I started working for this company because they are one of the few that will hire beginner transcribers. If you pass their test then they will certify you and you can work as much or as little as you want. No expectations. You work around your own schedule. But this company pays very low. 50 cents per 6 minute audio. So even if it takes you an hour, you still only get 50 cents.

After so long you can work your way up to Reviewer then Proofreader and then to Quality Check. Proofreader and QC salary positions are available if you meet certain criteria. The pay gets a little better as you move up but still not the best. 

Transcribers and reviewers only do 6-minute audio files and below. Proofreaders can proofread anywhere from 6-minute audios to one-hour audio files. Mostly the files are around 10-20 minutes on average. There is a time limit for each file and you can request to extend the time on a file if you need to and most of the time you can but there are some few exceptions where they won't extend the time.

The support staff is amazing! The company has a live chat option and they have helped me numerous times! So the company is great but you don't get paid all that well and there are no benefits except for being able to make your schedule.

One example of this job being terrible is when I transcripted 10 minutes worth of audio, submitted it for review, and then the customer canceled. 2 hours of work for no money. I at least expect some compensation for the wasted hours that I put it. Not only that, even if I did get paid, but I was only getting 1 dollar which is useless.
Just disappointing. 

Apparently pay increases after you get promoted after 60 mins of work at a high enough level. How am I supposed to reach that point If none of my work can be reviewed! No wonder customers are canceling as no-one is reviewing the transcript files.

I thought, entering this job would maybe get me an extra 10 dollars a day, my expectations were very low anyway, but I really wasn't expecting this.

It's definitely a grind. You start out transcribing, & chances are you won't make more than 4 bucks an hour- if that. If you can get through the first couple stages of "promotion", you may be able to make slightly over minimum wage. Work from home, whenever you want. Applying & getting started is simple. If you've got absolutely nothing else going & can get through the initial tedious grind, it may be worth it for some side cash.

Providing a good place so that you can work away and have a good income and do not need a supervisor is very useful.  It is easy to work with and it gives the possibility to the person who uses it to get to her work safely

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. The jobs are fine at first, but later the managers give you really bad work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get work that's worthwhile. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was remote. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very weary.

My typical day starts with logging on to their secure site and searching for files available. Most files I have gotten have been focus groups, interviews, dictations and things of that nature. Each file is about six minutes in length and easy to complete. All the work is done on my own time and on my own accord.

Low-quality audios
Ridiculous payments
Poor review process
Too little human interaction with workers

Use Scribie only as a training platform. It is not worth anybody's time working  here.

This company is a disgrace... What more need I say? They constantly change rules and standards to basically steal your earnings and you have no choice other than to complain then you're account will be closed. They are thieves!

I'm still working  at Scribie as a transcriber. I enjoy because  there's always a lot of files to transcribe. Sometimes they reject your work which means you don't get paid at all for all the hours you put it. I love working  from home as I get to spend time with my son.

Was good for beginning a transcription career  however for the amount of time it took to transcribe a file, the pay was extremely minimal. I felt I was working very hard and should be entitled to a little more in the way of compensation
