  • Foot Pedal: (Optional but recommended) A USB foot pedal to control audio playback while typing.


Work Details:

  • Shift: Flexible / Freelance. You choose the files you want to work on and set your own hours.

  • Location: 100% Remote (Global).

  • Compensation: Usually paid per Audio Minute or Audio Hour. High earners are typically those who can type quickly and accurately.
