9 Best Transcription Jobs for Beginners in 2022

Quicktate

Quicktate is a transcription company that hires transcriptionists to type voice memos, letters, speeches, etc. As long as you pass the test, there is no requirement for previous experience. The pay is 1/6th of a cent per word for general and medical transcription.

One of the legit companies for beginner online transcription jobs is TranscribeMe. Entry-level positions are available at the company, and no previous experience is needed. You can do it if you have a good command of the English language and a decent typing speed.

You can start taking transcription jobs after passing the short TranscribeMe exam. If you fail the test, you can get another chance to redo the test after a couple of days.

Once you reach the threshold of $10, you can request a withdrawal from the weekly payments. It isn't mandatory, but you should use a foot pedal on their website.

The amount you make per audio hour will depend on your skill level, experience, and the time you take to finish transcripts. Most of the files that need to be transcribed are telephone calls, interviews, and speeches. Scribie requires a 2 hour turnaround time for each file.
