Does this ever get better? Thanks for reading!ĮDIT- I forgot to mention. While you hear someone in the background already transcribing. So far, every audio file I have had has been the same arrogant college kid, basically interviewing foreigners over the phone. This involves learning about Indian and Mexican holidays, talking about people's cats, how gay they are, and anything else you can imagine. You are REQUIRED to to do a "Water Cooler" chat with other Transcribe Me employees on the website Yammer. Just researching the company names, personal names, technobabble, if you can hear it, place names, and so on, will take at least 1 hour, for a 2 minute audio file! "KriShnA Spiritoowell HeelinGz" has to be spelled out this way exactly, if that is how the company spells and formats it. If the speaker is talking about companies in India, for example, you have to research ALL those company names, spell them correctly, and format the names exactly. You have to do research on every audio file. I am a native English speaker, from Canada, with an MA in English, and teach English professionally(Don't judge by my internet language, please.) And for me, my score after a month is 63%. Kind of like the people in the audio files. It's like learning an entirely new language. A 39 page book of rules on how they want the text formatted. QA wants the entire 2-4 minute text block to be one sentence. Yet they spell it the exact same way in the correction! QA will mark wrong, on average, 3 words per 2 minute audio file, as spelled wrong. So after sitting here for a month, 12 hours a day, I STILL can't get paid! You can't get your money unless you have at least $20 USD in your account. If you can't hear them, you don't get paid for your time. The audio quality of the files sounds like someone is sending you a distress call from 1831 through a rip in space-time bounced off the Moon and ripped through a black hole. If you can't understand what they say, you will not get paid for your time. And I cannot understand 5% of what they say. It is mostly Indians, Arabs, and Mexicans. But I have yet to receive any work in this dialect. I am registered for "North American English". You have to be up early in the morning to get any work. I pretty much have nothing, but complaints. And maybe receive some feedback from others who have done it longer than me. And I wanted to give people who have never done it my first impressions so they know what to expect. I heard about Transcribe Me on here and was excited. As my speed and skill increase, my pay will continue to as well.Hi guys. Who's going to hire someone who's only available 6 hours a day, only mornings and early afternoons, who is NEVER going to be available evenings, weekends, holidays, or summers, and who needs to be able to leave work at the drop of a hat if their kid is sick or something? This job has been a Godsend for me in my situation.

I'm a housebound stay at home mom with no car, and not enough free hours in a day to work a legit job anyway. You can make it into something worthwhile but you have to put in the time and effort. But it is a legit thing and like everything else in life, it is what you make of it.
No, this job isn't good enough to replace a full-time job out in the real world. The tests will also become easier after some practice. Yes, the exams can be tough, but the more practice you get in, the better you'll naturally get at transcribing. Also, once you pass exams to open up different types of work (accents, for example) or get onto a special team, the amount of work available increases exponentially. They add things periodically throughout the day and night, so there's certainly no need to log out and leave the computer for hours every time you see the message. If it's very early in the morning it could take a bit longer, but there's a steady stream of work coming in. Usually another job comes up sooner than I'd like because I don't even get to finish the song I'm trying to listen to, haha.
It keeps refreshing the jobs page and I just keep that tab open while I listen to YouTube or something and usually another job comes up within minutes.

But the key is to download another browser extension for chrome that auto-refreshes your page for you. Yes, everyone gets the 'all work is currently assigned' message from time to time, especially when they first start.
