Transcribe for the record.
Remote, independent-contractor roles for legal transcriptionists, scopists and proofreaders who care whether the page holds up when it is read back.
Flexible, remote work
Claim files when you have capacity. No minimum hours. Most files are due on US Eastern business days, so availability in those hours matters.
Legal-only workload
Depositions, court hearings, administrative hearings and evidentiary audio. No general dictation.
Paid per completed file
Clear rates, clear deadlines, prompt payment on delivery.
Roles
- Legal transcriptionist
- Produce the transcript from audio to the format order; full audio proof before you submit.
- Scopist
- Edit speech-recognition or steno drafts against the audio; build the speaker roster; verify names and terms.
- Proofreader / reviewer
- Second pass against the audio; redline in Track Changes; cover, index and certificate check.
The rate for each file is stated before you claim it. Rush files pay a premium.
How we hire
Apply below. If your experience fits, you will receive a short formatting and punctuation test and a timed 10-minute audio sample. We score accuracy, format compliance and research (whether you looked the names up). Successful applicants complete a structured orientation, then work supervised files with a full-audio review and a redline on every job until their error rate earns self-proofing status. Reviewers are promoted from that pool.
What you need
Microsoft Word; a foot pedal and good headphones; stable internet; an encrypted computer that only you use; a signed confidentiality agreement before your first file; availability on US Eastern business days. You may not use consumer AI tools or public transcription services on client audio, at any stage.
What good looks like
A full audio proof before you submit. (Indiscernible) with a timestamp, never a guess. Every name researched and the source noted. The format order followed to the line.
