Pros

The TM team is very professional, quite helpful, and extremely encouraging. There is a great online forum where virtually every question can be asked and/or answered. The TM management staff have created a team environment which was VERY helpful to me when I was starting out, learning the ropes. Once you have familiarized yourself with their Style Guide, it's smooth sailing. I've been with TM since January of 2017 and I'm so glad that I took the chance. The pay is decent and you're in control of how much or how little time you put in. Opportunities for advancement to higher pay rates are also readily available.

Compared to some other transcription services with which I've worked, TM is TOP-NOTCH. I'm sticking with this one!!

Pros

I'm a stay-at-home parent, and this job is absolutely perfect for me. I get to put my copyediting skills and writing degree to use, and the hours are completely flexible. The admins offer so much positive support and feedback, and I have been able to advance quickly to a position of better pay and wider opportunities. I adore working here. If you're a grammar nerd like me, this is the perfect way to make some side money.

Pros

Only 2 exams that you have to pass

Advice to Management

80% should be good enough to join

Pros

TranscribeMe has been instructive and helpful since the beginning. Using the Yammer forums really helped me gain insight and education about the transcription world.
I work full time as a scientist and was needing something that I could do whenever I had some time because I'm always on-call. I was just needing some extra pocket money. I never considered myself a great typist, but average. After watching the videos and taking the tests I felt it was something I could handle.
I joined one other transcription company at the same time as TranscribeMe, and if it's any sign as to how welcoming and helpful TranscribeMe is; the other company fired me months ago because their criteria were almost unattainable. And they didn't offer any usable feedback to get better.
TranscribeMe also has better audio files than the other company, way less feedback and fewer files that have multiple speakers.
I started in July with the exams and was getting a few files a week for about a month. After about a month and a half one of the special teams reached out to me and since I've joined them I've been invited to other special teams. Now I can get all the files I need and I get paid different rates for the files. It's now the middle of October and I just passed my QA exam so I will start that adventure next. I probably could have gotten there sooner because I had more than enough logged hours, but I wanted to feel confident in my abilities as a Transcriber before testing for QA.
The company has never made me feel inadequate even for files that I felt were poor. They are supportive and the Yammer communities are familial in nature.
I look forward to doing this after a long day at work because it's something different. I also feel like my grammar and sentax are better than they used to be!
