Could you add Transcription to the Administrative Support category

Since I am the original poster, does that mean I still get to show my support ? 

Hi Jacqui,

I was wondering if there has been a decision made about adding transcription/transcribe as a subcategory under administrative assistance?  Still finding job posts for that late (sometimes a few  days) because I have to manually search for them.  They don't always show up in my email digest.  That's the main focus of my work.

I think they were hoping to see some more interest before moving forward. So please transcriptionists - post your support here!

Hi Jacqui,  I noticed that a new category was added for translation skills.  This seemed to be based on a request by two or three at the most, and oDesk honored that request by adding a new category.  

 I have asked for transcription to added as a new category under administrative assistance.  There was one other provider that also said it would be a good idea.  My question is why is transcription not being added, when translation has been.  There are transcription job posts all the time (enough that it's most of my assignments), but they are not necessarily found under administrative assistance.  Please reconsider adding.  It would make job opportunities easier to find for the providers and easier to post for the buyers.

Thanks,

Tamara
 

I checked into this for you. Translation was on the list or consideration before transcription, so it got added first. Transcription is on the review list for the next round of category updates. For the record, I completely agree that it deserves to be added.
