Transcription Business


How is the Business Transcription works?
Business Transcription can be defined as the service of converting audio files into verbatim transcripts for companies across industries for all type of business.

For an example,during a meeting, the meeting coordinator captures the meeting, records it as an audio file, and sends it for transcribing it. The transcriber in turn listens to the audio file, transcribes it and sends it back to the client as a text format. This is called a Business Transcription.

A
transcriber / transcriptionist is someone who types up material that is given to them via a recording ( on either a cassette or digital file) They must type this up word for word. A special tape player (called a dicta phone or transcriber), equipped with a foot pedal(A foot pedal for example to start and stop the audio file) and headset, is used to listen to the taped recordings. A .wav pedal and related software are used to transcribe digitally recorded dictation.

If you have the necessary transcription skills (quick typing skills, good proofreading skills, an ability to work alone and under pressure for long periods of time and the ability to handle the relevant terminology) along with the right equipment to do the job, medical or legal transcription could be the best home based-business for you.

  • voice recording equipment,foot controls, microphones, and telephone recording devices.
  • require standard office equipment such as printer, scanner,computer.
  • require dictionaries and reference materials should you need to look up terms and spelling of words used by others.

Just having a computer at home and knowing how to type is definitely not enough to become a working, successful medical transcriptionist. Apart from that, the real foundation for this field is a love for the English language and outstanding grammar skills.

Trading online business


Frankly speaking, you will find out that there is a millions of investment programs such as real estate, stock trading, bond trading, mutual funds, CDs, auction programs and various Internet programs in the Internet nowsadays. There is a lot of income opportunities out there on the Internet.

For me, I had involve in the Foreign currency trading so called FOREX. Perhaps you know about only stock trading or bond trading which are common, but not currency trading. Currency trading is a 2.5 trillion dollars daily business and it is larger than all the stock trading in the world combined.

Before i talk further, by the way what is currency trading / Forex?
Forex is refer to foreign exchange of which the Currencies are traded in pairs, meaning that you are really trading one currency for another. What is traded on the foreign exchange?The answer is money.


A simple way to understand this is to consider what you do when you go on foreign vacations. If you are an American (for example), and you plan to travel to another country, say Canada, then you might take say $1,000 USD to the bank to change it for Canadian dollars. Let’s say the exchange rate is 1.4000, then for your $1,000 USD they would give you $1,400 CAD (ignore bank spreads/commissions). Now let’s say you didn’t spend the money and upon coming home you decide to change it back to USD currency. Now let’s say the exchange rate is 1.3700 (a change of 300 pips that could happen in a week), so your $1,400 CAD would convert back to $1,021.89 US (again, ignore bank spreads/commissions). Therefore you just made $21.89, a 2.19% increase in funds (not bad).

The four majors currency pairs traded in the world which is as listed below:
  • EUR/USD (euro/dollar)
  • GBP/USD (British pound/dollar)
  • USD/CHF (dollar/Swiss franc)
  • USD/JPY (dollar/Japanese yen)
Why choose forex trading ?
There are many benefit and advantages to trading forex.Here are just a few as shown:
  • A 24 hours market.Form Sunday evening through Friday afternoon, the forex market never sleep.This is very good for those who want to trade for a part time basis,because you can choose when you want to trade - morning, noon or night.
  • Low capital investment compared to the capital required to trade stocks.
  • Focus your trading on a few currency pairs instead of thousands of stock.
  • Leverage your money and your time. Frankly, no other market provides the leverage that the Forex can. You can effectively control US$10,000 by investing US$100…that is 100 to 1 leverage.
  • Free Demo Account, News, Charts and Analysis.Most online Forex brokers offer free 'Demo' accounts to practice trading.

How to trade forex?
  • In currency trading , all that you've to do is open an account with one of the brokers with as little as $100 or up $2000.
  • Then follow simple instructions to buy or sell the currencies. For example, you buy (EUR/USD) Euros with U.S. Dollars anticipating an increase in the value of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. If the Euro rises against the U.S. Dollar, you can close the trade having made a profit.
  • In the Forex market you may buy or sell currencies. You can make profits when the market is going up if you bought the market. You also can make profits when the market is going down if you sold the market.
  • You don't even have to be stuck sitting behind your computer buying and selling these foreign currencies.
  • You can enter all your buy trades and specify the sell prices you desire and then log off.
  • Whenever the values of these foreign currencies rise and your selling prices reach, the currencies will be automatically sold for you and you make money!
Currency trading, considered is the most profitable and attractive Internet income opportunity since you can do it from home or office and from any country around the world.Investing in the currency trading can be an extremely profitable experience. However, I will recommend that do not open a live trading account until you are trading profitably on a demo account.Drill this in your head : there are no shortcuts to forex trading, it takes lots and lots of time to master.

if you want to make millions by trading freely at home, if you want to have financial freedom by trading Forex; you better LEARN Forex trading before you start trading Forex. Forex market is definitely not a game for newbie and you need to brush up your skills before getting your hands wet.

Happy Trading!
