Scribie - transcription work UK

Scribie

Scribie are a US company who pay in USD via Paypal. Payment is automatic and you can withdraw it any time you like. Their pay rates are definitely at the lower end of the scale at 5c-$20 for a six minute audio file. There are several levels of work, and you can gain promotion up to proofreading and quality control, which pay the higher rates – although most workers will never get access to the best rates. However, it’s relatively simple to get on their books and there’s no minimum time requirement. You can pick up as many or as few 6 minute files as you like. So many people see Scribie as a good starting point to get going with transcription work.  NB Scribie have some really good resources on their site to help you practise and decide if transcription work is for you.

They say their average worker earns $250 per month, and the top ones over $2000 a month.
