Transcription jobs online
We get new transcribing jobs every day. You'll always have something to work on.
There are no separate client and employee accounts. Upon signing up, all accounts are the same, but you get to see the Work section when you pass your test.
Yes.
It means that you answered one or a few of the questions incorrectly. The quiz is working as it should be - there are no bugs or technical faults.
Yes. Some questions might have several correct answers, and you have to mark all of the correct options to pass.
We usually get great recordings, but we also work with files that are not as clear. We need to know you can handle those kinds of jobs using the guidelines you have studied.
We review both English and foreign language applications manually, so it might take up to 30-60 days to get your results. Results are sent by email (check your spam folder too). You can also check your application's status from the test page: if you see an error message saying that we're checking your application, it means that it's still pending. If you see the audio file and your previous submission, it means that your application was declined, and you can take the test again. If you're accepted, the error message will say, 'You are a transcriber, you don't need to do the test.' You will also get to see the Work section when you're accepted.
At least 95%.
Yes. You can use the same account to take the test again. Do not create multiple accounts as this will get your application declined automatically.

“ Many podcasters use transcription services like GoTranscript to create written records of their broadcasts. ”
“ Pros: Very fast turnaround. Reasonable price and a student discount was available. Some of the transcripts were excellent even though my participants spoke Malaysian English, which might not be so familiar to people outside of the region. I was able to request a transcript that included false starts, crosstalk, etc. Timestamps were accurate.
Cons: The quality of the transcriptions was not consistent. I only skimmed most of the transcripts, but I can see that some of them will need editing. I read through two transcripts fully at this point - one was near perfect and the other needed editing. However, I can see from the errors that the transcriptionist was not familiar with Malaysia. It's understandable since this is not a Malaysian company.
I would definitely use this service again. Even with the editing, most of the transcript was accurate and it was a huge timesaver. With more commonly spoken varieties of English, I think the accuracy would not be an issue. ”

“ The captioning service I used was fairly fast and accurate. Customer service was very helpful in getting started. Pricing was a bit higher than I am used to, however it was for a video that had English and Spanish in it so I think the pricing was fair. Thank you to the folks who worked on the video for me. Will definitely use again. ”
