Here’s how the TypeWell training process works:
Ensure you possess the necessary skills to succeed in the training
- Good listening and memory abilities
- Excellent English proficiency
- Typing speed of 60+ word per minute (WPM) without errors
- Basic computer knowledge
Consider your physical well-being
Transcribing involves intensive typing, so if you have a history of arm or wrist pain, this could lead to repetitive motion disorders. If you experience pain during the course, your course will be paused and you’ll be required to consult with a medical professional before being allowed to proceed.
