To start working for this online company, you need first to make an application.
1 – Click HERE to go to their website.
2 – On the middle bottom part of the page, click on the ‘Apply Now’ button.
3 – You will be redirected to the signup page, whereby there are two choices: To sign up using Facebook or Google.
4 – After selecting the email address you would like to use for GoTranscript, you will be redirected to a new page.
5 – Here you have a quiz wherein you need to achieve a 100% passing rate of all the 14 questions being asked.
If you fail the test you will be allowed to retake it again.
6 – After passing the quiz, you then next to complete a transcription audio test (in the English language) before being assigned to work.
The transcription test job usually has a non-native English speaker to test whether in the future once you have passed the tests that you will be able to handle the task. Most of the jobs that Gotranscript clients may want to be transcribed may also be of low video quality and speakers who have strong accents. It is therefore essential to make sure that the person to be hired can handle this type of work.
TIP: To help you hasten your transcription test job, download the audio file first and use Otter app. Otter both works on computers as well as mobile phones. It turns voice conversations into text. It’s not 100% accurate but believe me, it really does help especially in speeding up the whole process.
7 – Once you submitted your test job, an email will be sent to you telling you to wait for the results–whether you pass or not. The result can take up to 30 days but normally within a week.
Thank you for this great review, I think it is a good start for me seeking online jobs. in order to work as a transcriber you have to be good at grammar and punctuation, what do you suggest for study resources?
Well, Grammarly has helped improved my English writing since I started my blogging and transcribing works. Grammarly automatically detects potential grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice, and style mistakes in writing. Try it, too.
a great review! thanks! does the transcription need to be 100% accurate?
No, it doesn’t. You just need to maintain an average rating of 4.0 (max is 5.0).
Very Helpful!!! Looking for a job kasi while lockdown and for students like me its hard to find one since some companies prefer experienced applicants.
Hi Jocel, I am glad you feel that way. Hugs from Thailand! =)
Hi Dan! Is there any internet and system requirements for this type of job?
Hi Melody, not that I can think of. As long as you have a working laptop and internet, it’s totally fine. Working with transcription doesn’t really require too much or heavy memory.
