Hiring a Remote Typist in the Philippines

The role of a typist is fundamental to the vast majority of businesses, regardless of size, location or industry. Without someone to enter data, transcribe notes, draft documents, complete forms and a myriad other typing services, companies can become disorganised and inefficient.

Also known as word processor operators, a typist needs to have excellent typing skills, demonstrating both speed and accuracy. An experienced operator is able to work from handwritten, printed or typed documents, as well as audio files with some being able to transcribe shorthand notes.

A typist is also an administrative specialist who not only performs typing and word processing tasks, but also a range of other office and clerical duties. Their role is both flexible and varied and may involve the following duties:

• – Transcribe information from hard copy or audio files to digital files.
• – Draft, edit and proofread documents.
• – Create, maintain and enter data into spreadsheets and databases.
• – Collate and organise online documents. 
• – Prepare documents or reports for publication.
• – Create presentations using data from spreadsheets and databases.
• – Answer phone calls and emails.
• – Respond to customer enquiries.
