Hello, @katherinegood!

If you are a _really_ strong typist, check out the possibility of becoming a transcriptionist. Work is relatively easy to find online and relies solely on one’s typing ability. In general, typing at or above 57 WPM is deemed above average, so that should give you an idea of just how well a transcriptionist needs to be able to type. Much of the work out there involves transcribing audio files into text files, and a lot of that involves typing out speech in real time. The core ability is typing but the work also requires the ability for a transcriptionist to actively listen while transcribing.

It has been a while since you posted - have you had any luck finding work? Luckily a lot of typing work can be done remotely, making it a viable option even during this panedmic!
