If you're interested in working as a transcriptionist, it doesn't take long at all. After you pass the entrance test on the website, which tests your ability to follow the style guide they use for transcribing, you usually get an email within a couple of days. If you don't pass the test the first time, you can take it again after a certain time period, but I don't remember how long the wait is.
Usually a few days. I have worked for them over 4 years and love it!
You know immediately upon passing the initial exam.
Does TranscribeMe drug test or do a background check?

Normally, TranscribeMe does not require a drug test or a background check. However, one of our special teams in the US does require a background check as per client demands.
They do not do drug testing of any sort, even when their customers that pay TranscribeMe require it.
There is now a special group of transcriptionists who do undergo a background check. This group is limited to the US, and participation in it is voluntary.
No drug test. Unsure about background check - they do require you to upload a scan of an identity document (driver’s license, etc.) before you can work on higher level teams.
