The Testimonials of Our Happy Customers

“GMR has been used in our clinical research department for the past couple of years for various reasons. For several studies, we record interviews of healthcare professionals and focus groups of participants to gain insight and feedback that is used for our research. The recordings usually consist of multiple speakers and GMR does a fantastic job transcribing the content. The transcriptions are received in 3-5 business days, if not earlier. Additionally, the staff at GMR is very responsive and thorough. We rely on GMR’s expertise to further our research in human genetics. I highly recommend GMR and their services for all of your transcription needs.”

“We are happy to continue to use GMR for all of our transcription services for our qualitative studies. This allows us to get an outside service that reduces bias and it reduces our time commitment by providing accurate transcripts for our studies. We can invest the time saved on conducting the study and the enormous amount of time needed for analyses. We also are so grateful for the swift turn around that we receive and the ability to make special demands for the studies we design. Partnering with GMR is a win-win for all we do.”

“I am a researcher in Psychology and we used GMR to help us transcribe audio recordings of caregiver-child interactions in natural and everyday settings by Spanish- and English-speaking families. GMR was very attentive and responsive, providing us with accurate transcriptions of sometimes very messy situations. They were also very accommodating to our requests for special formatting and spelling requirements. They were extremely prompt and stayed true to their turnaround time. We spoke with a few other services and none were as willing to help us with the requirements that we needed. Having GMR complete the initial transcription greatly facilitated our ability to work with the data.”

– Janet Bang, Postdoctoral Fellow

Stanford University

Customer Experience was Outstanding

“Very thorough transcripts, excellent translation work. If there was a category beyond excellent, I would have picked it to describe my experiences with GMR. The customer experience was outstanding, especially since this was my first time using this service. They were very patient and experienced in handling all of the requirements. The transcriptions and translations are very high quality and the turn-around time was even faster than what they predicted. Their work saved me hundreds of hours! And the price is very competitive. I’m so glad I found them! I definitely plan on contracting with them again for other transcription and translation work in the future. Highly recommend.”

Marie S., University of Wisconsin

Legal Transcription

“I’ve been a paralegal for the law firm where I work since its founding in 1990. I’ve found that GMR Transcription provides the most accurate and timely transcription services of any company in the business. Their staff is helpful and professional, and their website for uploading files is very user friendly. We do criminal defense and personal injury law, and there have been many times when we needed transcription done yesterday. GMR has never failed us. GMR will continue to be our choice for all our transcription needs.”

Academic Transcription

“Great job in figuring out who said what in a conversation that involved many different participants. Good accuracy on the technical parts of the conversation, which I know is not easy if you are not in the business.”

– Lara B

Academic Transcription

“As a PhD student working on my dissertation I had concerns regarding the cost and timeliness of transcription services. GMR put my fears to rest. Initially I offered my transcription work to a friend and offered to pay the industry “going rate”. She did similar work for years, however she returned three weeks later incomplete. She found PhD transcription to be considerably different from what she was familiar with and in the end had to bow out. Fearing the worst, I turned to a “faceless” corporation, only to be thoroughly impressed with the cost and speed of GMR’s work. GMR charged less than the average going rate, and got the entire project done in three days (I asked them to transcribe six interviews which lasted about 1 hour 30 minutes each). I can now move on to the next stage of my work and I can thank GMR for putting me that much closer to graduation. I will continue to use and recommend GMR as long as I am in the field of education. Trust them. You will not be disappointed.”

– R. Bailey

“I used GMR when I was working on my dissertation a few years ago. The service was so excellent that I knew I wanted GMR to do my transcription for this study as well. I have since recommended GMR to other research faculty at our university as well as students. Thanks for the great service!”

– Katherine Sender, University of Pennsylvania

– J.W. Stanford University

First And Last Impression For GMRT

“GMR transcription was a wonderful company to work with. With a small research budget, but not a lot of time, I needed someone who could transcribe quickly and inexpensively. Many of the companies recommended to me did not meet one (or both) of those criteria. GMR was the perfect fit. I received my transcripts ahead of when they were promised and the transcription was incredibly accurate. Joyce Warran was absolutely wonderful to work with. Their services are not only professional, but they are very willing offer advice to and work with individuals, like myself, who had never needed transcription services before. I can, and do, recommend GMR 100%.”

– K.D. University of Utah

Fantastic Services

“I appreciate the fantastic service I received. I will definitely refer people to your service when I can.”

– Brian K.

18 Interview Transcription

“THANK YOU!! I literally had 8 weeks to write my qualitative dissertation and had to have 18 interviews transcribed at different intervals. Your service was top notch and turn around time was great! You all were great, uploading was easy and fast. I WILL recommend you all to my colleagues in the doctoral program at CSULB. Thank you for making a challenging process, easier. “

– A. Salas

Affordable Transcription Services

“I compared GMR’s translation to work done by another company charging less per word and found GMR’s to be far superior. The other company didn’t even translate numbers in the docs (2009, 70%, etc). I thought this was standard until I looked at GMR’s translation. Your company saved me a lot time in editing, so I really want to give you this next project. “

Accurate Academic Transcription

“I am very happy with GMR Transcription. I shopped around and found that they had the best prices and they had prompt customer service. I spoke to them a couple of times before choosing their company and they were able to answer my questions right away. The transcriptions I had done were accurate, were completed on time, and were completed on budget. Uploading was easy and I could check the progress. This saved me a lot of time and money on my dissertation research project. I had Spanish to Spanish transcriptions done for both individual interviews and for group meetings. Some of the recordings were of poor quality and some speakers used a regional dialect, yet GMR’s accuracy was great. I am going to use GMR Transcription for some English to English transcriptions I will be doing in the future. “

GMR Transcription Job Review – Scam or Legit Work-at-Home Gig?

Welcome and thanks for stopping by to read my GMR Transcription Job Review.

You’d rather the freedom and flexibility of working from home over the stress and anxiety of job you don’t like. You’re not alone, and transcription jobs are becoming more popular because of it.

Is GMR Transcription legit though?

If you’ve been looking for ways to make money online, you’ve likely run into your fair share of scams. If not, it’s only a matter of time.

Online transcription jobs are unique though. GMR Transcription, like most transcription companies, rarely, if ever, make bold promises of getting rich or retiring early. That doesn’t mean they don’t stretch the truth a little though.

In this review I’ll explain who GMR Transcription is, how they work and what they can do for you. I’ll also go over whether they’re a scam or if GMR Transcription is a legit job you can do from home.

Here are the specific topics I’m going to cover:

• What is GMR Transcription?
• Is GMR Transcription a Scam?
• How Does GMR Transcription Work?
• GMR Transcription Test
• GMR Transcription Jobs
• GMR Transcription Pay
• Reviews and Complaints
• What I Like About GMR Transcription
• What I Don’t Like About It
• Where Do You Go From Here?

What Is GMR Transcription?

GMR Transcription was founded by Ajay Prasad in 2004. His mission has been, and still is, to provide high quality human transcription services to clients which include non-profit organizations, government institutions, universities and legal agencies among others…

In addition to using human transcriptionists (rather than algorithms and artificial intelligence), GMR’s president Beth Worthy has doubled sales in a competitive industry by improving efficiencies and focusing on client experience.

What does that mean for you?

Great question. GMR’s transcription services are only as good as their transcriptionists, and without you, they can’t provide the service their clients expect, and they can’t grow their company.

GMR Transcription Services is headquartered in Tustin, California, with satellite offices in…

• New York
• Atlanta
• Pennsylvania
• Chicago
• Dallas
• Miami
• Boston
• Houston
• Los Angeles
• San Diego
• Seattle
• San Francisco
• D.C.

As an independent contractor, they provide you with a way to start (or grow) your freelancing career. They hire both transcriptionists and translators.

Is GMR Transcription a Scam?

GMR Transcription is not a scam. It’s a legit company founded in 2004 by Ajay Prasad and provides transcription services in many industries that include writers, schools, government agencies and non-profit organizations. They hire US and Canadian-based transcriptionists who understand the terminology and industries they serve.

Now, whether they’re an excellent company to work for is a different question. There are flat-out scams online, as I’m sure you’re aware, and then there are others that “bend” reality just enough to make you question if they’re legit.

I can tell you there are some not-so-great transcription companies that do that, stretch the truth a little… but GMR is not one of them. I’ll get into more details below, but overall, GMR Transcription is one of the better ones.

Many have enjoyed a GMR Transcription career.

How Does GMR Transcription Work?

You probably know what a transcriptionist does, but if you’re a new freelancer recently introduced to the industry, your job is to convert digital audio and/or video files into text format.

It sounds simple enough, but transcription is a real skill. You are often dealing with poor audio quality, accents that may be difficult to understand, and multiple people talking over one another.

And to add to that pressure, transcription work usually pays by the audio-minute, which means you need to be fast and accurate to earn a decent living at it.

If you’re up for the challenge or you’re an experienced transcriber already, let’s begin with GMR’s requirements.

GMR Transcription Requirements

New transcribers are welcome, but applicants still have to meet certain criteria:

1. You must based in the US or Canada. GMR is looking for Native-English speaking transcribers.

2. Since you’ll be working from home, GMR Transcription requires you to have your own equipment, which includes:

• Computer with updated anti-virus software to keep your files safe.
• Internet with reliable speed and connection.
• MS Office. You’ll be asked to submit your work using .doc files.
• Foot pedal (optional) – This allows you to pause, fast-foward and rewind audio recordings while keeping your hands free for typing.
• High Quality Headphones – It’s possible to transcribe audio using your computer’s built-in speaker, but a set of high-quality headphones (preferably over-the-ear) will allow you to be more efficient and accurate.

3. You must pass GMR’s transcription test (I’ll talk about this in more detail in the following section).

4. You must pass their probationary period.

Note: There are no testing or registration fees.

Another requirement, although not listed under their official criteria, is that you must work on at least 4 hours of audio every month.

GMR Transcription Test

GMR’s transcription test is an important part of your job application. They promise their clients 99% accuracy, which means they’re looking to hire the best transcriptionists in the industry.

Hopefully that includes you.

Once you apply to GMR, they will email you a short audio file (in zip format). If you’re not sure how to open and extract a zip file, this tutorial will help.

This file includes formatting instructions, guidelines, and a sample transcript. They are VERY STRICT, and I recommend reading everything thoroughly before you begin the test.

According to some transcriptionists, GMR will purposely give you an audio file with poor quality which helps them identify highly qualified applicants. In fact, some parts of the audio test file may be nearly impossible to decipher.

If you pass, your status will be probationary status and you’ll be asked to transcribe up to two hours of audio. This is really a continuation of GMR’s transcription test for those who qualify, and you won’t be paid for this.

GMR Transcription’s probationary period is a problem for some. Two hours of audio is not the same as two hours of transcription.

If you’re a beginner, it can take you up to 8 hours to transcribe a two-hour audio recording. And you won’t be paid for that. So if you’re not willing to work for free for more than a few hours, GMR Transcription might not be the best fit for you.

I know this will be controversial, but their probationary period has a valid purpose. They need to know if you’re up to the job. Can you transcribe to their standard?

Transcription is not easy. It’s time consuming and can be tedious. And your work will still need to go through a thorough review from their editors before it can be sent to the client.

If you’re finding it tough to qualify, or having second thoughts about transcription, you’re not alone. I’m not particularly fond of it myself, lol.

That doesn’t mean it’s not a good job, it’s just not what I enjoy.

You can also make a little money survey sites like Survey Junkie and Inbox Dollars. Of course, online surveys don’t pay anywhere close to what transcription jobs pay, so I’m not suggesting they’re an alternative, just a simple way to make a few extra bucks in your spare time is all.

If you’re certain a full-time income is what you want, an online business may be what you’re looking for.

You may be at home with children to look after or have health difficulties that make your regular job a challenge.

If that’s the case and a full-time income online is what you want, knowing how and where to get started is what you need in order to get what you want.

GMR Transcription Jobs

According to GMR Transcription, they always have openings for their General Transcription positions. When you work for them, you can expect topics such as academics and business. Audio files may contain materials from forums, meetings, academic recordings, and so on…

They do not hire general transcriptionists for the medical and legal fields.

Job assignments will include details such as pay rates, length of audio, quality of audio and deadlines if applicable.

GMR Transcription Application

You can find GMR’s job application here.

Source: GMR Transcription

Once completed, submit your resume along with your application. You will then receive an email which includes the GMR Transcription test (discussed in previous sections).

According to their website, it may take up to two weeks for them to get back to you—and they will email you again if they choose to offer you a contract.

Unfortunately, if you don’t hear from them, it most likely means you didn’t pass their test.

GMR Transcription Pay

According to their site, Transcriptionists can earn anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 per month. Your earnings will depend on your skills, how fast you accomplish assignments, and the tasks you work on.

In general, difficult assignments (those with bad audio, for example) offer a higher rate. Tasks that require a quick turnaround also qualify for a higher pay rate.

GMR Transcription’s compensation varies by assignment, so I’m not able to provide you with a definitive amount you can expect to earn each month.

Your rate will depend factors that include the quality of the audio file, number of speakers, and the turnaround expectations.

In addition, you are not paid by the hour or even minute. You are paid per-audio-minute, which means experienced transcriptionists will transcribe longer audio files faster than new transcriptionists (giving them a higher per-hour rate).

You can expect anywhere from $0.70 to $1.25 per audio minute.

So, if you transcribe an assignment with a 2 week deadline that has clear audio and a single speaker, the pay rate will be on the lower end; around $0.70 per-audio-minute.

For an assignment with excellent quality audio, two speakers, and a turnaround time of a few days, you may earn around $0.90 per-audio-minute.

However, assignments with poor audio quality, more than two speakers, and a quick deadline will pay closer to $1.25 per-audio-minute.

And you can expect the higher paying assignments to go to their more experienced transcribers for obvious reasons.

Based on GMR Transcription’s pay rates, some report earnings in the $20 per-hour range or more. Of course, as a beginner it will be difficult to achieve that per-hour pay rate.

GMR Transcription Reviews and Complaints

Most GMR Transcription reviews are positive…

GMR Transcription Reviews on Glassdoor

GMR Transcription has an overall rating of 4.2 out of 5 (based on 17 reviews) on Glassdoor.

Here are some of the positive reviews found on the site:

• Wonderful company.
• Fantastic work from home opportunity because of the flexibility.
• Their people are responsive and will provide you feedback on your work (to help you improve on your job).
• Great way to earn extra cash.
• They base compensation on how much you work.

Like most companies though, not all reviews are good. The negative reviewers had a couple complaints:

• Low pay.
• Their people don’t reply to questions.

GMR Transcription Reviews on Indeed

GMR Transcription has an overall rating of 4.3 out of 5 (from 4 reviewers) on Indeed, which is also good. Again, the reviews were a combination of pros and cons…

Pros:

• Flexibility of working from home.
• On-time payments.

Cons:

• Work opportunities are inconsistent.
• Temporary jobs.

Overall, I’m surprised by the overwhelmingly positive reviews I found for GMR Transcription. Other transcription companies I’ve reviewed in the past usually have ratings much lower.

With GMR Transcription, there were only a few negative complaints. Regarding low pay, it’s possible the transcriptionist had only accepted the easier (and therefore lower paying) assignments.

It’s also possible they’re judging their pay on a per-hour basis, which is fine… but varies greatly depending on experience and skill.

What I Like About GMR Transcription

• Lots of positive reviews.
• Fair pay.
• Decent number of jobs.
• Good working environment.

What I Don’t Like

Where Do You Go From Here?

If you’re looking for a legit work at home transcription company, GMR Transcription is a good choice. With all the positive reviews, they are worth checking out in my opinion.

I recommend preparing and even practicing before taking their test. You can do this by simply listening to audio files and videos and transcribing the audio into a document.

You should also test and practice your typing skills. Successful transcriptionists can consistently type 75 words/minute or more with 90+ percent accuracy.

Transcription isn’t for everyone though. If you’ve applied to GMR Transcription and haven’t heard back (or you’ve decided transcription work isn’t for you), there are other ways to earn an income from home.

You might be a student in school or a single parent at home. You may have a medical issue that makes regular work difficult or maybe you’re just tired of working for someone else…

If that’s the case, an online business may be what you want. 

With all the scams and schemes out there though, knowing how and where to get started the right way is what you need in order to get what you want. 

Now, I’m going to give you a free step by step beginner’s guide to making money online and you can get it by Clicking Here

If you’re just looking for a simple way to make some extra spending money, legit online survey and get-paid-to sites are a good way to get started.

GMR Transcription review | TechRadar

TechRadar Verdict

High-quality service with low costs per minute. But those costs can grow if the recording quality isn’t good or one of the people speaking has a strong accent.

TODAY’S BEST DEALS

Before we dive into GMR Transcription, we need to clearly outline what it is we’re evaluating.

Our series on transcription services apps will evaluate the features, pricing options, competition, and overall value of using each service.

However, these are not hands-on reviews since evaluating a service based on its one-time performance can’t ever be objective. As this is a human-based solution, how good the transcription is will be based wholly on the performance of a single individual and their functionality on the day.

These services aim to provide a level of service, but it’s for the customers to evaluate if the transcription is suitable for their needs. And, we factor in what they’re saying.

GMR Transcription is a US-based operation that started in 2005 and has since cultivated business relationships with over 12,000 clients.

Alongside transcription, it also provides translation, editing and proofreading services.

Costs

As with many transcription services, GMR works on a per-minute fee that is set by how quickly you want the transcription, the quality of the recording but also the number of simultaneous speakers.

The default service is for English spoken by an American, as all the transcribers are located in that region.

For those willing to wait 3-4 weeks, a clear audio recording of up to two people costs $1.25 and $1.75 if the audio isn’t perfect. And for 3+ speakers, clear audio costs $1.50, and poor audio is $2.00 per minute.

That seems inexpensive, but how many people are willing to wait nearly a month to get back the transcript?

If you want same day service and have good quality audio, then the cost is $3.50 for up to two speakers and $4.00 for three or more.

The standard service is 3-5 days, $1.75 for those with good audio and two speakers and $2.00 for three or more.

There are more layers in the pricing options than we’ve detailed here, but you get the idea.

In addition to the chosen service, customers have three optional services that cost $0.50 each per minute of recording that can add Verbatim (includes uhs, ums, false starts, and stutters), Time Codes and Corrected Grammar.

Alongside American English, GMR also offers Spanish transcription for US Spanish speakers, and the pricing of this appears to be roughly a dollar more per minute than the English transcription. It should be noted that the Spanish spoken in parts of the US isn’t the same as that in other Spanish speaking regions, like Spain.

Video transcription is also an option that costs about $0.50 per minute more across the various options.

For those wishing the evaluate the service, GMR insists on a $50 minimum order, a $250 minimum order for legal or court-related files, and a $5 per transcript minimum fee.

This degree of variation seems overly complicated, and GMR should consider simplifying their cost model substantially.

How it works

GMR has 175 professional transcribers, all residents in the US, and files uploaded by the customer are directed to them for processing. Alternatively, GMR has an Android phone application, Easy2Transcribe, that can be used to capture audio and then send it for transcription directly.

For those with files, the types of audio and video accepted include mp3, aif, asx, au, aac, ape, asf, dct, dss, dvf, divx, flac, mp3, msv, mp2, mpga, mpg, ogg, ra, ram, rm, sri, vox, wma, WAV, mp4, mov, wmv, mov, 3gp, flv, mkv, m4a and AVI.

And, for those still embracing the previous century, GMR will accept audio tapes being mailed to the company.

In terms of accuracy, GMR quotes 99% accuracy on good quality audio with two speakers but does not guarantee accuracy on files of lesser quality.

Alongside English and Spanish, GRM also offers Mandarin and Arabic.

Once the audio has been transcribed, the customer is notified that the transcription is ready, and once they pay, the document can be directly downloaded or sent attached to an email.

Final verdict

In terms of their customers, the vast majority were either very happy or thought the service good, though a few people were disappointed with their transcriptions. That’s to be expected in any process that involves humans, as we’re not always at our best every day.

However, there are a few things about the GMR Transcription pricing model that don’t entirely make sense. One of those is how video transcription costs more than audio transcription. Why?

Surely if you can see someone speaking, it is actually easier to work out what was said if the sound is obscured than if you can’t see them at all?

For English speaking transcription of up to two speakers, it costs $3.50 per minute for the same day service, and if that is video costs $4.00. Other than the temporary space that the file takes up and how long it takes to upload, what is the difference?

For those wondering, taking a couple of minutes to run a utility and split the audio out from a video file to send for transcription would save you $30 per hour of recording.

That point hints at a greater issue here. When you look at a headline cost of just $1.25 a minute of human transcription on good audio, then that seems highly affordable. But the list of reasons that GMR can elevate that to ‘difficult audio’ status is long and includes people speaking over one another or using medical or scientific terminology, along with thick accents.

That last one probably makes it unsuitable for those that speak English natively from other Countries than the USA, including those who are, ironically, English.

If you trigger those overheads, throw in that you need Time Stamps, and it turned around by the next day, and you could end up paying $4.50 a minute, a much less attractive cost.

This service might be excellent, but it looks heavily tailored to US customers, and its cost model could easily result in more significant charges than was expected by the customer.

Transcription is the process of turning audio into written text. This is useful in many situations, from college students needing a transcript of a recent lecture to study, to journalists recording conversational interviews and needing to search to get a citation for their article, or professionals wanting a written transcript of a meeting. Whatever the scenario, the written word is more convenient to work with than the audio recording..

Unfortunately, the transcription process is labor intensive and time consuming. In addition, it is difficult to do it with complete accuracy, without spelling errors and with correct punctuation, and even more so for those who have ‘two-finger typewriters.’ This is where a transcription service comes in that can do the hard work and convert this audio file into written prose on request..

The choice of transcription service comes down to cost, whether it is human or computer transcribing and other integrated services. With the basics laid out, here’s our top pick for a transcription service.
