I have been transcribing files today; first day. It is extremely slow to submit; takes forever. The files are short snippets of longer ones. They have been longer than 8-10 seconds but can't remember what the longest one was. I think it will be good for down times with my other clients but unless the submit times gets a whole lot faster (and I'm talking a whole lot), won't ever make any money.

There are two categories: earned as transcriber and earned as QA. I know QA stands for quality assurance but why do transcribers get paid for that and why are the numbers lower than the transcriber side? Thanks for any input.

Hey ladies...
I have been working with TranscribeMe for a couple months now. The last few weeks I have noticed it has gotten really s-l-o-w. I have very high speed broadband and I've tried 2 different computers...I am sure it's the site. The last couple days, I am getting all kinds of errors and I notice about 1 out of every 3 files actually does submit and I get credit for it...meaning I am doing all kinds of work for free! That is a real problem, because as you may have noticed, it takes anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes to actually pull up a file, then get it to submit...ridiculous! Does anyone have any contact info for TranscribeMe? I tried replying to their PayPal email but it bounced back to me. I am really frustrated and if I could find any other web-based transcription site I would definitely check it out. Advice? Thanks! |

This lack of ability to communicate with your contract when there is a problem or question is appalling, particularly when there's an issue with pay. You all deserve better than this.

I totally agree JoetteB. Add onto that the rate at which you are paid, sorry, but to me it's totally a no-brainer. It's just sad, so sad for this industry when people support this kind of behavior. The time spent messing with this could be time well spent looking for a decent transcription company or even individual posting thru Craigslist, Guru, Elance, Odesk, etc. I guess too many people just want things handed to them and not do the footwork, so they settle.

Hello,
Have you all been paid by transcribeme for this week? I know I have money owed to me, and they have never missed a date, so just wondering if there is a glitch somewhere. I emailed Helga, so hopefully I hear something back soon. Thanks! |

I'm pretty sure Helga has left TranscribeMe or if not, she's leaving shortly. There are so many complaints about rejections, non-payments etc on their Yammer group that I gave up on them a while ago. Their pay is extremely low, way below the industry standard and they are now rejecting a lot of transcription for QA "errors". Many of their QA people do not even have a good grasp of the English language, but they are now allowed to reject transcription. My personal advice is to stay far away from them. There's a lot of decent freelance transcription work out there that pays more in line with what we should be earning.
