TranscribeMe reviews

I'm a stay-at-home parent, and this job is absolutely perfect for me. I get to put my copyediting skills and writing degree to use, and the hours are completely flexible. The admins offer so much positive support and feedback, and I have been able to advance quickly to a position of better pay and wider opportunities. I adore working here. If you're a grammar nerd like me, this is the perfect way to make some side money.

** Can work from anywhere with good internet. ** Easy work (if you are a master of your spoken language, including grammar, spelling, punctuation), and are a good typer. ** VERY, VERY flexible hours. Great for moms (or dads) with small kids who are needing a little extra cash. ** Advancement opportunities are numerous. Transcriber, Quality Assurance, Reviewer, and "Special Teams" ** It's a fairly new company so they are constantly upgrading and improving, so things do need to be updated. Even the scariest changes have improved the smoothness of operations and I haven't had any bug problems lately. ** Administration is a click away. When I have had concerns about things, they are heard. For example, many of us wanted an auto-save option, now there is one. ** It is an easy company to get into, which is why people are "let go" easily as well. Don't worry, if you are doing well, you're fine. If you are not doing well after many many files were worked on, then you are released. As with any job, if you aren't showing improvement, you need to find something else. They do try to help you improve. ** Rejected files are able to be sent to review, just in case you have a Quality Assurance person reject something you believe you should have been paid for. When this happens, they are very good about responding to questions and offering CONSTRUCTIVE criticism to help you fix your mistakes the next time. ** Every single person I've worked under has treated me with the greatest respect and kindness. I tend to be a very kind and patient person as well, so perhaps that's why my experience has been so positive. ** Pay rate depends on how good you are. The better you are, the more you get paid per actual hour. If your work is seen to be very good, they contact you about advancement, as was the case with me. ** As you advance, you have more control over which files you work on. If you get a file with a poor recording, you don't have to do it. In fact, as a reviewer, currently, I beg you to pass on it. Let someone take it who has the time and software to mess with it. ** The Technology Team was usually available within a reasonable amount of time for help with emergencies. ** They utilize a WorkHub as well as HelpDesk and Yammer for communication with administration. I find that they are also very good about emailing answers that cannot be found in the Style Guide. *** They are global *** so mastering the English language isn't a requirement, but being a master of at least one language is required. I believe the company is based in New Zealand, so there are various forms of the English language that are used (UK, AUS, US, etc.) ** No set working hours. I can work at 5am, 3am, or 9pm if I choose. I can also work for 2 minutes, or 90 minutes. ** No set number of weekly hours required. If you are gone for 3 months, or have not emailed to let them know your situation, then you could be let go, so just keep in touch. ** Paid through PayPal so it's safe and there are no currency issues.
