Work from home!!!!
No chance of Working from home until you have worked in office on all types of accounts (including plenty of lousy audios and/or dictators for 2-3 years). I too had got suckered by the renowned Shri Venu Gopala Rao Sureini of Andhrascribe, Hyderabad, on online training with broken promise of a job on successful completion of training. His training material comprised of material that he had collected from various free MT training sites. Nothing was from his own so called production units which I am sure were only on paper. My case was different. I had already worked in office for a couple of years after taking an office based 6-month course with a production unit. On starting to work from home I had taken this online course. I was under the impression that Andhrasribe would provide me exposure to working on various online platforms which alas was not the case. He too issued me a worthless certificate on completion and wanted me to carry out a similar program in my area, i.e., get suckers for him. Best to take training in house with a reputable training institute or production unit. However, keep in mind that MT is a very professional and demanding skill that pays peanuts. A plumber would earn more than a HMT. In my opinion, general/business/media/etc. audio/video transcription are no better. BEWARE. Most of these firms posting online training are going through a lean period made worse what with the Christmas/winter holidays around the corner.
