Transcriber/Independent Contractor (Former Employee) - Remote - July 25, 2021

Indeed Featured review

Good opportunity to add to resume. Pay is not really sustainable to live on. With experience with the company, there are a few opportunities to join other projects.

Easy and fun

Transcriptionist (Current Employee) - Philippines - August 7, 2023

Easy and fun to do as extra income. Pay is low but always give pay on time. Great way to past time. It really helped me on my vocabulary and reading comprehension.

General Transcription - Pay is low. No advancement.

Transcriptionist (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - March 4, 2020

The work is mostly steady. You are paid 1cent for every 4 words you type for general transcription and 1 cent every 2 words for medical transcription. Audio is mostly of good sound quality. I have never made over 200 dollars in one month. Good side gig for pizza or gas money.

Pros

Flexible work times.

Cons

Very low pay

Good for extra Income

Transcriber (Current Employee) - South Africa - July 14, 2019

Basically you will be waiting for transcription jobs to come in and you just convert audio to text. It is ideal for someone who is a beginner transcriber. Transcription jobs are allocated to the fastest and most accurate transcribers so work load just varies.

Pros

Extra Income

Cons

Very Very Very low pay rates it's just not worth it!

Transcription at Quicktate

Transcriptionist (Current Employee) - Remote - May 1, 2018

Quicktate is more of a when you want to job. They pay by the word or applicant review. While there is an opportunity to make higher pay it is extremely difficult unless you know another language or do medical transcripts. I did obtain the knowledge of taking incoming calls and transcribing them in a high speed, accurate grammar and spelling, as well as following the provided guidelines.

Pros

No set schedule, not limits of projects, work from home

Cons

low pay

Great company to work from home

Transcriptionist/DataEntry (Current Employee) - Glendora, CA - August 20, 2015

Great company to work for. I've enjoyed being able to work from home. It's given me the freedom to balance a schedule for my life with my children. They let you pick and chose the time you work and you take on as many jobs as you can handle. I've enjoyed working for them these past 5 years.

Not worth it

Agent (Former Employee) - Remote - August 18, 2015

The amount of calls you receive never adds up to over 5.00 an hour. I type over 120 words were minute, so this wasn't from my ability to get the job done.

Not much to summarize

Transcriptionist (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - April 17, 2015

I did this job as I could, sometimes only an hour a week. Very hard to review because there wasn't much work available here and many times, I wasn't available to work. This was basically contract work and was there to do as I was available and many times they weren't able to provide any work.

Pros

Some weeks, there was frequent jobs

Cons

Many weeks, no work

Fun and manageable time table for work and family

Online Transcriptionist (Current Employee) - Davao City, P11 - February 2, 2015

Working online sometimes is very skeptical. There are a lot of scams out there but I am very lucky that this is not the case with Quicktate. I enjoy most the fact that I can work anytime and to still have ample time for my friends and family is really a big bonus for me.

Pros

Manageable work schedule

Cons

Different time zones

Steady work, very low pay

Freelance Transcription (Current Employee) - Home - November 28, 2014

It's a great way to make a few extra spending dollars and maintain typing and transcription skills, but the pay is extraordinarily low (as low as. $0.001 per word).

Online transcription

Online transcriptionist (Current Employee) - work at home - August 14, 2012

Good company to work for for additional income, but not enough is made to make this company your main source of income. You log into a website and transcribe the messages that are sent o you.
