Kofi Borsah immigrated from Ghana, West Africa, to the United States in 2011 and is employed with the U.S. Postal Service in Arizona.  To help support his family of three children and his wife, Kofi wanted a second career that he could do part time from home on nights and weekends.  He found the perfect solution with Learn to Transcribe Academy's online Legal Transcription course.  After completing his lectures and passing all the tests and examinations, Kofi earned his Certificate of Completion in March of 2023.  The good news is that he began receiving paid transcription work immediately and has also been referred to two other companies.  Even though Kofi recognizes that his accent makes it a bit difficult for some to perhaps understand his every word, he continually works on his enunciation.  His written English is very good and enables him to return great quality transcripts, and we know that Kofi will excel in the field of litigation transcription.  We wish him all the best!

Bridgitt Myers is driven and determined.  She comes from a family of loyal, hardworking, and successful people.  Having helped her husband before his death, and now her two grown sons, manage a cash crop farm in Michigan, she loves to see things grow from beginning to end.  That helped prompt her interest in courtroom trials, to see and hear the whole story from start to finish.  As a former medical transcriptionist, Bridgitt wanted to learn the legal side, so she found Learn to Transcribe Academy online, enrolled, and has now graduated!  Bridgitt mentions in the podcast how she really liked the ability to just follow along all of the detailed how-to videos and lectures.  In addition, she appreciated the numerous downloads and personal coaching assistance she received and is now ready to launch into her new career as a legal (litigation) transcriptionist.  She will be working remotely from her own home in Michigan and be able to manage her schedule around other activities.  There's nothing better than having family time, occasionally helping out with the farm, and still being able to make a good living with transcription.  She says if someone is on the fence, jump and get started as she did.  Listen to Bridgitt's story here and please leave comments.

Podcast hostess, Linda Wilson, gives her thoughts about general transcription in this episode.  Questions are answered regarding whether training is needed, different types of general transcription work, and money paid for this kind of work.  General transcription covers a wide variety of audio files that are not medical transcription, not legal transcription, and not law enforcement transcription.  Basically anything else falls into the category of general transcription which is ideally suited for beginners or those with no transcription experience.  For many, general transcription is a good place to start a transcription career!  Tune in to hear Linda's opinions!
