"Erica did a great job with our webinar transcription job. Definitely would recommend her." "Erica was really easy to work with. She is fast, approachable and communicative and she also adheres to deadlines. Would definitely recommend her and rehire her for future opportunities." These are just a few of my comments from happy satisfied clients of mine on Upwork! I have a number of years of administrative/secretarial experience, which included computer work, EMR knowledge, writing correspondence, transcribing reports/dictations, and more. I also have a number of years experience as a medical secretary/transcriptionist where I did all aspects of front desk/insurance/EMR, as well as transcribe the Doctor's audio dictations into Word format. I am used to poor as well as good audio quality. My recent online experience has been transcribing verbatim and non-verbatim assignments in ALL areas and subjects. Legal, Medical, Educational, Technical, Speeches, Interviews, Groups, Podcasts, Webinars, Videos, accent, no accent, and many more. I have over thirty six hundred hours worked on Upwork and have excellent comments from previous and present employers. I pride myself on being a hard worker, that follows directions, producing fast but accurate results. I like what I do and it shows in my work! I love learning about new subjects and perfecting my craft in transcribing. I will work with you to make sure the final product not only meets your expectations, but also exemplifies the high degree of work I aim to achieve. I also strive to always broaden my horizon with new skills and learn new jobs! I have a degree in Sociology with a Minor in Business. I also have done a few trainings in transcription. Strong organizational skills, a self starter who can handle multiple tasks, good communication skills, pleasant and personable, excellent computer and typing skills. If this sounds like someone you want on your team or project, send me a message or proposal!

I am very detail-oriented and love working on the computer. I create an Excel spreadsheet out of anything I can think of for fun in my free time. I am a fast typer, but would love to improve. I recently took a 2-minute test on monkeytype and typed 97wpm with 97% accuracy. I love puzzles and like any jobs where I can organize things in a way that seems to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together. I like to accomplish projects. I have been found being late to pick my kids up from events because I got side-tracked at the used bookstore alphabetizing their books, or at Wal-mart organizing the LEGO shelves. I have also beta-read many books in The Green Ember Series by S.D. Smith and a friend's currently unpublished historical fiction book, Spero. I am very old-school and strongly dislike AI, so please do not send me a job offer to help make AI better.

I am here to offer you my expert services as a transcriber. and video captioner. I have been a transcriptionist since 2010 on several different projects as well as with a few people for long-term work. I've worked on books, webinars, podcasts, radio shows, interviews, conferences; a little bit of everything, both general and medical. You can see from my feedback how happy my past clients are with my deliverables. Rates are based on number of speakers, quality of audio, and turnaround time. Prices are fair, because you certainly get what you pay for in this industry. Larger companies may be a little lower, but everything is done through automation without that personal touch. You require quality, professional, quickly delivered documents that require no editing and are public-facing ready. That is exactly what I can provide for you. Also, please note that the hourly rate listed is for 10 minutes of transcribed audio, so an hour of audio will be billed for 6 working hours. You're basically paying for a completed product, not typing speed or how long it takes to finish. Please contact me for rates for video subtitling/captioning. My turn-around time is fast; usually 48 hours or less, depending on the length of the audio. I can provide verbatim documents or those with ready-to-read edits. I do not use automated software as I do not believe it returns a quality product. Please contact me today for a quote! Thanks, Sarah Mason
