What kind of computer programmes do audio typists and data entry clerks use? Is it hard to get these types of jobs if I don't know about the computer programmes?

I used to do a lot of audio typing. The computer was 'normal' and I used Word and then the audio machine with headphones and foot pedal. Why don't you look at job websites to see if there are any audio typists jobs that give more details on the package? Good luck.

Most companies will use programmes like word, if they use a programme just for them then they will train you to use it, they usually do a speed test and accuracy test, the last company i did audio typing for only wanted a typing speed of 35wpm, i think that this is usually the norm. There are websites on the internet that you can practice on that will tell you how many words per minute you type.

The most popular word processing software is Microsoft Word via foot operated tape or cassette transcriber players. In the legal field, wav., mp3 or dss files are imputted directly into a computer program called Start Stop Universal which is a piece of software that allows a footpad to operate the movement of the transcribed material.
Good luck!

Microsoft packages, Excel, MS Works, MS Words, Sage, etc, spreadsheets, it depends which ones the company is using. Usually as long as you know how to cut and paste it should be OK. Some only use the basic word processing with audio units

I do a lot of audio typing in my job as an administrator and I use Word for reports and sometimes excel if typing data.
I would assume that whichever company you work for will generally have their own system in place so full training will be given

Are you talking about transcription jobs? Possibly medical transcription? You should try the hospitals, they have these jobs. Doctors offices. Quest Inc. often has jobs for this type of thing.

It sounds like you do not know much about data entry or audio typing either, in which case you won't just find it difficult you will find it impossible.
