1. On the WorkPlaceLikeHome.com message board for home workers, there is a forum devoted exclusively to "Coding, Transcription & Data Entry" work at home jobs. This particular work at home jobs category on the message board includes jobs as medical transcriptionists and legal transcriptionists. It's important to be aware that to qualify for nearly all medical transcription and legal transcription jobs, you typically need to complete specialized training programs beforehand. This is quite a useful forum to browse through slowly and carefully whenever you have the chance. But at the same time, you should always remain skeptical about any job postings you come across, even on reputable message boards. In addition, always be prepared to conduct your own extensive research on any specific data entry home jobs that happen to spark your interest.

2. Some legitimate companies with solid track records that hire home workers for coding, transcription and/or data entry positions include Speak-Write (speak-write.com), formerly known as Cyber Secretaries, Accurate Typing (accuratetyping.net), Oracle Transcription (oracleti.com), Thomas Transcription (thomastx.com), eScription (escription.com), and several others. See the "sticky" thread at the top of the "Coding, Transcription & Data Entry" forum at WorkPlaceLikeHome.com. This sticky thread is entitled "List of Coding and Transcription Companies," and this particular thread includes links to numerous legitimate coding and data entry employers.

3. It's important to note that nearly all work at home companies, including those companies that hire telecommuters for data entry home jobs, go through periods when they are not hiring at all, but if you are very interested in applying to work for a specific company that is not currently hiring, keep checking back to see if/when that company's temporary hiring moratorium has been lifted.

Tips & Warnings

• If you receive unsolicited job offers for data entry home jobs in your email inbox, chances are very, very good that these offers are actually work at home scams rather than legitimate work at home job offers. Look carefully at the wording of such ads, which tend to make over the top promises about absurdly high salaries. In fact, as a rule, most unsolicited email job offers, including those for data entry home jobs, fall into the category of "If it sounds too good to be true, odds are it probably is."
