Rev.com
Pros: Great transcription interface, no foot pedal or special software needed, steady supply of files from 10 minutes to over an hour long
Cons: Only 12% of applicants approved, graders expect more than 99% accuracy on even poor audio quality files, application process stretches over several days.
What we liked: Rev pays between $0.45 and $0.65 an audio minute on average, which we have found to be above the average across most transcription sites we have experience with. Their user interface for transcribing is clean and easy to use. Just beware that the time it says you have remaining can differ from the time you actually have. So check your Projects page for the correct time. Rev pays weekly on Mondays to PayPal and has no minimum payout amount required.
What we hated: We've had several people on the Hustle Mob team suddenly and somewhat unreasonably lose their accounts on Rev for accuracy issues. Grading is up to the discretion of the graders, and grade disputes were often reviewed by the same person who graded us. Rev does not grade on a per word accuracy percentage, and therefore, grades are somewhat unpredictable, and if the audio quality is poor, they can be downright unreasonable. The site leads you to believe you can become a grader after 1500 audio minutes transcribed, but becoming a grader is by invite only. After several months transcribing on Rev, none of the Hustle Mob has received an invitation to grade.
Hustle Mob's Opinion: If you are an accurate transcriber, Rev could easily be one of your main go-to's for side income. You may be able to make around $300 to $400 a week on the site, working full-time with speech to text software, and if you have an accurate profile and you double-check your work. If you lack the technology to do that, you can still make around $5 an hour typing at a steady 60 wpm.
