7 Best Non-Voice Work From Home Jobs in Philippines 2025

In 2025, more people than ever are seeking remote work as opposed to life in an office. According to recent research, an astonishing 91% of Filipino workers prefer either remote or hybrid work, with 28% choosing to work fully remotely¹.

While early work-from-home jobs were dominated by call centers, the high stress and demanding KPIs have led many Filipino workers to seek calmer, non-voice roles. These jobs can be harder to find but often provide a much better work-life balance.

This guide covers what non-voice work is, the best roles available, the skills you'll need, and where to find these opportunities. We'll also introduce the Wise account, a handy companion to make your money go further with low, transparent fees.

What is a non-voice, work-from-home job?

As you might expect, a non-voice job is the type of role where interacting with customers verbally is not required. Instead, the roles will typically involve things such as written communication, coding and data entry, and back-office administrative support. They’re ideal for people more suited to quiet working environments and task-oriented roles.

There are several benefits to these roles. They’re often more relaxing than roles with heavy customer interaction, with greater accessibility for those who lack confidence in verbal communication skills. As with all remote and freelancer jobs, the hours are often flexible, and you are not confined to a physical office, meaning you can pick up roles from anywhere across the world.

Entry-level non-voice roles like data entry offer a great stepping stone into the WFH world, providing foundational experience. While initial pay may be lower and competition can be high, these roles are ideal for introverts who value quiet, task-oriented environments. The key is to see them as a launchpad for upskilling into higher-paying, specialized non-voice careers.

Top non-voice work-from-home jobs

With more companies than ever adopting a hybrid work pattern for their employees, it’s an exciting time for those looking to move into this way of working. There is a wide variety of jobs to pursue, with each being suitable for people with different skillsets and proclivities.

What follows is a broad summary of some of the key industries where you can find non-voice remote work. The salary ranges we’ve applied in this instance are for lower- to mid-level entry positions. Some specialist roles within these industries can go much higher.

Now let’s take a look at some of the specific job titles and what they entail.

Chat support agent

This is perhaps the role most similar to a traditional call center operative. However, instead of using vocal communication skills, chat support agents interact with customers through written exchanges via chat windows. They will still require good problem-solving skills, patience, and resourcefulness to excel in this role.

Data entry specialist

This is a role commonly found in financial industries and involves the manual updating and inputting of data into spreadsheets, databases, and CRM platforms. While some might consider this role quite monotonous, it does suit certain people with a keen eye for detail and high concentration skills.

Virtual assistant (VA)

A virtual assistant is a great role for tech-savvy people who replace the traditional personal assistant. Workers will often provide admin and scheduling assistance to multiple executives and companies simultaneously, making it a potentially high-paying work-from-home role. It requires high levels of organization, prioritization, and time management to achieve this.

Social media moderator

Social media is everywhere, and unfortunately, much of the content and discourse that it generates isn’t always helpful or kind. That’s where moderators come in. They scour social media platforms to highlight potentially damaging content and take the steps to remove it. They can also act as social media managers for companies, taking care of their online presence.

Transcriber

A transcriber plays an important role in providing audio-to-text services. They’ll watch videos or listen to audio clips, then commit it all to a written medium. Successful transcribers will work well under pressure as they are usually committed to very tight deadlines. They need excellent accuracy and concentration, as well as exceptional typing skills.

Quality assurance analyst

This role involves individuals checking to make sure that the standard of work from other people is of high quality. As such, they need to be very knowledgeable in a particular field, so they can spot and explain the errors. An editor, an auditor, and a compliance officer would all carry out a version of quality assurance, highlighting how wide-ranging a role it is.

Copywriter

Copywriters will receive briefings on written pieces of work that businesses would like to include on their blogs or as part of their content strategies. As such, copywriters need to strike a fine balance between being creative and sticking to what the customer wants. They will also often be expected to work to tight deadlines.

Online researcher

Many academic papers, books, and studies require a huge amount of research. Online researchers will fulfil this part of the project. They will check across the internet for the facts and figures and organize them into something coherent, ready to pass on to the creator. Online researchers require a high level of critical thinking and cross-referencing skills.

Recruiter

Recruiters are often a vital middle link between companies and employees. They will source high-potential candidates from job site profiles and attempt to match them to companies within their industry. They will often arrange interviews and will usually receive commission on top of their salary for each successful placement.

How to start your non-voice WFH career

If you’re currently in an office job and you want to try your hand at remote work, but you’re not sure where to start, then look no further. We’re here to give you a breakdown of the steps needed to transition into this highly satisfying way of working.

Top skills you need to succeed

This will depend a little on the sector and type of role you wish to work in. However, there are broad soft skills such as a high work ethic, strong written communication and attention to detail, and the ability to work under pressure that will be useful for most remote jobs.

However, self-discipline is perhaps the most important skill. You will likely be working on your own and setting your own hours, and you may not have direct supervision constantly checking on your progress. You need to have the discipline to succeed by putting in the hours and maintaining a high work ethic while dealing with the solitary nature of this type of work.

What to look out for to avoid scams

Unfortunately, there are people out there looking to take advantage of people who are not used to finding these types of job posts. Knowing how to identify a legitimate opportunity is another key skill you’ll need to have.

Some of the key things to look out for include:

• An inflated or vague job salary
• Upfront or “training” fees in order to be considered for the role
• No company information on the posting
• A broad job description with no specific responsibilities or expectations
• Immediate hiring with no screening
• Suspicious communication channels i.e., no option to communicate via email or telephone
