Proofreader/editors – Work from Home opportunity

VIQ Solutions is a principal in the transcription industry with a longstanding history of providing recording and transcription services globally and throughout Australia. The VIQ Solutions team is seeking independent proofreaders who are passionate about leveraging cutting edge technology as a tool to increase their production and pay potential. Our contractors are a community of talented editors who are interested in getting a behind-the-scenes look at the way law enforcement and legal systems work. Our work lets you show off your proofreading skills, helps grow your experience, and gives you the flexibility of setting your own schedule. While some of our court clients have work available during more standard business hours, we have plenty of work available in the evenings, early mornings, and weekends.

High-quality documents and timeliness are of the utmost importance to our clients. Imagine someone you knew had a legal or a law enforcement issue – you’d want any conversations, notes, reports, legal proceedings, etc. to be precisely edited as possible! With this contracting position, you can help ensure true and correct documents to assist people in difficult times.
