Go Transcript offers a work at home transcription job that does not require experience. Before you’re accepted you need to pass their test, so some experience will obviously help out.
If you can get accepted, it’s a flexible work at home job where you can pretty much work whenever you want.
Transcribing from home is a great way to make extra money, but it’s usually not a great option for a full-time income. If you’re looking for a full-time online income, check out My #1 Recommendation, it’s how I made over $13,000 online last month.

In this Go Transcript review I’ll cover the requirements, application, how it works, pay, and some feedback.
Go Transcript Requirements
You do not need transcription experience to apply at Go Transcript, but during the application, you’ll need to pass a test. They say that it’s not required, but they recommend a headset and foot pedal. Here’s the Foot Pedal they recommend.
As long as you have a PayPal account (to get paid) and want to transcribe you can apply!
Go Transcript Application
The whole application process is centered around the transcription test. They have a very detailed word document that shows you their exact guidelines for transcribing. I highly recommend reviewing it completely before taking the test. It also gives more details about the transcription job.
Once you’ve reviewed the guidelines, you can take the test using their free transcription tool. The audio file is around 5 minutes long and of decent quality. It’s not a hard file to transcribe, but you need to make sure you follow the guidelines.
Once you’re done, you can save the file, upload it on their website, and enter your email. It says that it could take up to 10 days to hear back. If you passed, they’d contact you with information about getting transcription work.
How Does Go Transcript Work?
If all goes well and you’re accepted, you can log on to Go Transcript and see all the work available. You can see the pay, type of file (audio/video), how long it is, and deadline.
If you’d like to work on the file, you can claim it. This is a flexible schedule job, you can work on your own time, but you need to meet all deadlines.
When you’re done transcribing, you’ll submit your file. A Go Transcript editor will review it before it’s sent to the customer.
If your file is approved, earnings are added to your account balance. Editors will rate your work; it’s important to get good scores to be able to keep working for the company.
They do say that if you keep a rating of 4.5 out of 5 you can apply to become an editor.
How Much Does Go Transcript Pay?
The rate per audio minute transcribed changes from project to project based on length, audio quality, and turn around time. From what I can see most projects pay $.30-$.60 per audio minute transcribed.
Again the pay is per audio minute transcribed not by minute you spend transcribing.
Go Transcript pays its transcribers weekly via PayPal on Friday. You have to invoice Go Transcript via PayPal to get paid.
Go Transcript Schedule
This is one of those log on and work at anytime opportunities. You can pick up work and complete it on your own time. All projects do have deadlines, as long as you meet them, you can work when you want.
From what I could find, there’s no minimum or maximum amount of time you must work.
Go Transcript Feedback
I honestly can’t find much information about transcribing at Go Transcript. But from what I found there’s not any negative feedback.
On their website, they say that the higher paying files pay $.60 per audio minute, which is a pretty low rate per minute. Unfortunately, most of the transcription sites that accept beginners have a low rate.
I have to say that it’s legitimate but know there’s not much feedback or complaints from current and past transcribers.
Is Go Transcript A Scam?
Go Transcript seems to be a legitimate site to transcribe. I like that they have weekly payments via PayPal, and you do not need any experience to apply and take the transcription test.
There’s not much feedback on the company, which usually means everyone is getting paid. If they were having issues paying members you’d be able to find terrible reviews all over the internet.
This is a flexible work at home job, but the pay is pretty low, just keep that in mind before applying. If you’d like to learn more or to take their test, visit GoTranscript.com to get started!

Transcription not for you? Here’s an extensive list of ways I make an Extra Income Online.
Extra income not your thing? Have you thought about starting your own blog? A profitable blog can be a much larger income than you think, My #1 Recommendation will even show you how for completely free!
Are you already transcribing at Go Transcript? Have feedback you’d like to share? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below! 🙂
Sorry but this company is AWFUL. As the above posted states, its $2.33 for 10 minutes audio, thats $0.23 a minute. Yet they claim to be paying $0.60 a minute? The audio quality is so bad and the thick Australian and South African accents are alsmost impossible to understand. Avoid this company.
This is a fake article about the company. The rates are falsified. The workers get paid $1.63 for a 5 minute file. Usually the file is so bad that it takes an hour to transcribe. So basically, we get $1.63 an hour! This is modern day slavery and this company needs to be reported to the relevant authorities.
I did the test and they said it will take up to 60 days to get the results, but if I share their website on Facebook, Twitter and the likes, it would take 30 days. So I shared, and I’m still waiting. 30 days is a long time to wait for results of a test after which you may fail or start to get that low wage. I don’t understand what they are doing with a 5 minute audio text for 30 whole days!
I currently work for them, and they do not scam. The payments are generated without fail 12 am on a Friday and after payment is requested, it only takes a few hours (give or take) to appear in my PayPal account. It’s tedious work for such little pay, but that’s because of the exchange rate from $ to £. Provided you memorize and reread and then memorize again the guidelines they set, then you are sure to pass their test, after passing stick to the guidelines like glue, and you won’t have any issues!
P.S. After a while, you can apply to become an editor and can earn as much as $200 p/w
Thank you for sharing your experiences Rebecca! Glad you haven’t had any issues.

Go transcripts…didn’t pay me for my work; almost $100.
You spend many hours and days meeting their deadlines and specs. Then they don’t pay you and give a whimsical reason.
I have no confidence in them at all. They are just scammers.
David,
Did you get any response from support?

I have been transcribing for GoTranscript.com for several weeks now. In the beginning I had a couple of low grades from editors but quickly caught where I was making my errors and since have had a 4.6-4.8 rating. I like that I can log in whenever I have a spare half hour in my schedule and do a couple files. Usually I can do 4-5, ten-minute files in an hour. The money goes into my PayPal account every week and I can transfer it to my debit card from there. It’s not something I do full time, but it’s great for those extra expenses that pop up from time to time. I do advise making sure you are thoroughly familiar with the guidelines for formatting because they will close your account if you drop below a 3.5 average rating. So far no problems. Hope the info helped somebody.
Thank you for sharing Cassie, always great to hear member experiences. Glad it’s worked out well for you so far!

Go Transcript closed my account with around seven dollars inside of it. I worked three transcriptions which got 4, 3 and 3 rating consecutively. I don’t even know why I was given 3 and after the third job, they just closed my account like that. No explanation.
I think Go Transcript is a scam. I’ve heard many people complaining about closed accounts with money inside of it.
I started transcribing for gotranscript.com and most of the files are 10 minutes long and pay $2.33 per 10 mins of audio. How can this be good that would work out 23p per min of audio recording. Ten minutes took three full A4 pages. How can that just amount to £2.33. Not even minimum wage!
