Frequently asked questions

Pay rates range from $0.50 to $1.20 per audio minute, depending on file difficulty and your quality score. Many part‑time Icelandic transcribers earn around $30–$120 per week, with higher earnings possible if you complete more files and maintain strong accuracy.

These are freelance, remote contractor roles you can do from home anywhere in the world. We welcome applicants from Iceland, the Nordics, Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, and beyond—GoTranscript has operated since 2005 and already works with Icelandic transcribers, but we’re hiring more due to growing demand.

Professional experience is a plus but not required. You should be fluent in Icelandic (native or near‑native), comfortable with regional dialects and accents (e.g., Reykjavík, North Iceland, Westfjords), and able to follow written guidelines carefully.

It’s a simple two‑step process: 1) pass the GoTranscript guidelines test and 2) transcribe a short sample audio. Start here: Apply for Icelandic transcription jobs at GoTranscript. Most applicants hear back within a few business days.

Expect a short sample (typically 3–5 minutes of audio) plus a quick multiple‑choice guidelines check. We evaluate accuracy, punctuation, adherence to GoTranscript formatting, timestamping, and your handling of Icelandic names, numbers, and dialectal nuances.

Payments go out weekly, every Friday, for completed and approved work. You can withdraw via PayPal, Payoneer, or USDC, making it convenient for freelancers worldwide.

You’ll need a computer, a reliable internet connection, and good headphones in a quiet workspace. GoTranscript provides an in‑browser transcription tool with shortcuts and timestamping—no special paid software is required.

You’ll transcribe a variety of Icelandic audio, including interviews, lectures, meetings, podcasts, and phone calls. Work is flexible—log in when you want, pick the files you like, and build your weekly hours around your schedule. For more guidance, visit the GoTranscript FAQ.
