Check with your local clinics and hospitals. Some hire out transcriptionists. I do at home transcription for our a police dept in a nearby big city part-time along with my full-time job but now that the baby is here they said they'd pay me more to do transcription full-time at home instead of part-time. It's sooooo tempting. Check your law enforcement depts too. I get $12.00 an hour but I'm my own employer so I have to pay taxes but on average I type so fast that I make more like $15 an hour.

Where you listen to a recording of a doctor and you type what he says. There are usually short courses at tech colleges. I went for a year but got my diploma. I live near the Mayo Clinic and they offer an in house program that's like 6 wks long but I don't think it's for at home transcriptionists yet.

I am a medical transcriptionist who is on my second pregnancy and LOVING working from home. My 2-year-old daughter loves it too. It is a very very good job to get into. I too took a 14 month course and got my diploma. I lucked out on my externship and am still with that lady working for two hospitals at home. check out site mtdaily.com.
