Hi all...I'm a newbie and love reading all of your comments about Dict8. I'm finding there isn't much work available at the moment and wondered if anyone new of any other similar companies or those or employ people for VR transcription.

Hello, I'm afraid we don't have any vacancies at the moment for audio transcriptionists, but we post them on voicenotes.co.uk/online-transcription-jobs-uk when we do.

As I'm sure you are aware of, but conscious some people looking for freelance work aren't, the pay per audio minute may look good at the start, but you have to work out how long it takes you to transcribe then proofread the file to work our the 'true' hourly or daily rate. A 60 minute multi-voice audio file for instance, could take all day to transcribe, then proofread.
