| The Complete Guide to Transcription Jobs in 2021 (Part-2) |
1.QA World
So the first one is QA World,QA world has a very easy test,you just have to listen to a file,transcribe it,it could take you like five minutes,you know,depending on your English level to get accepted,the pay rate is very low.Look how low it is,it is between five cents and 15 cents per audio minute to start.So this is a very low pay rate.Like I said,it takes you three to four times as long as a file is to transcribe it.So that means you'll be making between five and 15 cents in four minutes,which is a lot of work for a very low pay Rate.And it usually will take people even longer than that with the calls on QA World.Because basically what you do is you're transcribing a conversation between call centers,so between a customer and a representative.And sometimes they're quite difficult to hear.But this is the easiest job to get accepted into of all of the different transcription platforms.So even just applying for the test,just to practice,some type of transcription test is definitely worthwhile.And if you can get a little bit of work to get started,I would recommend this,the job availability unfortunately is quite low.I'm going to show you when we jump on into QA world and see exactly what I mean.But you have to be online in the early morning in the Indian times.Because usually the job calls are released between could be two in the early morning and seven in the morning.And that's when you get calls that are released.And there's a lot of people just sitting and waiting for the calls to be released.To click start work start a job.So if all of a sudden I see 30 calls pop up,you have to be super fast at accepting a call because they will go really fast.I have a little trick for that,Which I will talk about a little bit later on.The Payment method is PayPal in this is a worldwide job.So as long as you have a PayPal account,you can work for this company.Have I passed this test? YES,I have.
2.Scribie
Okay,so the second website we're going to talk about is Scribie.And the test difficulty is average.I wouldn't say it's you know,you have to have a pretty decent level of English in order to pass it is quite Extensive.You get to pick one of the test files,and then you transcribe it.And then they will get back to you to say whether or not you passed,the Pay Rate is between 16 cents and 17 cents per audio minute,they have the pay rate of $10 per audio hour.And again,it can take you three to four hours to transcribe one audio hour,the job availability is quite high every time I've been on Scribie.There's always jobs available.Sometimes there's you know,5678 files,it's not like there's hundreds of files.But there's always something to do on scribie.From what I have seen.The Payment method is PayPal.And yes,it is available to worldwide applicants,as long as you have a PayPal account,have I Passed the test? YES I have.
3.Rev Captioning and Rev Transcription
Okay,so the next one I'm going to talk about is Rev Captioning and Rev Transcription.So these are two different platforms within the same company Rev Captioning,you basically have to write out closed captions or subtitles for different YouTube videos within their built in dashboard and then sync those to the videos later on.It is I think,easier to get into Rev Captioning than it is into Rev transcription.But neither are easy,it is very difficult.I had to try a couple times to get accepted into Rev Transcription and then Rev Captioning,I think I got accepted my second try.So it's not the easiest thing to get accepted into.Especially because so many people write the answers all over the internet.So even if you do have an excellent level of English,and you would be a great transcriptionist or Captioner,you might fail the test for something small or because they think you're copying and pasting.It's very unfortunate.The Pay Rate is higher than QA world and Scribie you can make between 40 cents and $1 per audio minute,that is usually even higher than 40 cents and it can even be higher than $1.If it's a rush job or a really difficult file,the job availability in my experience,it's high for Rev Captioning,there's always jobs available.And I'm going to put average for Rev Transcription based on what I saw in the past.It could be high,I don't have access anymore to my Rev Transcription account because it was so long I didn't use it.But Rev Captioning I do.The Payment method is PayPal for both of these and Rev used to be a worldwide company and now it only is accepting applicants from these countries right here.Okay,so Australia,Canada,Germany.Ireland,New Zealand,South Africa,the US and the UK.Have I Passed the test? YES,I have Passed for Both.
4.TranscribeMe
Okay,The next one I want to talk to you about is Transcribe Me.The Test is Very Difficult,I Passed the Test.On my first try,I've actually Passed the test twice,because if you don't use your account for an under a certain amount of months,you lose your Account,So I had to Pass It twice.But it is difficult,You must have an excellent level of English and Follow the style guidelines very carefully.The Pay Rate is between 25 cents and 36 cents per Audio Minute.It is actually easier than Rev in my Opinion,because the files are just clearer to understand.The job availability is low,I wouldn't say it's extremely low.But there is a lot of waiting around until you get assigned a job.The Payment method is PayPal and it is worldwide so you can apply if you are from anywhere.
