Scribie is a fast growing online audio transcription service. We are on a high growth trajectory and looking to grow our QA team. If you are based in Bangalore, India and are proficient in English, then we may have the right job for you. We are hiring for the following positions.
- Proofreader/QA (Code: SC/PR/1)
- Transcriber/Reviewer (Code: SC/TR/1)
- Trainees (Code: SC/FR/1)
We look for following skills primarily.
Listening ability:
Good listening ability is a key skill that is required. The QA work involves listening to the audio file and correcting the mistakes in the transcript. We depend on only one sense for this; our hearing. If you watched Snatch and didn’t feel the need of subtitles, then you should definitely come in and take our skills test.
Comprehension:
Comprehension is another basic skill required. In our work, we have to interpret what is spoken and understand it so as to find that one sound-alike mistake, that one contextual mistake out of the thousands of words in the transcript. So if you got the plot of Snatch, and found it amazing, then you do have the chops for it.
Western Culture:
Exposure to western culture is an added plus. Our customers are mostly from the America, Australia and Europe. Therefore exposure to the culture, the way of speaking, terms and phrases used is helpful. Watching Star World, FX, Hollywood movies, and watching/reading BBC, English fiction, non-fiction etc., listening to hard rock/metal music would expose you to western culture.
How to Apply:
Please send your updated resume to jobs@scribie.com and mention the job code in the subject line. The first step will be a phone screening, followed by a face-to-face interview and skills test. During the skills test, you’ll be asked to transcribe and review a 6 minute file. It usually takes around 3 hours to complete.
Why Work at Scribie:
We offer great career growth opportunities, meritocratic system and a good working environment. We are looking for leaders for our growing organization and we reward good performance. We also provide a peaceful and stress-free working environment. The work itself is enriching due to the vast range of topics. There is something new to learn every day. And then, there’s the joy of finding delight in a perfectly done transcript.
Transcription is a hard job. It requires lot of manual effort and knowledge. Our mission is to make it as painless and rewarding as possible. So come, join in our journey and discover a new career.
I am interested in this job however the only way I can do face to face interview is through skype since I will be living in the US. Since I live in the US, I have a lot of exposure to wester culture and am used to many different accents ranging from European to Latin to American and also Asian.
