FAQ
Our transcriptionists come from all walks of life. Some transcriptionists are generalists, while others have prior experience in specialized fields, such as law or medicine.
Regardless of background or level of experience, transcriptionists are more successful when they are able to:
- Listen carefully
- Type accurately (even if it means typing a bit more slowly)
- Pay careful attention to detail
- Do research when something is unclear
- Adhere to project guidelines

Ubiqus receives hundreds of hours of audio each week that need to be transcribed. You can take as much (or as little) work as you wish.
It depends on the client’s requirements. Some projects will need to be completed in a few days, while others will have a next-day or even same-day turnaround.
If you can only work certain days or times, or if you go on vacation, you can notify the transcription team. During those times, you will not be notified of new assignments.
