Pros

You can type straight into the browser.

Cons

The entrance exam is easy, but if you want to progress and earn something resembling a wage, you have to take other exams that will drive you to drink. There is not a lot of work and what there is can be very difficult to understand.

Pros

You can work from anywhere.

Cons

Jobs aren’t always available and the incredibly low pay makes it not worth the effort.

I'm sorry that you feel that it's not worth the effort. Did you try to join the special teams, like First Draft, QuickStep, and TME Special Styles? The general pool usually works as an introductory level, so that workers can become familiar with the style guide and TranscribeMe's workflows in general. As such, the pay is less than the pay for other teams and projects. However, the idea is for transcribers not to stay in the general pool, but to advance and have access to different file types and pay rates. Many people who are on higher level teams feel that it's worth the effort to move up and continue working. As for jobs not always being available, TranscribeMe depends on its clients to send work in, so how much work is available at a time is not entirely in our hands. Again, there is normally a greater amount of available work if you move past the general pool.
