Applying as a transcriber in Scribie  is an easy step. Here's how:

1.) Go to the site. Click SCRIBIE

SCRIBIE FREELANCE AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION

 2.) If you want to go directly to the application form, under Introduction click APPLY NOW but I suggest that before you proceed, read  the INTRODUCTION first to know more about being a transcriber in Scribie, the requirements, the transcription process and the payment process. 

  

3.)After you've understood the introduction, download ExpressScribe under TOOLS. This software is necessary for you to transcribe audio files. With this tool you can play, rewind, forward or slow down the audio file so you can easily transcribe audio files into text at your convenience.

Or you can download it here: http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/

If it doesn't work for you, scroll down to the bottom of the same page and download from the alternatives.

4.) Don't forget to read their TERMS and if you have more queries make sure to read their FAQ page.

5.) Finally go to APPLY and fill out the necessary information on the application form. You should have a VERIFIED Paypal account. Most application forms with un-verified paypal account are rejected since this is the only payment method that Scribie currently accepts.


If you receive an email that your application is rejected, just visit the link "Request for application deletion," found in the same email or check your application status and click "Request Delete" Button. Verify your paypal (if this is the cause of rejection) and re-apply again. 

6.) After submitting your application form online. Scribie will send you an email that will confirm your application was accepted. You will then be added to their waiting list for test invite. 


To check your APPLICATION STATUS for test invite, go to APPLY and Enter your Application Number in the textbox provided on the page.

7.)Once your invited, it will show in your application status and you will receive an e-mail for a test invite. 


You can then create your account in Scribie. Login and choose an audio file from the list of files. If you find it impossible to comprehend the rest of the audio, in the middle of transcribing, you can cancel the assignment and choose another file. Only the selected, transcribed and submitted file will be considered your test file.


If your first submission was rejected, don't worry and consider it a practice! You don't have to delete your account this time. Since your application had been accepted and you have been invited for a test,  you can re-take the test again or defer it and take it at a later time. Your test invite will never expire. You have the chance to re-take the test for at least 10 times.


Refer to their GUIDELINES and SAMPLE page for reference on how to transcribe an audio file.

Good Luck!
