all of their projects. Note, this is only needed for reality television because editors scan text for useful footage to add to their shows. Scripted shows are already scripted so there’s no need for transcription.

    • Jill W says

      I have worked for a transcription company from home transcribing mainly US reality TV shows for the last 12 months but have quit because the pay was so poor (less than half the UK minimum wage). Can you tell me how you go about finding this kind of work independently as now I have the relevant experience and equipment this is something I would certainly like to find out more about? Hope you can help me here!

      • Chonce says

        Hi Jill, you can search for freelance transcriptionist jobs online and update your resume to send to potential clients. This post shares details about how to land entry-level transcription jobs but since you have some experience, I’d recommend reaching out to clients directly and pitching them on your services: https://singlemomsincome.com/entry-level-online-transcription-jobs/ You can cold pitch if you come across a website or potential client that may need your help, or you can apply through job boards.

  9. SArah says

    Thats a great post, thank You for the info.. I was wondering if you had any rccomendations apart from Upwork/Elance for entry level freelancers?

  10. fran says

    Just an FYI, Quickrate requires you to pay $15 for your own background check. You cannot simply give them one, if you already have it. Scribie, the pay is a joke. Transcribe 6 minutes of audio for $1. Whether it takes 10 minutes or 2 hours, it’s $1, from beginning to end.

  12. Benita manasse says

  20. Christy says

    I am a single mom of 2 beautiful kids & have been struggling to get a home business going from home for quite a few years. I live in a house that is needing to be knocked down as soon as i can find a place to live that’s affordable. But in my area now, its almost impossible now because of the economy. I would like to start earning money to get my debt paid off & move into a house that would be fit for my kids & I so we don’t have to move again. Can anyone please help me? I have a student loan debt & struggling to make ends meet with the help of my church. I’ve tried to get into the Amazon affiliate but they want more money & I am not getting any help from my ex-husband. I have also tried other businesses too & they want more money as well

    • Chonce says

      Hi Estell most online jobs are available internationally, but to be safe, I’d check on the specific website or ask the person of contact if you can perform the job. Good luck!

  23. Jaime says

    Is there anyway you can delete the comments of people requesting a job?
    It downgrades the valuable information you have provided for people who are genuinely interested in working as freelancers legitimately from home.

    I appreciate your article it’s concise and informative.

      Hi Elizabeth. you should apply for one of the options mentioned in this post. Please note Aberdeen is currently not hiring anyone for transcription work, but you should check back with them in a few weeks just in case something opens up.

  36. aLKA says

    Hey Alexa thanks, i was looking for that types of places that hire work from positions and i got it from your sites.
    Out of this four list which one is best can you suggest me please??

    • Chonce says

      It looks like Aberdeen is not hiring any transcriptionists right now. If you’re a beginner, Scribie may be a good option but you won’t earn much. You should try to apply with either Quicktate or Dion Data Solutions.

  38. Esme says

    Thanks Alexa for all your tips and advice. I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am a pensioner and need an income…require typing jobs from home. I have worked as PA/Secretary for most of my working career…good English and typing skills. Do you know of any legitimate market research sites for sharing opinions.

  39. Carryn says

    I was wondering if any of the above sites for “typing from home” apply to us in South Africa?

  41. Ingrid Norton says

    Thank you for all the information posted. I appreciate it! Another work from home opportunity if you have a bachelors degree is vipkid.us. You can make anywhere from $15-22 per hour teaching English via internet to kids in China. It is so much fun. I started this last October 2016. You are required to work 7.5 hours per week sometime during these specific times: Mon-Thu. 4 am-8 am /Fri.4am -8am; 7pm- 12 am/ Sat. 12 am-8am; 7pm-12am/Sun. 12am- 8am. You are also required to wear a bright orange shirt (all the teachers wear orange so they look alike…like construction worker orange. It’s a great job if you have kids at home, but feel you want to contribute to the family income in some way without leaving the kids at a daycare. All the best! Ingrid Norton
