I like that I work whenever I want at home.

Do hours of work for about $3 or so an hour. They get you with thinking that if you just learnt to type faster or just became a quality assessor it'd then be worth it. Well, I reached both of those goals. Became a QA and can type at nearly 90WPM and am still paid peanuts.

The admins are friendly and helpful. Wouldn't have a clue who is running the company.

They care for all their workers.

The leadership team needs to remember that the transcriptionists are doing the bulk of the work and should be payed much, much more than they currently are. The leadership team should be paid less.

Listen to your crowd workers. Pay them fairly.

Very political. Admins have workers they love and hate. Who loves and hates that Admin will reflect on how they treat you. They will even take hours or days of your work away and give it to someone else without compensating you because you didn't 'technically' complete it per their whim. Good luck!

Need to better organize the projects and payments. Also need to improve communication with contractors.

Planning, pay, and communication would be tops.

No defined compensation package, as such, as I'm a crowd worker - so, unable to comment on it.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

I am paid by audio hours and not by how many hours I work. It comes out quite low sometimes, but I do have the convenience of being at home.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

You could work for eight hours and make a total of $10. And I'm talking being in one of the best paid teams and as a fast touch typer. No extra pay for hard audio. No extra pay as a quality assessor for working on a job that has been transcribed very poorly and takes you 2 to 3 times as long to do.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

It would be great if the hourly rate were better, but the online transcription industry seems to pay badly overall.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

The rates are low. It's impossible to make a living wage in the United States while getting work from this company. I would feel better if i was paid more.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

As a QA you are called on to correct other people's work. At times that involves multiple mishears, moving of words, adding words and punctuation. At times that creates additional hours of work that is not paid for. But no compensation given unless a chunk is bad enough to reject.

Fewer announcements about the same things over and over and over again. It's redundant and unnecessary.

Read and follow instructions and stop asking stupid questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

They need managers whom don't, fire people because they messed up

Revisión Review del Departamento de Administración · Publicado hace 5 años

Your coworkers will not do their jobs and you will end up doing it or be screamed at. Any attempts at resolving this get your harassed by management. Eventually, you're fired and banned just because you wanted to do your job in peace.

Response from TranscribeMe

Every transcriber has the opportunity to do as much or as little as they want. The minimum work requirement for transcribers is one transcription job per month. You do not depend on someone else's work to get your job done.

The actual employees/management does very little and dumps the work on the underpaid admins or yells at workers to do it with thinly veiled threats. So if they just actually did their job, that would be great.

Treat people that work for you like they matter. There is no reason I should have been treated so unfairly anbd now they refuse to pay me for the work i did.

Revisión Review del Departamento de Administración · Publicado hace 5 años

They don't pay the transcribers enough, so you're always behind for the clients. They advertise flexible hours, then require a minimum amount of work to be completed (even if there is no work) and remove you if you do not abide by these impossible rules.

Response from TranscribeMe

Starting pay is $15 per audio hour, as stated on our website. Transcribers are actively encouraged to join other teams with a higher pay rate. The minimum work requirement is one transcrption job/month, and you can file an inactivity notice otherwise

Better management and less politics/favoritism. The people that say they are there to help, aren't, and will target you if you go to them. And if they quit taking people's hard work and letting others complete it for compensation while the person that did it gets nothing. Communication.

TranscribeMe's management already knows who they will pick before putting out job announcements. The interview process is just to fill out the laughable contract that gives them rights to every breath you've made and prevents you from EVER saying anything negative for life.

Response from TranscribeMe

With over 2 million crowd workers, there is no way to know how many have the skills needed for admin roles as they become available. We do pride ourselves on promoting from within, and most of the admins today started out as transcribers.

They don't even know what to ask you. It always depends on what they need at the time, as though they're just asking questions to give them ideas of their own. They already know who they're picking. It's just a joke of a game they have to play while they try to benefit from it.

Other friendly people just trying to make a buck. Sadly I'm no longer still delusioned into thinking if I just try harder and type faster I'll actually get paid appropriately for my labour.

The low pay and stress of trying to hear every single "um" and "uh" makes it stressful.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

There's no winning. There are people that either like or hate someone and if that someone likes or hates you sets the tone of your environment. It's hostile and full of harassment. I think the only people happy, are those that manage to not get yelled at or criticized that particular day.
