If you submit low quality audio our turnaround times may be extended. We offer a rush turnaround service in 1 business day (PST), for high quality audio files that are 70 minutes or less. For instance, if you have a file that is 240 minutes, this would take an additional 3 business days. First Draft: Transcripts without timestamps and speaker IDs are usually completed in 1 business day regardless of turnaround selected, or 2-3 business days if you include timestamps and speaker IDs.įiles spanning 90-120 minutes will take an additional business day, and any additional minutes past that, in 60-minute increments, will need an additional business day.So a 10 minute file will take about 30 minutes to transcribe. Machine Express : Transcripts are completed in about 3x the duration of your audio file.There's specific places set up for specific topics, and - more.Turnaround times depend on the Transcription Type ordered. You're given basic feedback on literally every job (percentages of accuracy, what QA changed, etc.) and they've an entire website set up in which you can interact with your peers about work, not work, whatever you like really. Their sense of community/comraderie is unmatched in my experience. This causes a two minute audio segment to take fifteen to thirty minutes which means you're really making pennies. They recommend a (free/common) browser extension that allegedly helps with making the audio better but it's really not that great. I have to listen to most sessions a minimum of two or three times. It sounds like these people are having their conversations in a wind tunnel full of typewriters and the speakers are five miles away from their mics. All that being said, the audio is almost always the WORST possible quality. You're given fairly easy controls over the audio, such as speed up, slow down, pause automatically while typing, etc. You can take various tests depending upon your language skills to raise that dollar amount but you have to be quick about it because the window of opportunity for these tests is often short (especially if you're an english-only transcriber.) The segments you're given are generally two minutes in length but may be as much as four minutes in length. I highly doubt this will ever replace my full-time job ad my primary sense of income due to the exceedingly low pay rate, but it is a fun little side gig! Most of the jobs pay $12 per AH (Audio Hour) but some go as high as $18. The only other nice thing about working here is the community, everyone seems so welcoming and accepting it helps boost morale having that aspect and the ability to communicate through Yammer, the social media site TranscribeMe uses. It was a stressful process for me doing hours of transcription on the exam, hoping I got everything perfectly correct so I would be accepted to work. Not to mention that the application/english exam requires that you transcribe 3, 4 minute audios and you’re not even getting paid yet nor will you be compensated for the time spent on that. It just takes some of the motivation out of you knowing that’s all you’re making. At $15 an audio hour, that’s only about 25 cents for every audio minute you’re transcribing. A 4 minute audio clip may take you over an hour depending on audio quality, and you aren’t getting paid for your time, only for the length of the audio clip. However, there are periods where work is slow, you might spend more time waiting than working on something, and your pay for the amount of time you spend working is definitely not as much as advertised. I enjoyed being able to log on when available and take work as it comes in. Working at TranscribeMe was a great fit for me at first because of the ability to work whenever and wherever.
