Company Description:
Formerly Clark Fork Communications, this Montana-based transcription
company hires work-at-home corporate and legal transcriptionists,
editors and researchers to perform a variety of services including
transcription, data processing and market research. Clients include
educational institutions, financial institutions, corporations,
government agencies, legal firms, online businesses and non-profit
organizations.
Types of Work-at-Home Opportunities at Birch Creek Communications:
This company hires experienced transcribers for corporate and legal transcription
work for both audio and video files. The kinds of work include files
for Social Security, Veterans Affairs, immigration departments. As is
often the case with home-based typing jobs, the work is done by independent contractors not employees. No subcontracting of work is allowed.
There is no guarantee of how much work will be available; however the
company says "transcribers that do not accept work on a regular basis
generally do not maintain a skill set that meets the needs of our
clients." Four times per year the company transcribes quarterly earning
phone calls. During this period there is a large amount of work
available.
Most corporate work requires a same day turnaround, while legal transcription may allow 3-5 days.
Qualifications and Requirements:
The company hires U.S. citizens residing in the United States. For
certain types of legal work (Social Security and/or Immigration
accounts), contractors must complete a full background check and
fingerprinting.
Transcriptionists must provide their own equipment. This includes an
Internet connection; phone line; computer with Windows XP or higher; USB
foot pedal; headset; software such as Microsoft Word and for some legal
work WordPerfect; file transfer program; instant messenger account; and
specific transcription programs. Transcriptionists must be adept at
maintain software and equipment because no technical assistance is
given.
