Telcare is a Boca Raton-based survey firm looking for a work-at-home, part-time proofreader to read and edit typed responses to open-ended questions. This involves editing for spelling, grammar, syntax, and logical errors. When there are logical or contextual errors, the proofreader will need to listen to voice recordings and ascertain what updates or changes to make to the written text. On occasion, the proofreader will need to move or copy content from one open-ended answer to another. Lastly, the proofreader will need to code or bucket the text responses using a list of standard topics or pre-codes.
Working with Telcare requires a moderate level of computer and Internet knowledge. A successful candidate needs to be comfortable downloading and uploading files, attaching files to emails, saving and finding files on computers, file transfers, renaming files, and using a website interface.
