Pros

Flexible schedule & work from home.

Cons

Cannot reject assigned transcription jobs that are. HORRIBLE, not understandable, etc. The pay is a joke...it doesn't matter if you work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week...and you have 30 years experience in a Legal Assistant role...you will be LUCKY if you earn $1,000 a month, which equates to HALF of minimum wage in Kansas...$7.35....so whomever is leaving reviews that they make $47K a year...it simply IS NOT POSSIBLE. ZERO BENEFITS, ZERO BONUSES, NEVER A KIND WORD FOR YOUR HARD WORK! I SUGGEST THAT GLASSDOOR DOES THEIR RESEARCH INTO SPEAKWRITE TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH +++ what their CLIENTS ARE PAYING THEM FOR 24/7 LEGAL TRANSCRIPTION WORK??! You'll BE shocked. You'll also learn that the $0.005/per word is the maximum & I type 100 WPM ([I learned on an electric typewriter @ 110WPM]. GLASSDOOR, PLEASE CHECK INTO THE FARSE OF $47K yearly, that you get benefits, bonuses, & You'll kill yourself to do a good job thinking you can earn a decent wage. I'm here to tell you...YOU CAN'T.

Pros

convenient hours - work when you can

Cons

The proofreaders and pay. You have to type things perfectly for little pay and if you get a proofreader who is super finicky you get warnings against hit. High anxiety environment for horrific pay
