<h1>Yukon Project at Appen: What It Is, Guidelines, Exam, Pay & More</h1>
<section id="project-termination-update" style="border: 2px solid #e74c3c; padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px; margin-top: 20px; background-color: #f9f9f9;">
    <h2 style="color: #e74c3c; margin-top: 10px;">Project Termination Update</h2>
    <h3>Current Status of Project Yukon</h3>
    <p>
        As of March 19, 2024, the Appen Yukon Project has been terminated. Google ended its contract with Appen, leading to the discontinuation of this project and others. Many raters received termination letters confirming the closure. Former Yukon participants are encouraged to explore alternative opportunities with similar companies like <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/company/telus-international">Telus</a>, <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/company/oneforma">OneForma</a>, <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/company/dataforce">DataForce</a> and <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/company/welocalize">Welocalize</a>. For those seeking new projects, it's advisable to regularly check the available projects board on the Appen dashboard for updates on new and ongoing projects.
    </p>
</section>
<h2>What is the Yukon Project?</h2>
<p><strong>Project Yukon</strong> is a <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/search-evaluation">search engine evaluator job</a> at <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/appen/">Appen</a> for its client Google. The core of this online job is to rate the quality of web pages and the relevance of search results. Google uses raters' feedback to evaluate whether tweaks in the algorithm would produce a beneficial outcome (i.e. search results that are, on average, more relevant and of good quality).</p>
<p>Besides the basic quality and relevance evaluation, participants of Project Yukon may also be requested to perform dozens of other tasks that are related to how the search engine performs. For example:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Rate how much an automated voice sounds natural</li>
 <li>Determine what topics are central or secondary to explain what a given web page is about</li>
 <li>Classify local or online businesses according to a list of predefined categories</li>
 <li>Classify the user intent for a given search query</li>
 <li>Etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Yukon project at Appen is one of the <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/wfh-jobs-beginners/">best entry-level opportunities in the work-from-home industry</a> as it requires no prior experience or specific technical skills.</p>

<h2>How to Apply</h2>
<p>To apply for the Yukon Project at <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/company/appen">Appen</a>, first, you need to complete the registration form that is available after selecting your country of residence on <a href="https://connect.appen.com/qrp/public/jobs/list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this page</a>. This is the application page for the <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/internet-analyst-appen/">Internet Analyst position</a>, which is the name by which Appen refers to their home-based, independent agents.</p>
<p>Once you are admitted as an Internet Analyst, you need to check if the Project Yukon is available in their projects dashboard. Yukon is one of the many <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/entry-level">entry-level online jobs</a> that can be available for Appen raters. To increase your chances of being successful, make sure to read our post with tips on <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/appen-work-from-home/">working from home with Appen</a>.</p>

<h2>Yukon Guidelines</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/pages/general-guidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Guidelines</a> used in the Yukon Project are made publicly available by Google. You can download it <a href="http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidelines.raterhub.com/en//searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>The guidelines are usually updated once or twice a year. The latest version of that document dates from December 2022 and has 176 pages, which are organized into three main sections.</p>
<p><strong>Part 1</strong> is the Page Quality Rating Guideline, where Google provides details on the quality attributes that should be observed by raters. Special attention is given to the E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness) of pages, particularly YMYL pages -- which stands for "Your Money or Your Life", meaning topics or pages that could potentially impact a person’s future happiness, health, financial stability, or safety.</p>
<p><strong>Part 2</strong> is about Understanding Mobile User Needs, which is a fundamental step to the process of defining a relevance rating for the search result.</p>
<p><strong>Part 3</strong> is the Needs Met Rating Guideline, where Google provides details and several examples of factors that affect the relevance of a search result. The rating levels are named after the extent by which the results meet the needs of the users, hence the term <em>Needs Met</em>.</p>

<h2><a id="yukon-exam"></a>Yukon Project Exam</h2>
<p>Project Yukon's qualification exam is divided into three parts:</p>
<ol>
 <li>A multiple-choice exam directly based on the theoretical content of the guidelines</li>
 <li>A hands-on Quality rating exam</li>
 <li>A hands-on Needs Met rating exam</li>
</ol>
<p>Candidates must pass each exam in order to progress to the next one. For example, to take the Needs Met rating test, the candidate must have already passed the two previous exams.</p>
<p>The multiple-choice test is considered the easiest of the three, as candidates can refer to the guidelines for the correct answers. The hands-on tests are more difficult because candidates must rate pages and results that are not exactly the same ones used as examples in the general guidelines.</p>
<p>Most candidates that fail in any of the three tests are given a second chance -- unless they fail badly. This second chance is not guaranteed though, so <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">preparation is the key</a> for anyone serious about passing the tests.</p>

<h3>What are the exam answers?</h3>
<p>Part 1 is the only test of the Yukon qualification exam that is always the same, so if you are looking for the exam answers, you are probably referring to those multiple-choice questions. It makes no sense to look for the answers in parts 2 and 3 since the tasks used on these exams change from time to time.</p>
<p>Disclosing Yukon exam answers is not part of our proposal. First, because doing so would be unethical. Secondly, it wouldn’t be beneficial for you, since you would probably fail the next two parts without mastering the concepts provided in the general guidelines.</p>
<p>Most importantly, cheating on the exam would likely result in you leaving the project within a few weeks or months of receiving an offer, as the performance of newly hired evaluators is closely monitored by their quality team.</p>
<p>If you are looking to boost your preparation for the exam, we suggest you enroll in the courses available at the <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Search Evaluator Academy</a>.</p>

<h2>Yukon Project Pay</h2>
<p>The current pay rate for newcomers can range from $3/hour (i.e. rate in India) to $14/hour (i.e. rate in some European countries).&nbsp;The pay rate varies depending on the rater's country. For the US, the rate also varies by state.</p>
<p>In general, the pay rate for Appen home-based agents does not vary too much from project to project. Therefore, you can get an idea about the hourly rate that Yukon pays in your country once you are admitted to some project through <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/appen-connect/">Appen Connect</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/search-engine-evaluator">Search engine evaluators</a> earn by the hour and are paid on a monthly basis, no matter their locale or position type.</p>

<h3>Payment Method</h3>

<p>Appen uses <a href="https://discover.payoneer.com/partner/wahojobs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Payoneer</a>, a widely-used international payment platform, as their primary means of disbursing earnings. Through Payoneer, workers at Appen can access their payments and have several withdrawal options. This system is a part of Appen's approach to facilitate consistent and straightforward payment procedures for its global workforce.</p>

<p>When you <a href="https://discover.payoneer.com/partner/wahojobs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">sign up for a Payoneer account</a> with our link, you receive 50 USD cashback immediately when your account reaches a minimum accumulated amount of 1,000 USD.</p>

<h2>How to prepare for the Yukon Exam?</h2>
<p>You can prepare for the <b>Yukon exam</b> by reading the <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/pages/general-guidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">general guidelines</a> in advance and enrolling in our courses at the <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Search Evaluator Academy</a>.</p>

<h3>Courses</h3>

<p>The <a href="https://seacademy.wahojobs.com/courses/search-quality-rater-guidelines-training" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guidelines Training course</a> slightly targets Part 1, and moderately targets Parts 2 and 3 of the Yukon Project exam.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://seacademy.wahojobs.com/courses/sea-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEA Model course</a> isn't helpful for Part 1, but it moderately targets Part 2 and highly targets Part 3.</p>

<p>Legend:</p>
<p><em>Slightly Targets = Some parts of the course are somewhat helpful for that part of the exam</em></p>
<p><em>Moderately Targets = Some parts of the course are helpful for that part of the exam</em></p>
<p><em>Highly Targets = Some parts of the course are very helpful for that part of the exam</em></p>
<br><p>If you are on a budget, a plausible preparation strategy would be to enroll in the <strong>SEA Model course</strong> only if and after you've failed your first attempt at the exam -- considering that many applicants who fail are given a second chance.</p>

Jobs related to online teaching or instruction in a variety of subjects

# What Is an Online Tutor? (+ How to Become One)

The world of education is constantly evolving, and with the rise of technology, online tutoring has emerged as a prominent and accessible career option.

Another one of the most profound benefits of being an online tutor is the ability to reach and connect with students from various parts of the globe, opening doors to a much wider market for your knowledge and expertise.

Online jobs that involve converting spoken language into written text

<h1>What is a Transcriptionist? A Great Online Job for Beginners</h1>
<p>Thinking of building an online career as an <strong>audio transcriber</strong>? You are on the right track. In a world where everybody is judged by social status, there’s no better feeling than achieving financial independence. As more and more individuals, companies, and organizations continue to consume all manner of voice recordings, becoming a professional audio transcriptionist presents great possibilities to make money from home.</p>
<p>Of course, everybody would love to build an excellent career that assures work-life balance, and with lots of growth opportunities. Question is, do you have what it takes to make it in a challenging employment market, where job displacements and replacements have become the norm?</p>
<p>As you continue your job search exploits in the new world of remote work, you may want to check out our guide to becoming a transcriptionist to find out if this is the perfect field for you. This post is intended to serve as a basic overview of the field of transcription, highlighting what a transcriber’s role entails, the must-have transcription tools and equipment, types of transcription jobs, transcription training, and salary potential among the rest.</p>

<h2>What is a Transcriptionist?</h2>
<p>Naturally, a <strong>transcriptionist </strong>is tasked with converting audio files to document or text formats. The variation in <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/transcription/">transcription jobs</a> today is obvious. From general transcription to legal, and medical, choosing the most suitable category has become more of a personal decision. </p>
<p>Often, general transcriptionists are well trained to handle any task in the field. However, specific entities such as the aforementioned medical and legal fields require special training to help individuals to familiarize themselves with the industry jargons.</p>

<h2>Types of Transcription Jobs</h2>
<p>Ever wanted to work as a transcriptionist but couldn’t find the most suitable category? Don’t worry. This post still got you covered. Ideally, modern <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/transcription/">transcription jobs</a> can be divided into three major categories as outlined below:</p>
<ul><li>Industry</li><li>Media </li><li>Formatting</li><li>Technology</li><li>Certification Requirements</li></ul>

<h3>Categorizing Transcription Jobs by Industry</h3>
<p>When searching for transcription jobs by industry, you will usually see the following options:</p>
<ul><li>General transcription</li><li>Medical transcription</li><li>Legal transcription</li><li>Academic transcription</li><li>Business transcription</li><li>Conference transcription</li><li>Interview transcription</li><li>Focus group transcription</li><li>Market research transcription</li><li>Podcast transcription</li><li>Sermon transcription</li></ul>

<h4>3 Most Popular Types of Transcription Jobs by Industry</h4>

<h5><strong>Medical Transcription</strong></h5>
<p><a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/medical-transcription/">Medical transcription</a> is exactly what it sounds like, transcribing voice recordings from doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals. A day in the life of a medical transcriptionist can be hectic, transcribing everything from clinical summaries to health records, medical charts, and insurance claims.</p>

<h5><strong>Legal Transcription</strong></h5>
<p>Like many transcription jobs, <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/legal-transcription/">legal transcription</a> involves converting voice recordings to text documents. However, these transcripts are made from dictated notes, court proceedings, legal briefs, depositions, interrogations, and other sources of legal information.</p>

<h5><strong>General Transcription</strong></h5>
<p>General transcription is probably the most common form of transcription today, focusing on a wide range of concepts such as speeches, interviews, conference calls, phone messages, and workshops.</p>

<h3>Categorizing Transcription Jobs by Media</h3>
<p>The following are the most common types of transcription jobs classified by media:</p>
<ul><li>Audio transcription</li><li><a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/video-transcription/">Video Transcription</a></li><li>Online Transcription</li></ul>

<h3>Categorizing Transcription Jobs by Formatting</h3>
<p>Transcription jobs can also be classified by formatting. Again, you will have the following options: &nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>Verbatim transcription</li><li>Edited transcription</li><li>Intelligent transcription</li><li>Phonetic transcription</li></ul>

<h4><strong>Verbatim Transcription</strong></h4>
<p>Strict verbatim or true verbatim as it is sometimes called is one of the most comprehensive forms of transcription. It is intended to capture every minor detail of the recording, from non-verbal cues to pauses, and filler words used by the speaker. When more than one speaker is involved, verbatim transcripts may feature overlapping conversations, interruptions, and affirmations.</p>

<h4><strong>Intelligent Transcription</strong></h4>
<p>It’s called intelligent transcription for a reason. Unlike many forms of transcription, intelligent transcription aims to deliver excellent transcripts in the clearest form. The audio transcribers can edit and remove different parts of the speech to give a concise test in its simplest, natural format.</p>

<h4><strong>Edited Transcription</strong></h4>
<p>Edited transcription is always likened to verbatim transcription for a reason. Here, the transcriber is more committed to maintaining the meaning of the text document<strong>.</strong> Edited transcriptionists believe that a properly transcribed audio file doesn’t have to change the original meaning of the text. But unlike in many forms of transcription, filler words are always ignored. In a nutshell, edited transcription aims to establish the right balance between readability and completeness.</p>

<h4><strong>Phonetic Transcription</strong></h4>
<p>Phonetic transcription is a unique entity that emphasizes word pronunciation. This type of transcription focuses on a variety of issues such as intonation and overlapping sounds within the voice recording.</p>

<h3>Categorizing Transcription Jobs by Technology</h3>
<p>There’s no doubt speech recognition technologies have revolutionized the job search market. Still, it doesn’t eliminate the need to bring competent human transcriptionists on board. As already mentioned, transcription jobs can also be divided by technology. And here, you will find two broad categories including the automated and manual types whose details are covered below.</p>

<h4><strong>Automated Transcription</strong></h4>
<p>As its name suggests, automated transcription involves the use of speech recognition technology to convert an audio or video file into its written or text format. As you may be aware, artificial intelligence is fully involved in this process. Some people argue that this form of transcription never recognizes language context, which is up for debate.</p>

<h4><strong>Manual Transcription</strong></h4>
<p>Manual transcription is exactly what you may guess, the process of delegating transcription duties to professional audio transcribers. Tons of industries ranging from medical to legal, business, and academic require first-rate services with high success rates and this is where a specialist’s advice comes in handy. Usually, manual transcription is used as the last step in polishing content before it is presented to an audience.</p>

<h3>Categorizing Transcription Jobs by Certification Requirements</h3>
<p>As you may already know, transcription jobs can be done full-time or on a part-time basis. The easiest path to becoming a professional transcriber is to enroll in the right certification courses. The time limit could be pretty short, involving just a few weeks of intense training or as long as 12 months for medical transcriptionists.</p>
<p>As competition for the available opportunities becomes even stiffer, it’s pretty obvious that getting certified is a surefire way to increase your earning potential regardless of your area of specialization. Based on the certification requirements, you can either become a <em>certified </em>or <em>non-certified</em> audio and video transcriber.</p>

<h2>How Much Does a Transcriptionist Make?</h2>
<p>A recent data report on the <a href="https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Transcriber/Hourly_Rate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PayScale</a> website states that the average salary for a professional transcriber is around $15.03 per hour. This figure can easily rise to about $25-$35 per hour with advanced training. As it turns out, working as a transcriptionist also comes with one of the biggest benefits in terms of flexible working schedules and new career opportunities.</p>
<p>On a typical day, you can choose to work for as much or as little as you want, depending on your schedule. Given the nature of their roles, medical transcriptionists can make up to $17.50 per hour. Legal transcriptionists, on the other hand, can earn anything between $20,000 to $60,000 annually. What a way to jumpstart your freelancing career!</p>

<h3>What Determines a Transcriber’s Salary?</h3>
<p>Now, this is a tough one to answer, for many reasons. Turns out tons of variables will play a key role in determining your ultimate paycheck. A few important considerations include the following:</p>
<ul><li>Your skill level</li><li>The company or organization you are working for</li><li>Nature and complexity of the transcription jobs</li><li>Experience</li><li>Qualifications</li><li>The volume of work completed</li></ul>
<p>As a beginner, it is highly recommended to focus on low-paying jobs that will help enhance your skills as you steadily climb the corporate ladder. What’s more, you will be paid per hour when handling most of the transcription jobs.</p>

<h2>How to Become a Transcriptionist?</h2>
<p>When you are just getting started, don’t feel frustrated if you fail to land your first gig right away. It takes time, and rightly so. The harsh reality about freelancing jobs is the fact they will never act as quick fixes to your financial woes. And transcription is no exception. It takes patience, commitment, and hard work to stand out from the crowd.</p>
<p>Now, the first step to landing your first gig is to get the right skills. You may want to check out online courses from reliable websites to get your career off to a good start. Also, you will need the right transcription software, a reliable internet connection, a headset, and a foot pedal in some cases.</p>
<p>Of course, a college degree is not a compulsory requirement for general transcriptionists, even though you should take some form of training in advance. Legal and medical transcription, on the other hand, require specialized training because you will be dealing with lots of technical terms.</p>
<p>Even though excellent grammar, proper spelling, and fast typing speed are some of the most desirable qualities a professional transcriber can have, they may not be enough to help you land your first job. Hiring managers are always on the lookout for self-motivated individuals who can get things done with the utmost precision. That’s why we always advise all aspiring transcribers to invest in training courses. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The right training course should be all-inclusive, covering everything there’s to know about transcription right from equipment and software to typing, punctuation, dictations, and marketing.</p>

<h3>Companies That Offer Transcription Jobs</h3>
<p>Generally, transcription jobs are available through many platforms, and one of the outstanding options is online companies. For newbies, the list of reliable <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/transcription-companies-hiring/">companies offering transcription jobs</a> is somewhat inexhaustible.

What Is a Transcriptionist? (+ Transcription Jobs & Salary)

<h1>What is a Legal Transcriptionist? (And How to Become One)</h1>
<p>Imagine knowing that your role in a court proceeding could either make or break an individual. How distressing would it be? That’s the price you pay for being a lawyer. Modern-day attorneys are smart, but smartness is a too relative term to substitute experience.</p>
<p>It takes flexibility, consistency, and efficiency to become an excellent lawyer who can demonstrate an exceptional mastery of legal concepts. But even then, strict deadlines, constant pressure, ever-changing legal concepts, long hours of work, and extremely demanding clients all add up to make a lawyer’s job quite unbearable at times. Towards this end, many lawyers find the role of <strong>legal transcriptionists</strong> increasingly important in helping them deliver their services effortlessly.</p>
<p>Accurate documentation of legal transcripts allows for effective case analysis and future reference, and may also impart important knowledge to legal professionals. Today, let’s focus on the details of this <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/transcription">transcription job</a> known as legal transcription including what it is, how to become a legal transcriptionist, the required training, the available roles, and the expected salary package among the rest. Is it the best option for work from home moms and dads looking for a new challenge? Let’s find out shortly.</p>

<h2>What is a Legal Transcriptionist?</h2>
<p><strong>Legal transcriptionists</strong> are professionals tasked with listening to dictated notes and recordings from paralegals, attorneys, and similar professionals and converting this information into legal documents. Satisfying the competitive qualification requirements will go a long way towards helping you launch a successful career in this field. </p>
<p>As a legal transcriptionist, some of the documents you will be expected to work on include motions, legal memorandums, time entries, agreements, pleadings, discovery, and correspondence.</p>

<h2>Do I Need a Certificate to Work as a Legal Transcriptionist? </h2>
<p>While <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/transcriptionist/">general transcription</a> requires no experience or a proven background in specific fields, legal transcription takes a job-centric approach, where candidates must fulfill the competitive prerequisites before building a career around this niche. This includes satisfying the work experience requirements, and educational qualifications such as attaining a college degree, diploma, or certification.</p>
<p>Generally, most of the hiring managers prefer to work with respectable professionals who have already attained the required certifications, also known as career diplomas. Other employers even make certifications a mandatory requirement for filling the vacant job roles. Certifications are revered because they give you the best chance of landing your first job in the field by helping you stand out from the crowd.</p>

<h3>Types of Legal Transcription Certifications</h3>
<p>Currently, there are no specific legal transcription certifications offered to legal transcriptionists. However, students can opt for online programs and classroom-based courses that focus on key aspects of legal transcription. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of the professional training for legal transcription, candidates may want to attain the required certifications to gain invaluable skills for more advanced jobs. Instead of spending a fortune on college degrees and associate programs, most of the aspiring legal transcriptionists choose to start with certifications.</p>
<p>In many instances, such courses are offered by community colleges and vocational schools in as little as 6 months. It should be stated that the skills you gain from certification training will not act as a prerequisite for earning a college degree when you finally choose to do so. Still, they give valuable hands-on experience with transcription equipment and software and comprehensive mastery of a wide range of legal concepts.</p>

<h2>Types of Legal Transcription Jobs</h2>
<p>Legal transcription covers a wide range of services, all of which may be tailored to suit specific needs. Some of the most popular types include the following;</p>
<ul><li>Pleadings</li><li>Sworn statements</li><li>Depositions</li><li>Subpoenas and Summons</li><li>Hearings</li><li>Interrogations</li><li>Phone calls and wiretaps</li><li>Memorandums</li><li>Dictations, conferences, and meetings</li></ul>

<h3>Pleadings</h3>
<p>Pleadings refer to legally written statements that a specific party submits in their defense or to make their claim about a case. Usually, these statements are submitted at the early stages of a case mentioning and form a critical part of the case proceedings. Virtually all legal transcription companies have transcription services for pleadings as part of their key areas of specialty. <strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h3>Sworn Statements</h3>
<p>In the legal field, sworn statements refer to documents that provide factual details about a case. These documents are a creation of the statements made by the defendant or the plaintiff during a legal proceeding. For years, attorneys and other legal professionals have used transcripts to get sworn statements which are also one of the hardest to obtain. Let alone their costly nature.</p>

<h3>Depositions</h3>
<p>Conversely, depositions establish the witnesses’ account of the legal proceeding. Attorneys find this form of transcription quite helpful in getting the required facts to help them build their case. If such transcripts are done by a qualified transcriptionist, depositions become an essential part of legal proceedings and one of the most reliable sources of information that give valid arguments.</p>

<h3>Interrogations</h3>
<p>Interrogations are exactly what they sound like, recordings of witnesses or the respondents being probed to help with an ongoing case. Interrogations are more than just a way to monitor the suspect’s actions. They can provide vital information about the case. Thus, the constant need to work with qualified transcriptionists who can give clear, concise, and factual transcripts to support the probe.</p>

<h3>Phone Calls and Wiretaps</h3>
<p>Of course, monitoring and interrupting phone calls would be illegal on any day. But that’s not necessarily the case when legal proceedings are involved. Like interrogations, this form of transcription services focuses on monitoring speech patterns and other critical details that may facilitate an investigation. Transcription services that involve the use of phone calls and wiretaps usually command lucrative rates and are among the most coveted forms today.<strong> &nbsp;</strong></p>

<h3>Memorandums</h3>
<p>Memorandums refer to informal notes that may provide vital evidence relating to a legal proceeding. A memorandum proves the validity of an agreement and may also confirm if a contract between two parties exists. Memorandums allow for easy retrieval of crucial information which can help in making proper judgment relating to a court proceeding. The attorneys will require the services of legal transcriptionists to compile these documents.</p>

<h3>Dictations, conferences, and meetings</h3>
<p>Legal professionals are constantly working to beat deadlines, striving to get their facts right while also having to contend with the demands of a court proceeding. The last thing they would wish to do is engage in time-consuming meetings and conferences amid a challenging court proceeding. Thus, they rely on legal transcriptionists to not only capture dictated notes to be used in legal proceedings but also have the accurate transcripts ready for in-depth analysis. Conferences and meetings can be transcribed into text documents to give accurate information which can either make or break a legal proceeding.</p>

<h2>How Much Does a Legal Transcriptionist Make?</h2>
<p>Generally, legal transcriptionists are paid per audio hour transcribed, with the recent estimates stating that these professionals make anywhere between $20 to $45 per audio hour.</p>
<p>The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not give specific figures about the legal transcriptionist’s salary. However, similar professionals report earning an approximate salary of $20 000 to $60 000 per year. Of course, a lot of variables will determine the average income including the following;</p>
<ul><li>The specific company you choose to work for</li><li>Your speed</li><li>Skill level</li><li>Experience</li><li>The volume of task to be completed</li><li>The nature of the task</li></ul>
<p>This means that most of the recruiters will be willing to pay more to get the services of seasoned transcriptionists who can guarantee accurate results while meeting the scheduled deadlines. As a beginner, you may want to start by gaining valuable first-hand experience as you slowly climb the corporate ladder by adding more skills to your resume.</p>

<h2>How to Become a Legal Transcriptionist</h2>
<p>A high school diploma or its equivalent diploma, certificate, or an associate program is usually the accepted prerequisite for earning an entry-level job in legal transcription. Besides, many vocational schools, technical institutions, and community colleges also offer training programs that are aimed at expanding your skills to increase your employment options. You can complete such courses in less than 6 months or so and gain valuable experience to widen your career prospects.</p>
<p>Legal transcription career diplomas or certifications as they are commonly known, are also available through online platforms such as the<a href="https://www.courtreporteredu.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> CourtReporterEDU</a> and <a href="https://www.transcribeanywhere.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TranscribeAnywhere</a> if you are not fond of classroom learning. These courses focus on indispensable legal concepts to help you build and maintain a&nbsp; career as a legal transcriptionist.</p>
<p>Generally, they will emphasize effective communication and time management skills, jurisdictional laws, and basic legal terms. Other key areas they may address include court reporting theory, editing as part of transcription jobs, dictionary building, typing, and word processing to mention just a few.</p>
<p>Regarding the equipment requirements, students should be familiar with the software and tools listed below which will also form a critical part of their professional journeys as legal transcriptionists;</p>

<h3>Legal Transcriptionist Training</h3>
<p>Legal transcription is well-paying but hey, don’t get it twisted here. You can never jump into a new role overnight. Of course, you don’t have to attain a Bachelor’s degree to start a career in this field. But it’s always important to attempt the recommended courses before you assume a new role. Generally, candidates can either opt for face-to-face training through classroom learning or online training.</p>
<p>One of the best options for online learning is the <a href="https://www.transcribeanywhere.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TranscribeAnywhere</a> online course which is formally endorsed by the American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers (AAERT) and can be completed in less than 6 months. Another online program that AAERT recommends is offered by BlueLedge and its details can be found <a href="https://blueledge.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here.</a></p>
<p>On classroom learning, community colleges, vocational schools, and technical institutes are known to offer tons of career diplomas to help students gain valuable transcription skills and prepare them for future roles as legal transcriptionists. By opting for these courses, you can become a legal transcriptionist in 6 months or so, having satisfied the basic requirements.</p>
<p>However, some jobs will require the completion of 1-2-year programs before you can flex your creative muscles in the field. So, be sure to satisfy the qualification requirements before rushing to take on such roles. What’s more, if you are going to work in the insurance or corporate fields, you better start by understanding corporate procedures and policies. Conversely, individuals looking to work in law firms must have a good grasp of law procedures and legal documentation.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://blog.searchevaluator.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/TranscribeMe-Transcription-Page-Interface.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1904"/><figcaption>TranscribeMe's Transcription Page Interface (Workhub)</figcaption></figure>
<p>We interviewed Nathan Pikover, COO of TranscribeMe, who stated the following about its online crowd and jobs: "We place great value and respect on the workers, and strive to treat them ethically and provide as many resources and opportunities as possible. We also recruit directly from our crowd, and a significant portion of our internal employees originally started out as transcriptionists. This partnership we have with the workers coupled with our community management and training approach enables a better quality workforce that delivers the best quality output for our customers."</p>

<h2>How Much Does TranscribeMe Pay?</h2>
<p>At TranscribeMe, $15 per audio hour is the standard, base starting rate for work that involves clean verbatim transcription. $25 per audio hour is the second tier starting rate, which applies to work that involves transcription using a special style, more complex than the clean verbatim guide. The remote workers may need to be in a certain location, according to the client's requirements, to be able to access the exam for these "second-tier" jobs.</p>
<p>Within TranscribeMe, transcribers have a clear career path that they can follow, which allows them to move from the teams that access the base rates outlined above up to higher rates. The rates ultimately depend on the different teams and projects that the transcribers join. Examples of these teams and projects include <em>QA work</em> (transcription), <em>annotation</em>, <em>audio collection</em>, and <em>translation</em>.</p>
<p>For QA transcription work, the rates range from $22 to $48 per audio hour, which is currently the highest range at TranscribeMe. However, it does extend past this. "There have been projects that have paid up to $150 per audio hour for more complex work.", says Mr. Pikover.</p>

<h3>Payment Process</h3>
<p>Transcription pays per audio hour, translation pays per word, and other types of jobs pay per task (audio collection pays per audio hour, image/text annotation pays per image/text segment). </p>
<p>Payment is done through PayPal and there is a $20 initial threshold to collect payment.</p>

<h2>How to Apply</h2>
<p>To apply to work for TranscribeMe, candidates can go to its <a href="https://workhub.transcribeme.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Workhub</a> page and register on that platform. </p>
<p>Once you register, you will receive a welcome email that contains the information on how to select which exam to complete and how to get started. Once candidates feel ready, they can move forward with an entrance exam as outlined below, and upon passing that entrance exam they can get access to jobs.</p>

<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>Requirements are as such:</p>
<ul><li>Computer with internet access and working keyboard</li><li>Headphones</li><li>Foot pedal, cell phone, and microphones are suggested but not required. Cell phone and microphone might come in handy for audio collection tasks, and foot pedals can be used to help increase transcription efficiency</li><li>Experience is not required, however, it is an advantage. TranscribeMe provides tools for self-learning and training</li></ul>

<h2>TranscribeMe Exam</h2>
<p>The TranscribeMe entrance exams allow the company to test the candidate’s ability to transcribe, which involves listening to the audio and recording the text as well as following the set style guide. The exams also test the candidate's grasp of the language they wish to transcribe in and the basic grammar rules associated with it.</p>

<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>TranscribeMe currently offers an exam only for transcription projects. The exam consists of audio transcription tasks and questions regarding the style guide. A full exam instruction guide is provided to candidates, outlining what to expect during the test and where to find help. </p>
<p>The audio transcription tasks require the candidate to listen to the audio and record the text adhering to the style guide. The remaining questions come in the form of multi-choice or free text. A certain grading for each of these is required to pass. The candidate will receive a message at the end of the exam advising them as to whether they have passed it or if they need to attempt it again.</p>
<p>There are no maximum attempts to an exam but each test has restrictions in terms of how many times it can be attempted within a certain period. All transcription answers must be unique to that candidate and must not be shared with others.<br><br>When TranscribeMe has a project available that is outside of transcription, it will offer this opportunity to its crowd of transcribers first, all of whom have once completed the entrance exam. If the company finds that it needs to reach outside of its current crowd, it will offer candidates a way to be able to demonstrate their abilities. For example, for a call collection project, it will request an audio sample with the candidate's application.</p>

<h3>Style Guide &amp; Entrance Exam Instructions</h3>
<p>The style guidelines ensure continuity for TranscribeMe's clients and also help to streamline the task of the QAs, who are responsible for checking the transcribers’ work. </p>
<p>The <em>Style Guide</em> and <em>English Entrance Exam Instructions</em> are available <a href="https://transcribeme-resource-base.helpscoutdocs.com/article/354-eee-required-documents" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on this page</a> and on the exam framework so that candidates can access them before attempting the test. Once the candidates pass the exam, the guides are also available on the community platform. A summarized version of the document can be found on each file that the transcriber completes on the Workhub platform.</p>

<h3>How to prepare for the exam</h3>
<p>To prepare for the test, TranscribeMe recommends that candidates read the Exam Instructions Guide and the Style Guide relevant to the test they are attempting thoroughly before opening the exam. The exam is not timed, however, it is helpful to have read the supporting information before commencing.</p>
<p>According to Nathan Pikover, COO of TranscribeMe, "All of the information required to pass the exam is available in the guides. Transcription is a skill and it can take time to learn. If our candidates do not pass on the first go, we encourage them to reread the documents and try again when they feel ready."</p>
<p>You can also find preparation resources for the exam on TranscribeMe's official YouTube channel known as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLE8crxzI9na3kQjoHgy3Tw" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">TranscribeMe Community</a>.</p>
