Updated for accuracy on August 6, 2025.
Today’s article is on a company that hires experienced legal, medical, and general transcriptionists to work out of the comfort of their homes.
As an independent contractor for this company, you will be able to set your own hours and work independently to meet their work requirements and deadlines. Meet the company eWord Solutions.
Important Note – As of August 2025, they are NOT hiring transcribers, but this is of course subject to change. There are other remote transcriptionist jobs posted here if you want open opportunities.
What Is eWord Solutions?
eWord Solutions began in 2008 and is headquartered in Glendale, CA, with an additional office in Port Jefferson, NY. Their clients include corporate executives, lawyers, and physicians from industries such as the medical profession, insurance, and entertainment.
eWord Solutions’ mission from their first day to the present has always been to deliver transcribed documents to their clients at 99.9% accuracy. Their clients come from both the United States and Canada.
Working For eWord Solutions
The website for eWord Solutions has both a client section and a transcriptionist section. Clients are able to log in and upload their digital, video, or audio files for the transcribers.
The transcriptionist can then log into the website with their login and password, download these files, and begin transcribing them. Upon completion, the transcriptionist uploads the finished files for the client.
Transcription has a 2-hour to 24-hour turnaround, with a 3-hour turnaround for a “rush” job. It depends on how soon the client needs the transcription. However, once you accept a file, you need to finish it on or before the turnaround time.
eWord Solutions has their own proofreaders on staff, but as a transcriptionist, you are expected to be as accurate and detail-oriented as possible. You should also remember to catch unusual spellings of names or places as well as capturing when more than one person is speaking or interrupting another speaker.
eWord Solutions Contracting Pay Rate
eWord Solutions states that their pay is competitive. While many companies pay per audio hour (which can take around six hours of work), eWord Solutions pays per finished transcription page.
This equates to a rate of $0.06 per line, which averages about $2 per page.
A single-spaced page would obviously pay more than a double-spaced page. The $2 is just the average pay per page.
Pay is delivered twice a month via PayPal.
Scheduling with eWord Solutions
You are able to set your own flexible hours working from home. How many hours you want or need to work will be discussed at your interview.
You do not have to work full-time if you don’t want to work too many hours. The good news is that you can work overnight—if you need to—to meet your deadlines. As long as you are able to deliver your transcription on time, you can work on it according to your own schedule.
Basic Requirements
As with any transcription job, you will need to be a good listener with a good command of the English language. Outside of that, their basic requirements include:
- Type a minimum of 60 wpm
- Be a U.S. resident
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word
- Pass a federal, state, and local background check
As with any transcription work you may do, the important things to remember are to:
- Follow any written guidelines
- Capture every word without paraphrasing
- Correctly note external sounds and interruptions
- Use [inaudible] when needed but not in excess
- Adhere to the time-stamping requirements
Tech Requirements
As mentioned earlier, you will need to be proficient in Microsoft Word—especially Windows 10, since versions 7 and 8 are now being phased out.
You will need your own laptop or PC with antivirus and anti-malware software installed.
If you’ve been doing transcription for a while, you probably already have your own foot pedal or headset. If you don’t have these items, they do not currently list preferred equipment on the site, but this will be discussed with you during the interview.
We do have some information on the equipment transcribers typically need if you're curious about that.
Feedback on eWord Solutions
The only review that appears to be legitimate is from TopRatedLocal, which gives eWord Solutions a 3.67 out of 5-star rating. You can certainly read it for yourself from their two verified sources.
There are very few reviews available elsewhere, so it’s difficult to assess overall worker satisfaction. That said, the absence of negative reports can sometimes be a neutral sign for smaller or more specialized companies.
How to Get Started
Go to the eWord Solutions website and fill out the online application form, uploading your resume. Again, you will need to be a U.S. resident.
Once your resume has been examined, they will contact you for a transcription test and then an interview.
If hired, you will go to their website and create an account with a login and password. There is a probationary period of 60 days once you are hired, and your pay could go up after passing this period.
