Proper knowledge of the concerned accent, good typing speed, high level of concentration and patience is the key virtue for passing transcription test. Moreover, you must belong to Tier1 country which has enough opportunities for Transcription jobs.

I know that. But i will try to look for those accepting international membes. I am sure there is that kind of online jobs somewhere. Thanks.

[riddy09]

Most of the transcription sites accept international members as long as you get approved or pass their multiple tests. It means that you have enough knowledge on the English language to transcribe those files.

I think my current computer condition. I won't be able to do the transcription jobs. But I can focus on other jobs for sure.

It's actually one of the simplest requirement and mostly it will be your skills in the language and listening skills as well. Computer requirement is not that high as well because it's just about audio or video files unlike the programming that you need high end computer for the software.

@Riank thank you so much. I'll be checking on this. Will always be a great help for me. And I am sure will be to others as well.

Welcome! I just hope the length doesn't scare people away. The next posts will be shorter, but I figured that this time it'd be easier if everything were in just one reply.

[skysnap]

I think some of the time they also take you on basis for the per gig cost.

Well, they should expect it when they are into transcription sites. 5-10 minutes audio file can have at least 3-4 pages in a word document. And it's pretty long and definitely need to do proofreading.

[katkat]

@riddy09 Is it possible to listen to it first before accepting the job? How would we know how long it can be if we don't listen. But losing hope. I am still interested and want to learn more.

yeah that is sO very true! 6 minutes of audio are definitely not 6 minutes of writing, and definitely not 5 or 6 lines of text! But as with everything, in time you get the hang of it.

um, generally speaking yes! But it depends, mostly, on site policy. But a lot of sites let you choose which project you work on. But there are other hurdles.

Yes, you can. Although, some sites do give penalties for accepting the file and refuse if after several hours. There is also preview so it will be faster for you to decide if you accept it or not.

Can you share some sites that is not really that strict in their rules? I am hoping that those who have an experience with good sites will be sharing theirs. Thanking you in advance.

They pay decently so, they have rules and guidelines to follow. They have quality control or those who give ratings for every transcription you've made. It's more on a job so you have to do it like a job.

I read on postloop before
that some uses software to be able to donthe transcription easier. I cannot recall the full name of the software
but it has “dragon” on its name and can only be installed on pc/laptop.

[katkat]

Yeah I understand @riddy09 and @anorona thanks for giving me some points of this software. Maybe I can search it online and hopefully finds what I need in the future.

[rakski]

It is hard to pass transcription site. They want 100% accuracy on tests alone. Some needs you to pay a training before you can enter.

It's probably the Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Although, those are not gonna work on bad files that has background noise, interruptions and audios that you can't hear clearly.

There are no tricks. Either you hae sharp ears or not. I think that it is important to have phonetic skills
