According to SpeakWrite, typists with good skills will make $12 - $15 per hour after just a short period of working with them. As you work more hours and become more efficient using their system,  you will undoubtedly earn even more.

Payment for all contract work is made twice a month via check by mail or by direct deposit for those living in the US. only. (They cannot do direct deposits for Canadian residents at this time.)
