Vantaggi
You get to work from home listening to transcriptions and typing them. It is not very hard.
Svantaggi
The pay is miserable. I was doing the translation/transcription role which already pays higher than the transcription role. But even so, the pay is still totally miserable. Although it is not hard, but it is very tedious. You have to listen to the audio recording for many many times just to accurately transcribe/translate it. Plus you have to note down all the timings. Not just so, sometimes the recording is very bad so you can't even hear properly. And if there is any slight error your pay would be docked in half. I once typed 19 pages worth of translated transcription only to get 20 USD in payment, cos apparently there were a few mistakes? I don't even want to email the company to ask about it--waste of my time. I just know that I won't want to offer my service for this anymore. This job might be suited for those based in the developing countries, so after exchanging USD to local currency, the pay might seem more reasonable. If not it is a complete waste of your time. 20 USD for 19 pages of word for word translated transcription? That took me 8 hours? Seriously. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY HARD UP FOR MONEY. You might earn more begging on the streets.
