What is The ABCs of Transcription course?

The ABCs of Transcription: From Audio/Video to Text is a beginner-level accelerated transcription course from Transcribe Anywhere founder Janet Shaughnessy. It covers transcription types, tools, typing and listening skills, grammar, notation conventions, practice files in both general and legal transcription, and how to find and bill clients. It is priced at $27.

How is The ABCs of Transcription different from the full courses?

The ABCs of Transcription is an accelerated beginner introduction priced at $27 with a three-week access window. The full General Transcription and Legal Transcription courses offer lifetime access, more comprehensive training, 60+ practice files, a community, instructor support, a final exam, and a Certificate of Completion. The ABCs course is a great starting point before committing to the full program.

How much do freelance transcriptionists earn?

The average freelance transcriptionist earns between $40,000 and $70,000 per year, depending on speed, accuracy, specialization, and whether they work for companies or build their own client base. Legal transcriptionists typically earn toward the higher end of this range.

Is this course suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. The ABCs of Transcription is designed specifically for people with little or no transcription experience. It starts with the fundamentals — tools, typing, listening, and grammar — and builds up to practice files and client-finding strategies, making it an ideal entry point into the field.

As Seen On:

Isn’t it time you finally figured out how to live life on your own terms?

You really can decide for yourself when, where, and how often you’ll work. What will it take for you to believe in yourself and gather the skills needed to do it?

I did it and so have our hundreds of successful graduates. Here’s what Kim L. says:

"After finishing the course, I immediately found work! Funny thing -- I applied at four different places and ended up with five interviews. The first one has kept me busy. I have as much or as little work as I want. I am an independent contractor. They are the best people to work for. They are fun, understanding, AND have plenty of work to keep you busy. There is a test you have to take and you have to pay for your background check, buy hey -- as an independent contractor, that is a tax write off!"

Do you...

Know that you want to make some real changes, but fear is holding you back?
Don’t really believe you can make a decent living as a transcriptionist?
Feel like you’re barely keeping up with your day-to-day life and that your current work situation is leaving you so tired and burned out that you’re leaving the ones you love most with just what’s left over from your busy days?
Need to supplement your income, but taking on a second “job” seems impossible?

Does any of that resonate with you?

Let’s talk about how we can change all that by developing your transcription skills.

What if you could finally “log off” from work every day and be fully present with your loved ones whenever you’d like?
What if you could supplement your income without leaving the comfort of your home?
What if you could gain confidence in your skills and overcome your fear?

Would it surprise you to know that the average freelance transcriptionist earns between $40,000 and $70,000 per year?

Meet the Instructor

I’m Janet Shaughnessy and I’m the creator and founder of Transcribe Anywhere and owner of Zoom Transcription Services.

I went from broke and exhausted to financially stable and living a life I never dreamed I would have and I owe it all to my transcription skills. Transcribe Anywhere has been my passion project for the past eight years and I love what we do here! To date I’ve trained hundreds of students to successful careers of their own.

Back up to 2006 when I started Zoom Transcription Services. I was forced into finding a way to work from home when my husband became disabled.

After much wasting of time and money that I couldn’t afford to lose, I had a lightbulb moment. Transcription! I had a skill that I could use to generate an income. Skills will always equal the ability to earn. If you can offer something that others can’t do, you can succeed.

I’ll never forget the moment when I landed my first transcription job. I was too excited for words! It’s been a journey and an achievement that I’ll never forget.

Today, my businesses consistently generate the income that I need to support my family and enjoy as much free time as I choose.

You can do it too just like Chiu did:

"Thank you so much, Janet, for establishing Transcribe Anywhere. I wouldn't be able to become a transcriptionist without your selfless efforts to set up this amazing course. I wish to dedicate my heartfelt gratitude to you and Marsha for guiding all of us in TA. I'm positive there will be a lot more people who aspire to become transcriptionists but have no idea how and where to start. That was me a year ago. Now, I have a career as a professional transcriber. I'm tearing up as I type. Signing up for this course was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Thank you so, so much."

This is why I do what I do!
