1. QA WORLD
I
recommend this as the number one transcription platform that works for all countries in Africa. I have tested this platform and got paid for my job
done.
With
QA World, you get paid depending on the length and difficulty of each audio you
transcribe. Many transcribers in this platform that I know boast of earning
more than $120 per week even when they work for a few hours.
QA
World has a good support system through an app called Slack where newbies can
get support from admins and other transcribers.
To
get started with QA world, you just need to register, confirm your application
on your email and write a short audio transcription test, if you pass, you can
start work immediately.
2. TRANSCRIBEME
TranscribeMe
is a Multilanguage audio transcription company. They accept transcriber for
almost all European languages.
This
is an excellent platform to start as a beginner transcriber because they give
opportunity for career advancement. This means that you if produce quality
transcription regularly, you will be moved up the ladder and get higher pay as a
QA first, then a Lead QA where you become a full-time employee.
TranscribeMe
pays about $0.33 per audio minute and all payments can be received Paypal once
you have accumulated up to $10.
Joining
TranscribeMe is free, fill out their registration form, and confirm registration on your email.
Upon
registration, you will be required to download some documents that have their
transcription format and guidelines which you have to study before you pass
their exams. If you did not pass their exams after the first sitting, you will
be given a chance to retry after 24 hours.
3. GOTRANSCRIPT
GoTranscript
is another platform that accepts transcribers worldwide. One interesting thing
about this platform is that they allow you to transcribe both audio and video
file formats.
Like
most transcription platforms, it is free to join GoTranscript. After joining, you
will be required to pass a short test where you will be required to transcribe
a video file.
As
for payments, GoTranscript pays about $0.67 per audio or video minute and
payments are sent through Paypal or Payoneer every Friday of the week.
4. SCRIBIE
This
is one of the lower-paying transcription companies, but they are worth a try. They
accept transcribers from Africa. They also claim to offer video transcribing opportunities.
With
Scribie, you can earn about $2.50 per 30 minutes audio which is a very low pay
compared to other platforms.
Similarities in all transcription platforms
- You are expected to have good headphone and a computer with steady internet access before you should consider transcribing.
- You must write a transcription test before you can start working
- For most platforms it is totally free to join.
- Transcriptions are mostly in the English language.

My Pick on Transcription
Transcription
is a very good way to a reasonable amount of money working from home. I recommend
it if you need some fast cash over the weekend. But it depends on how good you
can transcribe and the amount of time you spend doing it.
However, there are
other better ways of getting rich through the internet. Check out these Best ways to make Money Online in Africa
