Hear what eScribers Transcribers
have to say:

I've done transcribing for eScribers now for over two years. Everything from training to support to getting paid has been stellar. I've never had an issue with any of the many aspects of the job. They're easy to work with, they answer questions quickly, and they go out of their way to support their typists. There is never a lack of work for certified and uncertified transcriptionists, especially if you're willing to learn the different rules for the multiple jurisdictions they type for, and there are always ways to earn more via training or last-minute jobs that they need typed. I would definitely highly recommend them.

I absolutely love this place! They are very understanding and very patient throughout the training process, as there is a lot of information to be absorbed. I feel there is no lack of communication at all. The group is especially helpful, as you are able to ask questions, receive answers, etc. There are constant tips and tricks etc. sent on a daily basis. This is also very helpful!

Now ten months in, it turned to love..I cannot (yet) put a finger on it, except to say "something" pulled me in, drew me slowly into this community of excellence that inspires a newcomer to tighten his/her bootstraps and aim for the horizon.

Hear what eScribers Reporters
have to say:

I’ve worked for eScribers for several years now. I started as a transcriber, went to proofreading, and finally, became a reporter in the last year. For me, reporting has made life much more simple and better. For me, there are differences and ease of use issues from client to client. eScribers, by far, pays me better. The timing of pay is solid and I don’t have to wait for transcribers to finish their work for me to be paid for mine. There is help for anything you could ask for. Even if you have a piece of software that doesn’t belong to eScribers not working well, they have tech support that can help you. There is also a good web of connection with others doing the same work.

I am so very grateful that I stumbled across eScribers. I can't imagine doing anything else with my crazy-busy life. They make working remotely easy, every step of the way. I had nevereven considered working as a court reporter, but am so grateful that I made that leap. Despite trial and error on many levels, mostly on my part, I have found my niche and I love it. Thetechnology that they have makes things simple and their support has been beyond my wildest expectations. I am so blessed.

The work itself changes day to day for me. One day I might be doing small call-in type reporting where I have different judges each call, but a very very helpful platform to input all the information. The next day I might do a two hour hearing for a small hearing. And even the next day it might be a 10 hour day (with extra compensation for my time) that flows into a several day hearing. I love not doing the exact same thing every day, day in and day out. I love the community I have with eScribers from start to finish. I spend my day paying attention to my hearings with a side of Google Chat to get help or offer help as needed to my fellow reporters and transcribers.
