What do we do?
We provide audio transcription services, which means that we convert audio and video files into text.
In our system, you can pick the files you prefer to work on. You must have a PayPal or Payoneer account as we make payments only with PayPal or Payoneer. Payments are made every weekend, on Friday. Also, we cover the PayPal fee so you will receive the exact amount which you earned and there will be no fee to receive payment. To send a request for payment, go to the WORK section (STATS page). There you can send a request for payment.
Instructions:
Every time a client uploads a file, you will receive an e-mail. After that, you need to go to the transcription jobs page and choose the files you want to transcribe.
There you will also see the information about the turnaround time, text format (clean or full verbatim) and timestamping type if one is required.
After your transcription is uploaded, you will see your current earnings on the stats page.
Payments are made every weekend, on Friday. There will also be a statistics page where you will see how much you have earned for each file.
All of your transcriptions are going to be checked by editors. You will receive a rating and comments to help you improve your work.
If your average rating is better than 4.5, you can try to become an editor.
Sometimes, the quality of audio or video files is horrible, so please let us know about that. We will contact the client and provide a refund for that file.
Use US (American) spelling. Only use different spelling if a client asks that in the comments (use Grammarly).
Text format descriptions
Full verbatim
The text is transcribed exactly as it sounds and includes all the utterances of the speakers.
Those are:
Speech errors: "I went to the bank on Thursday-- no, Friday."
False starts: I, um, wanted-- I have dreamed of becoming a musician.
Filler words: um, uh, kind of, sort of, I mean, you know…
Slang words Kinda, gotta, gotcha, betcha, wanna, dunno…
Stutters: I-I went to the bank last Tu-Thursday.
Repetitions: I went- I went to the bank last Friday.
Only use these forms for the affirmative/negative:
Mm-hmm, Mm (affirmative) or Mm-mm (negative)
Uh-huh (affirmative) or Uh-uh (negative)
Example: DOCX or PDF
Clean verbatim
The transcribed text does not include:
Speech errors
False starts (unless they add information)
Stutters
Repetitions. Note: Keep repetitions of words that express emphasis: No, no, no. I am very, very happy.
Filler words: Words often excessively used by the speaker but when you take them out, you’re left with perfectly understandable sentences. uh, um, *you know, *like, *I mean, *so, *kind of, well, sort of… Be mindful of the context. Some of these filler words do not always function as filler words.
Expressions should be kept regardless of verbatim type: Oh my God, Oh dear, Oh my, Oh boy, Oh, et cetera.
Slang words must be written as "got you" instead of "gotcha", "going to" instead of "gonna", "want to" instead of "wanna", "because" instead of "'cause" et cetera.
"Yeah", "yep", "yap", "yup", "mm-hmm" must be written as "yes"; "alright" must be written as "all right."
Never spell "Ok" or "OK." It must always be spelled as "Okay."
Avoid starting phrases with conjunctions in clean verbatim. If you really need to add the conjunction, just expand the sentence. For example: "I went outside but forgot to bring my umbrella."
