One of 5 ideas covered in this video
Turn audio and video into text for companies like Rev, GoTranscript, TranscribeMe, and Scribie, after passing a short typing/accuracy test; medical and legal transcription pays more but requires accuracy certifications.
Rev's average transcriber makes about $156/month working around 15 jobs, with top earners hitting $900-1,500/month; medical/legal transcription runs $25-40/hour. The video is explicit that pay is per audio-minute, not per hour worked, so real hourly pay depends heavily on your typing speed.
Someone with fast, accurate typing; the video recommends testing your own speed honestly before committing real time.
Named transcription platforms and their per-minute pay structure are real and accurately described, including the honest gap between advertised and real hourly rates depending on typing speed.
