Experienced transcriptionists wanted (UK-based, freelance)
Transcription City is taking on additional freelance transcriptionists. This is skilled, deadline-driven work for people who already do it well.
The work
Legal, medical and general/business transcription. Around 5–10 hours a week to start, with more available to typists who prove consistently accurate and on time. Fully remote, self-employed, paid per audio minute. You choose which jobs you accept and you're free to work for other clients.
Who we're looking for:
At least two years' paid transcription experience, not audio typing or general admin
Genuinely accurate English; spelling, grammar and punctuation, without relying on software to fix it
Comfortable with poor audio, multiple speakers, accents and technical or clinical terminology
Able to follow a house style guide precisely and hit agreed deadlines every time
Your own computer, headphones, transcription software and reliable internet
Please don't apply if...
You're new to transcription and looking to learn, you need guaranteed hours or a fixed salary, or you're looking for light work to fit around other commitments. This is demanding work with real deadlines and client-facing quality standards, and the volume goes to the people who deliver.
How to apply
Email: [email protected]
with:
A short summary of your transcription experience — how long, what subject areas, and for whom
The software you use and your typing speed
Your rate per audio minute
How many hours a week you can realistically commit to
Shortlisted applicants complete a short unpaid transcription test and sign a confidentiality undertaking before any client work is offered. We reply to everyone who follows the steps above; applications without the four points won't be read.
