Colloquio
Applied for a remote transcriptionist position. The "interview" process is all done online by taking four multiple choice tests on grammar and punctuation, etc., and then transcribing three audio clips.
I am a transcriptionist with over 20 years of experience, and was the manager of an entire medical transcription department for a large group of radiology imaging centers for six years. I also have past career experience as a technical writer.

The transcription testing part of the exam was ridiculous. It took me four hours to transcribe the three audio clips -- you can't use your foot pedal during these tests-- and it was also difficult following all of TranscribeMe's many style guidelines, while also trying to figure out how to properly transcribe people talking at the same time. I could hear what each person was saying, despite people talking at the same time. But how does TranscribeME want you to transcribe these types of conversations? Obviously, I didn't get it right -- I only scored about 81% on each of the three exams--and failed. How ridiculous. I am very intelligent and extremely detail-oriented, and went over my work several times for accuracy before submitting. These conversations were nowhere near as technical and complicated as medical transcription--they were easy exchanges. I think TranscribeMe is a WASTE OF TIME.
The interview process was more of an exam. You were able to study their basic format and guidelines and then you had to successfully transcribe two jobs with a small margin for error. It was a good introduction to the work you did and it was helpful to test your working knowledge of their guidelines. Once you passed, you were able to begin work!

Too intense, they expect 100%, it was too hard and the pay was not promising. It does not match the work available, not talk that transcription is a dying profession.

Do not waste your time trying to apply for them. I would advise doing thorough research before applying to any similar platform because the pay rates and level of common sense vary greatly from one platform to another. The TranscribeMe exam is difficult: it will take forever to prepare for, hours to complete and you will be rejected even if you pass. I wish I would have read other people's reviews before wasting so much of my time. After I passed the test, I quickly received an automated email stating that I violated their terms by opening multiple accounts or that the answers submitted were not entirely my own. Needless to say, neither was true. My guess is they have enough/too many people working on the platform and do not currently accept new entries. If this is the case, then they should suspend the application process. It's thick-skinned behavior, not to mention borderline cruel of them to allow applicants to waste so much time and energy in vain.
