The Surge of Transcription in the KPO industry.

Many of you out there won't have heard about Transcription. To be honest, there are many still who, in all probability haven’t heard of KPO either.

Transcription basically is of two types in India, at least the more prominent one, or at least the one that I have heard about; those include Medical Transcription and Business Transcription.

Medical transcription is more visible in the classified section of news papers and recruiting agencies. But those of you who are not medically oriented and even those who cannot interpret medical term or name to save their life have another option, Business Transcription.

Business transcription is basically transcribing, i.e. converting one medium, spoken, probably recorded to the text medium, essentially converting one media to another.

Business transcription has become a viable option for those who don’t fancy call centers or any other back office work that KPO offers. All the job requires is descent knowledge of computers and typing skills, but these are all secondary to good hearing skills and the ability to decipher different accents and diction.

If your hearing skills are proved to be sufficient, all the other facets could be improved upon through training and practice.

Although starting pay could range between 6,000 to 8,000 Indian Rupees, if you show yourself to be good enough and have quality on your side, there is no stopping your pay scale.

The Salary could even touch as much as 40,000 per month if you are among the best.

The Business transcription Industry has predominantly night shifts, and during the peak season the shift timings could be uncertain, but, you meet great guys, take on more responsibility and get paid just rewards, and at times it could be great fun too. It also allows you the option to join part-time work.

Many college going students and even retired persons have taken the opportunity to earn a quick buck and supplement their income. Many students have even completed their higher education during their stint in this industry.

The industry is currently in the need for quality workforce, and this is the best time to negotiate your salary.

This is no novice talking gibberish, I have been associated with this industry from October of '07 and so far the sailing has been rather smooth and there have been no regrets, and there won't be any regrets for you either if you are committed enough.
