Before you dive in

What GoTranscript’s own pages say, checked by us. Advertised rates are not verified earnings, and an application link does not mean paid tasks are available.

ApplicationsCompany-stated

Applications run through a two-step process on the transcription jobs page: read the guidelines, then take a short language-specific test. The page says hiring is fully open, but some languages show a waitlist instead of an apply button.

Advertised payCompany-stated

Pay is per audio minute (the file length, not your working time). The page advertises up to $1.75 per minute; its rate tool shows $0.65 per minute for English with a company-stated average of $1,170 and top earners of $3,250 per month. Rates vary by language, accuracy and task, and these are not a measure of typical earnings.

Assessments and unpaid timeNot fully confirmed

Each language requires its own test. The page states there is no application fee and failed tests can be retaken on the same account; whether test time is paid is not stated (it appears to be unpaid screening).

Available workCompany-stated

The page says it is short on transcribers, and about 126 of the 155 listed languages accept applications while the rest show a waitlist. Approved workers pick files from a dashboard with no minimum hours, so actual volume depends on available jobs.
