Transcribing is not a get-rich-quick scheme, but it is a great way to make extra money from the comfort of home. When just starting out, you can expect to make somewhere between $10 and $20 per hour using the platforms on this list. However, many platforms offer opportunities to gain access to higher-paying jobs and extra income as you gain experience – it is not unusual for skilled transcriptionists to make $30 per hour or more with a little experience.
