WFH Transcription Woes??

Hi!

Is there anyone on here whose gone through a remote transcription job and could give me tips on speed and audio quality? I love transcription and have been working with Rev for a while now off and on, but I miss a lot of jobs because the best I have is a set of noise canceling headphones. Is it worth it to invest in a pedal or anything else to boost audio quality on my end??? If so, do you have any recommendations???

I’d like to do more than one freelance job so when one’s workload is low I have more to work with but I have no idea how to get from the 45-55 wpm I’m at now to 75-80 like a lot of the ones I’ve seen want.

Thanks much for any tips and advice!
