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).

Is Gotranscript limited to certain countries
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.
hi po sir! i just wanted to ask if students can apply for this as a part time job, especially as a student here in the philippines?
Yes, I believe so! Go for it!
Does GoTranscript have their own template they use to write transcripts or will I be using Microsoft Word?
Hi Tabitha, no need to use MS Word. GoTranscript has its own ‘typing or editing box’ where you can write/edit what you are hearing in the audio.
Can me and my wife can do the gotranscript work in different locations from same account?
Yeah, I think so but just be mindful of the consistency of your work. It could affect your overall rating.
Hi, it says here that “Filipino transcription rights were removed for transcription rating: 3 (min. rating: 3.2).” Did they already terminate me for the job in GoTranscript?
Hello Hannah,
I am no longer working for GoTranscript. I got my hands full with other stuff. But I do hope you find what you’re looking for. Happy Holidays! =)
Hello, please can someone work on Go transcript with an android phone.
I attempted the Gotranscript test earlier in February but I haven’t gotten a reply since then. I sent them an email on the 27 of February concerning this but I still haven’t gotten a reply. Do you think I should wait a little longer?
I applied for a transcription job on the GoTranscript website and I did the test earlier in February, I was told to wait for 30 days to get my test result but I haven’t seen it since. I reach out to GoTranscript on their contact email but I still haven’t heard back from them.
