Can You Still Make Money Through Online Transcription?

[Nomad]

I have never done transcription myself but I know people who have done it, mostly through offline in agencies. A few years ago, online transcription was also very popular. Whether online or offline transcription was considered attractive job because there was decent pay, flexible work-from-home opportunity for online transcription jobs. But these jobs were also thought to be stressful and repetitive, and pay rate for online jobs were often lower than offline jobs. Do you think transcription jobs are still in demand? Have you tried looking for these jobs through freelancing platforms or TranscribeMe?

i used to work on transcription sites but i found the work to be too much but the pay being too little. Most times you can transcribe and not get paid for your work.

While AI-generated transcripts are becoming more common, they often require human verification and editing, creating a niche for skilled transcribers.
