We prepare verbatim, time-stamped transcripts from video and audio files made by various television production companies. We are looking for contractors who are work-at-home transcriptionists. They should be fast, reliable, and have flexible work schedules.

Content can be colorful so candidates should be open-minded. Since we regularly deal with unedited video for television, transcriptionist will hear crude language and come across alternative lifestyles.

Our clients require specific formatting that can be foreign to an experienced transcriptionist. Because of this, we will provide specific notes and examples for any interested applicant to train with. PREQUALIFICATION TESTING WILL NOT BE PAID. Training assistance will be provided.

Candidates who wish to apply for the job must successfully complete our prequalification test. The prequalification test is an 8-minute clip that you will need to transcribe. Training materials will be provided and will include examples of transcripts that are complete and have already been approved by a client. What you will be working on is not material to be returned to a client. It is material that will be used to gauge your speed, accuracy, punctuality in meeting a deadline, and ability to pick up our specific formatting. Your main goal will be to accurately replicate the example we've provided in a set amount of time. Training assistance will be provided via remote desktop software as well as over the phone.
