Transcription or transcribing involves converting contents from audio or video to a well written document.
A transcriptionist MUST possess good and clear listening skills, because most audio or videos you'll be working on are dubbed, recorded lectures, conversations(mostly confidential), interviews etc.
If you're conversant with writing and speaking English language then you can give transcription a shot, it's a field on it's own and you can carve a career out of it.
Monetary rewards aside you can look at it from the humanitarian aspect must transcription gigs are geared towards deaf people for accessibility, so you'll be serving humanity also, which is a honor itself.
Transcriptionists take up Jobs offline as they're needed in well established organizations, but also you can work online with different sites below:
