How to Start Transcript Proofreading

Some online proofreading courses might suggest a proofreading business coach as a way to start your proofreading career, get clients, and advertise your proofreading services, but a coach is not necessary. With a transcript proofreading course, you get a certificate of completion that will prove to clients that you are a competent and certified freelance proofreader. 

In Proofread Anywhere’s, online proofreading courses we teach you how to correct errors, provide you with proofreading exercises, and explain the proofreading process. You’ll also learn the differences between proofreading and editing and how to sharpen your proofreading skills. After completing one of our courses, you’ll be fully ready to start a career in proofreading. 

Proofreading for Court Reporters as a Side Hustle

While general proofreading is great for most freelance proofreaders, transcript proofreading can offer a higher pay rate and more consistent clients. As most court reporters work regular full-time jobs and need regular proofreading, getting a court reporter as a client creates reliable part-time or full-time work.

You can choose to transcript proofreading as a work-from-home career, or just as a side hustle to make extra money. The choice is yours and the opportunities are endless! Want to learn more? Our blog has great resources on how to become a proofreader and how much proofreaders make.
