TFE Transcription Tips
Transcriber Tracker Sheets:
Maintaining a transcriber tracker sheet is essential. Record the tasks completed, including the pages/minutes/words typed (depending on the pay method), the expected rate, and, ultimately, the earned wage. Additionally, it is crucial to track the time spent on each job.
This sheet holds significance for various reasons.
Clients, being human, may make mistakes, and we, as humans, can do the same. A tracker sheet ensures nothing is overlooked for payment and provides a written record in case original files go missing.
The transcriber tracking sheet enables you to identify which projects are most profitable, empowering you to pursue more higher-paying jobs.
Your sheet serves as a tool to monitor your progress. Has your average hourly wage increased or decreased over the past few months?
The sheet allows you to track your transcription speed, aiding in setting realistic goals and targets. Are you achieving a rate of 15 audio minutes per hour? Can you aim for 20 or even 25 on certain file types? Strive to improve, and you'll make steady progress.
If you're consistently receiving positive feedback, it may be an indication that you are ready to become an editor. Don't hesitate to speak up if you feel overlooked.
What other aspects do you monitor to assess your performance and enhance efficiency?
