Hi! I am looking for a freelance transcriber who could work with me on an ongoing basis. I am targeting less experienced individuals with excellent English, but who are perhaps struggling to get their first work here or get their first glowing review! So please don't apply if you are a top seller and give the newbies a chance - we all have to start somewhere! I would prefer candidates from developing countries, and I am working on CAT time, so African countries or people in a similar timezone, or people who prefer to work in the evening would probably suit the role better than someone based in the US for example. This project consists of a 30 minute audio file which I would use as an ability test, but which I will compensate the successful applicant for regardless of whether I take them on long term.

Hi, You had me smiling at the point where you said you don't want pros. Thank you for appreciating African talent. I'm an African - Kenyan, so I am native English, with good typing speed and accuracy. I have practiced on a few audios for personal work so nothing official yet. This one project that I did, the guy cut the project short. So i never even got paid regardless of the fact that i successfully transcribed his 23 minutes. I am detail oriented, careful to follow instructions and submit quality work. I'm pro-active to do research when necessary for accurate terminology and name-spellings. The one review i have is for typing work that i did. Manually typing 1,300 A5 handwritten notes to Ms-Word and i would like another review for transcription. I am in the process of exiting my 8 to 5 job and make freelancing my new job, and getting reliable clients is a big plus for me. Expect constant feedback on progress of project before final submission. Thanks.
