I wouldn't be able to work all day 9-5 just doing transcription, as it's quite intensive. If you purely do transcription, I could see the job becoming very tedious. The minimum requirement is 60wpm, but honestly from experience I think that would take your hourly wage down to about £6-7. If your typing speed is below 75wpm, I would say you might not enjoy the role as you might struggle to make a decent wage from it. I make a lot more than my peers at university who have other part time jobs. However, I am able to reply most of the time within a 10 minutes and get about 13-15 hours whilst working around my university schedule, so it's enough for me.

It's easy to "win" hours if you are fast with the emails, but if you are busy during the day and can't always get to your emails this will be a problem. They email about once every couple of days with about 10-15 hours available. It's unclear how many other people you're up against, but if you reply to an email within 10-20 minutes, you will usually be given some of the hours offered. You compete for hours against other people, essentially. They do tell you at interview that this is possible, but I haven't found that to be the case.
#Takenote review full
With the note taking, you aren't able to work full time I'd say. This job is extremely low-pressure and would be good for someone with social anxiety. All communication is also done through email. I told the truth and they were very understanding. For example, I misread my timetable once and ended up not going to work. They have staff on hand most of the time to help with questions or issues. I haven't experienced any problems at all, they are extremely polite and considerate. You can take time off whenever you want with no notice and you don't have to work a minimum amount of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. With my typing speed, I make about £12 an hour from transcription. What problems is Take Note solving and how is that benefiting you 'Take Note' provides one of the best interfaces for keeping important notes securely and adequately. The portal updates each time you complete a job so you can see your monthly earnings go up in real time, which makes it sort of motivating. "Take 2 shifts at the weekend and earn a £30 bonus", which honestly makes it feel like a challenge. With transcription, they often send out bonus opportunities, e.g. With note taking, it feels good when you "win" a job and complete it. As a result of this, I'm paying my entire tuition fees through this role. Their live note taking role (this is different to transcription) pays extremely well (£19.80 flat rate per actual hour) and I'm able to work part time as a student.

**I feel I should preface this review by saying that my typing speed is around 110wpm** I love working here.
