I got laid off as a medical transcriptionist (union university job with good pay and benefits). While unemployed, I tried doing some freelance transcription, but the pay structure was too demoralizing. You’re paid a pitiful amount for your time and effort, and the approach of these companies is incredibly micromanaging and punitive. Many other companies that used to employ transcriptionists have laid them off, and it’s a shrinking profession according to the bureau of labor statistics. I have used my experience to gain a job in a similar field, also a governmental clerical position. It is too bad because skilled transcriptionists can do good work, while automated transcribing programs may be prone to a lot of errors. It was really tough being laid off, but in a way I am glad not to have to listen to listen to people’s voices right in my ears anymore. Some of them were annoying, and I have misophonia!
Thanks for this video, I was considering trying these websites a few days ago and decided it was not worth my time. Now i see this video and im glad I didn't spend hours on that.
We had the same transcription company for our medical office for almost ten years and then all of a sudden, the work was coming back horrible and taking much longer, and nobody would respond to our issues so we switched to another company recently,. Well they get the work back quickly but multiple mistakes and it's like they dont even know medical terminology! It's very frustrating as I feel some of the people they are giving our work to are not qualified. Some of the simple medical words are butchered, and my doctor speaks very clear... I am going to try to watch your video on how to possibly do it myself due to these issues. I am also not alone in my surrounding area.
Hello! Although I am not from a company but I am a student who really wants a transcription job! I find it really fun and interesting and I assure you I will complete my tasks in the required time. You can test my skills!
I’m so glad to have found your channel after doing my AI research. I’ve been wanting to become a transcription but with AI things have changed. I’ve read medical transcription is a dying field. Your video was very informative and helpful!
Jennifer Marie, yours is one of the less than a handful of channels about online work that I deem to be honest. I got some private client work last week from someone I used to do a considerable amount of work for pre-pandemic but now it's sporadic. Although I'm experienced at transcription I think I need to practise a bit because I broke my wrist last year and think my speed may have decreased. Off topic, would you ever do a video about SEO optimisation (if you've already done one I'm missing it somehow)?
Yeah, thanks to AI, jobs have been very few at Scribie, and it made major changes to their processes since last year. Scribie typically follows a four-step process: transcription, review, proofreading, and quality check. I was one of those fortunate ones who managed to get accepted two years ago and crawled their way up to QC level, so I still get something to work on every day. I don't know what's going to happen to us in the future as AI becomes more advanced.
300 million jobs are estimated to be lost to AI according to recent research by Goldman Sachs, over 11 Million in the United States alone. This is why it will be so important for Universal Basic Income to be introduced. Tax the big corporations making billions accordingly and use the Taxes to pay UBI.
Ive been transcribing since 2018. AI has definitely affected the industry. I think the only saving grace that I have for the moment is that most of the work I do is bilingual or French (Im from Canada, with contracts for government ministries that requires transcription to be bilingual), but as AI improves and can handle switches from French to English and back multiple times in a speech, then i suspect the field is definitely on its way out, sadly.
Thanks so much for sharing your insights and experience with us! The only hope is that there will be a greater demand for transcript editors or AI editors/editing AI-generated transcription.
@@JenniferMarieVO you're welcome! With the speech to text tools that are available to us now, I do a lot more editing than actual typing these days, other than to insert the French. I just noticed that I had a typo, and I had to edit it even though I know it made me lose your like lol. Can't do typos!
Back in my college days, there were a lot of transcription jobs on Upwork. Until almost none would appear, if there is, 20-50 applicants would apply to a single file.
There's work at Rev, but if that's the best transcription job, we are all screwed. I work for Rev and if I had to survive on what I make I'd be living in a shack.
to be honest I'm surprised some companies are using AI since the best AI-generated transcripts I've seen lack any kind of formatting and can't seem to decide on a single spelling for names.
Ey yo, idk where this gal come from, but she the TRUTH, the realest human being ever, she deserves a SUPERTHANKS, i ma watch her videos til the pearl gates open up for me., for real, put nothing above that!
@@JenniferMarieVO 😊 I’m just telling the truth! To be honest with you, I really want to find a part time online job. Do you have any videos talking about this issue? Or, maybe, any suggestions? Many thanks!
oh, man, Rev does not hire Brazilians as well... dayum. I was counting on this one... Nowadays are extremely difficult to succeed in a sign up to transcription platforms... the golden years for this remote type of job was 2020 ~ 2022. Now is practicaly impossible, mostly for south americans...
I have PayPal account and I have registered it from Dubai phone number , the point is I neither can link a local card which is from Uzbekistan , neither local bank which I was aware , so could you tell me the solution?
This is what I found on the forum: "Paypal is country specific so if you move country you have to open another paypal account in that country and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country."
Hey. I have been trying to reduce the length of the subtitles as the characters generated by whisper can be overwhelming, ranging between 12 - 18 words in a single caption. I am using google colab and so far there's no success. Here are the commands i have used: !whisper "FILE NAME" --model medium --word_timestamps True --max_line_width 40 !whisper "FILE NAME" --model medium --word_timestamps True --max_words_per_line 5 It works completely fine with the following command but with large number of words !whisper "FILE NAME" --model medium Could you please help.
Udemy has online courses for under 20 bucks if you watch For the sales. 3 courses for under 50. All sorts of files to transcribe. 1 course can get you 25 files and the instructor gives great detail on your start up needs
No, it has not. What really dealt a death blow to the money you could make was offshoring jobs. I work for a transcription company and edit AI-generated transcripts. It doesn't pay diddly, and $100 an hour is B.S.
I agree. It's shocking the amount of videos out there that are saying you can make thousands and thousands of dollars a month transcribing. It's completely and utterly false.
Hi, i'm 16 years old,i want to try this,i Need to improve My English skills because i think that i am A2-B1 level,i Need a B2 -c1 level,i Guess,i don't know,but i study on My own,i really Want to do this,to make money ::(
It's exhausting and requires perfectionist and fast typing WPM, Rev will even ban you for a tiny mistake or out of nowhere for no reasons. Better get something else
