for a couple years i've been picking up transcription gigs on this platform called rev (dot com). i've transcribed over 64,000 minutes across 1,700+ jobs. i enjoy these gigs, and i like to think i've gotten pretty decent at it.

rev advertises itself as being one of the cheapest transcription services around. a flat rate of $1 per audio minute! you: 🤔 but in order to be profitable, they must pay transcriptionists less than that. yes that is correct!!!
