Method 2 of 100 - Earn Money by Transcribing Audios
What is Transcription?
To say in simple
words, "Transcription is converting speech to text". The sources for
transcription includes but not limited to podcasts, videos, and webinars. You
need to listen to the audio and convert the speech into text.
How to Transcribe?
You can either do
the conversion manually or by using tools.
Manual Conversion: You need to open
the audio or video file, listen to the audio a sentence at a time and type the
text in a word document or any text file. The issue in doing the transcription
manually is that the audio runs faster than your typing speed. If you are an amateur,
you need to rewind and hear three to five times to type one big sentence.
Using Tools: You can also use
tools to convert audio to text. Very few tools are available in the market to
do this job, of which only a few with 50 - 60 % perfection. You need to review
the document again to correct all the mistakes. Sometimes, this will be a time
saving process and most of the time it will consume more time than required.
Here's a list of tools that you can use for this purpose. They either convert
audio files to text or listen to the audio through mic and convert them to
text.
1. Wav to Text
2. Google Voice
3. MacSpeech
Dictate
4. Dragon Naturally
Speaking

How much you are paid?
The amount that
these companies pay varies slightly. But, at the minimum they pay you around $1
for transcribing a 6 minute audio file. That is, you get $10 if you transcribe
a 1 hr audio file.
