Types of Work-at-Home Opportunities at Scribie Scribie contracts with work-at-home transcriptionists, transcription reviewers and proofreaders. Customers audio files are divided into 6-minute segments. Transcriptionists listen to the segments and transcribe. Reviewers then check the work of the transcribers, listening to the audio and reading the text. An experienced transcriber can become a reviewer and then a self-reviewer who checks their own work. Turnaround time (TAT) for these audio segments is two hours. Proofreaders, which are drawn from the ranks the best t ranscribers and reviewers, look over the final product with all the segments put together. How Scribie Works After being accepted as a transcriber, you can login and select any files, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Assignments must be submitted within the 2-hours turnaround time window (though 1-hour extension is permitted). All work is graded on a 5-point scale, with 5 being excellent and 1 poor. After 10 transcripts with an average grade above 2.75, you may be promoted as a reviewer. Next you can be promoted to self-reviewer after 10 review submissions with an average grade above 3.25. As a self-reviewer you can select the same file for transcription and review, effectively doubling your payment rate. If your average grade falls below 2.75, you will not be able to select any assignments, but you can still accrue referral and affiliate commissions. Pay and Benefits All Scribies transcribers, reviewers and proofreaders are hired as independent contr actors. This means there are no benefits and no guarantee of minimum wage. Read more about how and what data entry companies pay. Payment is $10 per audio hour for transcribers and reviewers. Audio hour means the minutes of the actual recorded audio, not the time it takes to review or transcribe it. So, one 6-minute segment is worth $1. Scribie says the average time it takes for one 6-minute audio file is 18 minutes, making the average hourly rate just over $3/hour. However, there is a $10 bonus, paid monthly, for every 3 audio hours submitted and there are opportunities for commissions based on referrals of customers and other transcribers. Payment is through PayPal account only. Payments for completed and reviewed work are immediately credited to your Scribie account and can be transferred to your PayPal account at any time, though there is a penalty for withdrawing from an account with less than $30.
