It's not trivial to get started, but my mom did medical transcription, mostly from home, for years. My brother and I even did it for a while.

Could you elaborate or point to resources on how one would get involved with medical transcription?

Just curious- would you have to do HIPAA courses, or get any other certifications for medical transcription? It seems like it would be a long hiring process.

I'd be interested in this too, I think any repetitive, data entry sort of jobs would be great. She does know how to use excel and basic book keeping (took courses) but she doesn't have any work experience
