Hello, everybody. Welcome back to my channel, Jennifer Marie, where I teach you different ways
that you can make money online working from home. So a lot of my subscribers have asked me why I
have not been posting a lot about transcription jobs in the past few weeks or months. They've
also been asking me about transcription job availability in 2023. So I wanted to take the
time to do this video for you guys today to talk about transcription job opportunities in 2023.
Is there actually a lot of transcription work and how much money can you expect to make? And
one of the reasons I have not been posting a lot about transcription jobs is that right now there
is not a whole lot of work available. A lot of companies aren't hiring, and a lot of companies
that are hiring are actually just going to put you on a waiting list or there just isn't a whole
lot of work available even if you've passed the test. So I'm sure you've seen a lot of different
YouTube videos out there. I have seen some crazy YouTube videos saying you can make $63 an hour
transcribing, some that say you can make up to $200 an hour transcribing or make a week or $5,000
a month. And if you are trying to get a job with one of the most common transcription platforms,
this is false. It's a lie. All of the videos are talking about the same websites, and these
websites are not going to make you rich. It's a lot of work. Transcription is a lot of work.
So if you still want to watch even after all that, I am going to show you some transcription
websites that are hiring and also talk to you about the ones that I would not waste my time
on right now. So let's get into it. Okay, so the first website I'm going to talk to
you about is casting words. Now casting words is hiring. They are hiring worldwide. However,
this is a problem. Once you get accepted, you will go into available jobs. And if you click
on all jobs, you'll see that there are 377 different jobs available. However,
if you click on available jobs, it will say zero entries. And that's because.
Let's see here. Fix automated transcription. Say I wanted to do this job. When I click on it,
it says your transcriber rank isn't high enough for this job. So basically you can't do any work
until you have a higher ranking. But you can't get a higher ranking unless you do jobs. So it's kind
of a waste of time. The next one is CrowdSurfWork. And in the past, CrowdSurfWork had a lot of work
available. There were always little tasks you could do. However, since the pandemic, I think
they got a whole bunch of transcriptionists. And now it's the same problem. If I click here on all,
you can see all of these different jobs and the number of tasks available. But if I click on
Qualified, which ones I'm qualified for, there's none. Okay? And if I click on Qualifications,
you can see that I am qualified to work on review and edit transcription tasks and qualified to work
on transcription tasks. However, there are never any available. I'm not sitting here refreshing
all day long, so I don't know if any do come available. But every time I have looked to check,
there hasn't been anything there, so wouldn't waste my time with CrowdSurfWork right now. The
next one I want to tell you about is Transcribe Me. So Transcribe Me, I had an account and I
had to do the reactivation exam, which I did last month, I believe, and I wanted to see how
much work is available. So when you click here on Transcription, it will automatically bring you to
the work hub. And when work becomes available, it will appear here automatically. So far I haven't
seen any work today. Now, maybe it's because it's Friday, I'm not sure. You can see here I've
earned a dollar and $0.06. So last week there was work available, but it was every so often
a file was popping up that I could transcribe. It wasn't continuous. So there is work available
with transcribeme. But maybe not as much as other platforms. So that's one to consider. The next one
is Scribie. You can see here one file is available for transcription. Scribie used to have a lot of
work available, a lot of files. And in the past few months, there has not been a lot of work. I
have a lot of subscribers who are transcriptionist for Scribby who asked me, what's the problem? Why
isn't there any work available? And I talked to down here, if you click on Live Chat,
I talked to someone who works for Scribie and they said that they just haven't had as much work
available and they're hoping to change that this year. So there is work available, but again, it's
not as much as it used to be. But this is one you can also consider. The next one is rev. And Rev
right now is definitely the best one when it comes to volume of work. You can see here, earlier today
there were 124 jobs. If we refresh that, let's see how much work is available right now. And bear in
mind, it is Friday around 06:00 P.m. Toronto time. You can see here 73 claimable caption
projects. And let's look at how much the pay rate is. So here's a huge one. Let's say you did this
one an hour and 26 minutes file. You get fifty four cents per minute. You would get $46.49 for
transcribing that file. Now, again, it does take quite a bit of time to transcribe these files.
So the highest pay rate would be this one here. This file is actually this one here. The pay per
minute is a dollar. And so for this 38 minutes file, you'd get paid $48.05. That's pretty good.
So Rev's files are ranging from ones that are over an hour long to other ones that are a minute long.
So what's good about Rev is it's not just in. Bite-size files. You can pick a file that's
over an hour long or 50 minutes long and preview that file before you claim it. And if you do,
you know, a great job, then you're guaranteed to get this $40 or $30. So something like that.
Even just doing one of these files a day can give you a pretty decent income, depending,
of course, on what country you are living in and what the cost of living is in your country. Okay,
so rev is hiring. However, three days ago, this was updated. And where does rev accept
transcription and caption freelancers from? They accept freelancers from the following countries
Australia, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and
the United States. Except for California. So this has changed. Before it was worldwide,
or there were a lot of countries outside of these countries that could apply. However, right now you
have to be from one of these countries. And if you are not from one of these countries,
you can apply to their foreign language subtitle program. You can click on that as well. So here
is where you can translate subtitles with rev and you get paid quite a bit more for this as well,
over double. So let's look at some other ones. People have been talking about speechpad. Right
now, due to high demand, they're not accepting new applications. They say, Please check back in
a few months. I think it's been closed for like a year, so don't waste your time with speechpad. qa
World used to be the easiest one to get into. The pay was very poor, but right now they're not even
hiring. There's no Apply now button, so they have all the transcriptionists that's they need. You
could always message them or contact them on Facebook or email them and ask them if they
are currently hiring. But it looks like they're not right now. tigerfish right now is not hiring.
Tigerfish.com applicants when available openings will be listed below. So they're not hiring right
now. Now here is one I was really excited about in my last video on transcription
jobs HappyScribe. It looks like a really great program. A lot of people were getting accepted,
but the problem is that they are being put on a waitlist and everyone's on the waitlist. If you
go to this video on the HappyScribe YouTube channel and you read the comments here,
you can see nice. I was showing short listed, but I'm still on the waiting list. I hope to get hired
soon. I'm on the waiting list. So this person says don't bother applying. They'll announce
in a generic email that you're short-listed and they never get back to you. So unfortunately,
I think they probably have so many people on their waitlist that they're not actually giving work to
any of these people. You could always apply just to have some experience with the transcription
exam. However, you're not going to probably get any work out of it, so it's a waste of time.
The next one is way with words. This one I tried to get into years ago when it was open. So Way
with Words is one of the best transcription companies. However, right now new registrations
are closed temporarily. So Way with Words is at capacity right now. They are not hiring.
The next one is Go Transcript. Go Transcript is hiring. I have never actually been able to
get into the platform, but I know that they do generally have an okay volume of work. From what
I understand, it is worldwide and they also Pay with PayPal and Pioneer. I can't tell you exactly
what it looks like once you've logged in because I don't have an account with Go transcript. But
from what I understand, there is a decent volume of Jobs. This is another one to consider. The next
one here is Transcription Plus, and this one I have not applied to, but this one is for medical
transcriptionists. So if you have experience with medical transcription and if you are from the
United States or live in the United States. You can apply to Transcription plus. Net, and I'm sure
they probably pay better than other programs. It's medical transcription which is more complicated.
The next one is Acuteran Global, and they are hiring for Remote Captioning,
but I believe you do have to live in North America in order to apply for this one. So
this next company here, they are hiring from the US and Canada.
The next company is GMR Transcription, and they are currently hiring for general
transcriptionists and Spanish transcriptionists and certified translators. And on their website,
they say that transcriptionists and translators typically earn between $1000 to $3,000 per month.
I don't have experience with GMR, but I hear that they're a pretty decent company. You can click
here to apply. However, it's important to note that they only accept resumes from applicants
within the US. Okay, so you have to be from the US. To apply to GMR transcription. The next one is
speak write. Speakwrite is currently hiring. You do have to live in the US or Canada again, so this
is another one you can apply to if you're from the US or Canada, and the next is 3Play Media. They
are also hiring transcriptionists, but again, you have to be from the US. To apply to 3Play Media.
So if you are from the US or Canada, you have a lot of different opportunities for transcription
companies. However, if you are not from the US or Canada, you can still apply to Go Transcript. Go
transcript is worldwide. You can apply to Scribie. Scribie is also worldwide. You need
to have a PayPal account for Rev and for Scribie. You can be from a few other countries other than
the US or Canada, as I showed you before, but Go Transcript pays with PayPal and with Payoneer
again, Scribie. There's not a lot of work right now. There are a few jobs here and there. Rev
always has a lot of work. And Go transcripts, from what I understand, does also have a decent volume
of work. Now, if none of these platforms are working for you, or you can't seem to get hired,
there are some other possibilities for you to work as a transcriptionist. You can go on a website
like Upwork.com and under Find Work. You can type in Transcription English or Transcription Jobs,
and you can scroll through here and see if you can find any. I see here this one need transcription
of an eleven minute file. They're willing to pay $10, another job for a transcription expert. So
what you can do is on Upwork, you can really make your profile look great, have some samples
of your work. So you could have a PDF file or a Microsoft document showing something that you
have transcribed with speakers with timestamps, and just make it look really professional. You
can also search for jobs on Freelancer.com. You can type in Transcription English and search for
jobs there. You can go on LinkedIn and you can search for Transcriptionist Jobs under Remote and
just scroll through and see which opportunities are available for you based on your region. You
can also go on fiverr and you can set up a Transcription gig. So you can see here english
transcription. There are a lot of different gigs, but all of these people have reviews, so people
are purchasing these gigs. So if you create a nice thumbnail and have a nice profile, this is also an
opportunity for you to do freelance transcription. And another opportunity is also people per hour.
You can post a similar sort of gig on a website like this. So I really wanted to do this video to
give you something idea of what Transcription job opportunities are like in 2023. There are
definitely less transcription jobs available than there were last year or the year before,
and it's. Especially before the pandemic. I also think that there are less transcription jobs
because a lot of people are just using automatic AI software to transcribe their text for them.
Now, human transcription is usually better than AI transcription because some files require a
human ear to distinguish between voices or to know which word they meant if it's a homophone,
for example. So I always think there is going to be transcription work available, however
less than before, for sure. If you want to learn a little bit more about transcription, I have linked
you in the description below to my transcription playlist. I hope this video gave you some insight
into what transcription work looks like in 2023, and I will make sure to post more videos if I
come across any other transcription opportunities. Thank you guys so much for watching. Make sure to
subscribe to Jennifer Marie for more videos like this one, and I will see you in my next tutorial.
