Apply to type for us

We are looking for experienced medical transcribers to join our team and type dictated letters and notes for medical practitioners.

If you are interested then please click on the button below, do not email or phone us separately.

DICT8 provides medical transcription services to the NHS and private practitioners. Our service allows them to outsource their medical transcription requirements. They dictate their letters in the normal way, and we provide them with typed documents that are returned to them securely through the internet, ready to be checked, signed and sent.

Benefits for transcribers

• You can manage your own work-flow: you decide how much transcription you wish to undertake- you are paid on a per line of transcription basis. You can also decide when you want to work and when you want to take time off. There is no minimum or maximum amount that you have to do.

• You can work from home: all you need is a PC or Mac with a modern web browser (such as Google Chrome) and a reliable internet connection.

• As you remain a self-employed contractor you can do our transcription in conjunction with, or instead of, any other employment that you may have. It can provide you with either a main source of income or supplement your existing pay.

How it works

• The doctor dictates as usual, using our free smartphone app or a digital dictation machine.

• The dictation is uploaded securely to the DICT8 server.

• The transcriber views a list of available work through their web browser and picks an available task.

• The task is transcribed using the web browser to both listen to and type up the dictation.

• The doctor or their secretary can then check, download and send the finished letter.

• The transcriber invoices DICT8 Ltd. on a monthly basis for the transcription work that they have done.

The application process

• First, you will need to fill in the online form, accessed by clicking on the button below

• Once we have received it, you should receive an emailed response within 24 hours (during the working week). Please do not contact us by email or telephone to check that we have received the form until a couple of days have elapsed.

• Note that we only accept applications from experienced medical secretaries– if you have not had extensive medical transcription experience in the NHS then please do not apply. We will also require a reference from either a consultant or line manager within a Trust.

• If we decide to progress your application then we will require a written reference from a line manager or consultant within your Trust. It may be worthwhile organising this now in order to avoid any delays.

• In order to use the system you will need an internet-connected PC or Mac. You do not need to install anything on your computer other than a modern web browser such as Google Chrome, and you do not need a transcription kit or foot pedal, although you can use a foot pedal if you wish.
