I am very good with typing, editing, proofreading, but am quite capable of doing many other things. I can also do localization/localisation due to my years in Australia and England. So, any suggestions as to a niche? I'm working on a list of what I can do and what I like to do, but would welcome any thoughts/suggestions. I don't want to narrow it too much and have no clients, yet I don't want to make it too broad.
Is sounds like you are a generalist with a specialty in medical transcription.
I suggest, if you like doing the things you listed, then go for it. If you are burnt out on transcription, which happens, then go with generalist. Generalist are VA's who do more admin work rather than a specialty service such as REVA, VBA and or Bookkeeping.

Good luck!
Andrea
