Meet Susan from the United States…

When did you get into transcription?

I became interested in transcribing when I was searching for work options from home, after my kids were old enough to leave me some free time. I was looking for something with enough flexibility to allow me to be there for them when needed, as well as take care of chores around our small farm periodically throughout the day.

Now since starting with TranscribeMe, I’ve transcribed over 15,000 audio and video files for medical, academic and corporate client projects.

What does your typical work environment look like?

I usually work from my large Mac desktop computer in a study, in a remote corner of the house. I’ve been able to slowly invest in better headphones, an ergonomic keyboard, a foot pedal and an office chair to complete my perfect transcribing area.

What else do you like to do when you’re not transcribing?

Photography, cooking, gardening (organic veggies, fruit, and flowers), raising chickens and ducks, knitting, reading, hiking, biking, canoeing, hanging with friends and my kids or watching kids at sports or drama or musical performances.

What’s your favorite tip to get the job done?

Finding a good, dedicated work space away from noise and distractions is always important for me.

What is your favorite part about being a part of TranscribeMe?

I love the flexibility. We can choose when and how much we work. Also, since I recently bought a laptop, I can now travel and take my work along.

Most recently, I was working from a hotel in Quebec City while the kids spent some time exploring on their own (a very safe city!) and then we all hung out watching the Olympics while I worked more in the evening!

Meet Jomo from the United States…

When did you get into transcription?

About two years ago, I was looking for a way to make some extra money and I knew that I was good at typing, so I looked online and came across a couple of transcription companies. I looked into TranscribeMe and thought that I would give it a try, and I have been here ever since!

I’m an expert when it comes to Medical, Legal, Educational, and Business transcription needs, and have effectively transcribed over 1,000+ hours of audio and video files so far.

What does your typical work environment look like, and what else do you like to do?

I work out of my home office on my PC, which has been great. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies, traveling, and spending time with my family.

What’s your favorite transcription tip for getting the job done?

The more you work, the better you get! I am proud that I have gone from being able to completing one audio file in a day, to three in one day.

What is your favorite part about being a part of TranscribeMe?

I enjoy being able to work at my own pace and my own time. The independence and freedom is great.

How – let’s look at a few examples.

• Many people with disabilities require or prefer remote job opportunities because a commute is either unfeasible or much more difficult for them than others.
• New parents who have quit their full time jobs to be at home may prefer to spend some additional time with their children in the first few years.
• Likewise, people who care for elderly parents, sick children, or other relatives may benefit from opportunities to work from home.
• On the other end of the spectrum, some people searching for job flexibility so they can pursue travel or sports are still able to make consistent money that doesn’t tie them down to a nine-to-five desk job.

Although all of these people might seem very different, they all have common needs: flexible work schedules, consistent work, and remote work, and growth opportunities.

Here at TranscribeMe, we have a unique opportunity to offer thousands of jobs for any qualified worker. To become qualified, here is what you need:

• Access to a computer and Internet access.
• Pass our transcriber exam.
• Tell us which languages you can work with, so we can route work to you correctly.

Because we are growing quickly, job offerings may soon include other types of work in addition to transcription, so there are plenty of growth opportunities as well as leadership roles to be filled with the plans for expansion.
