TranscribeMe Minis: Meet Big Al

 

Today's TM Mini features a unique transcriber indeed! 🤪 Meet Big Al!

Big Al is our most prolific transcriber; he likes to work his fingers to the bone! He’s been with TM from the beginning when it was just a skeleton crew, approximately 500 years ago (according to him). So we asked what he likes best about working for TranscribeMe. He said, “I love the online community because I’m usually very lonely since I have no body.”

“I don’t have the stomach for in-person work,” said Big Al, “but I could feel it in my bones that this was the remote job for me.” He told us that at first he didn’t have the guts to take the exams to open up more work. But he boned up on his skills, and he’s on every team now!

When asked if he ever struggles with a tough transcription, he said, “Difficult audio doesn’t bother me. Nothing can get under my skin.”

The last thing Big Al had to say was, “Working here allows me to afford my trom-bone lessons! Thanks, TranscribeMe!

Have a safe and fun Halloween weekend! We hope you found this humerus!

  TM Mini Time! Today we're featuring Leda C. TranscribeMe offers a multitude of services from transcription (for education, medical, market research, and more!) to creation and annotation of training data for AI and machine learning to translation of foreign languages! And the key to all of these services is our wonderful crowd!  Leda C. is one of those key crowd workers. She works on our Spanish translation team producing high-quality foreign language translation with unrivaled accuracy. She's been doing this for us for three years now, and we wanted to hear from her what it's like doing translation at TranscribeMe. Here's what she had to say: "My life has completely changed because I have the fantastic opportunity to work in my mother tongue (Spanish)."  We love that our work is not just an income for so many, but can be a blessing in other ways as well.

TranscribeMe Minis: Meet Archimedes F.

  It's time for another TM Mini! Today we'd like to celebrate another star TranscribeMe transcriber: Archimedes F. Archimedes has been with TranscribeMe for about three years now. Before finding TM, he was in IT for many years, considering himself a "science and math and techie type of guy." When he left that job he wanted something different that allowed more free time. He told us, "After a lot of YouTube videos, reading stuff on a lot of subreddits, forums, and many other random stuff, well, I landed on transcribeme.com. And the rest is history!" And we're so glad he did! He says he enjoys the flexibility of when and how he works, being able to work as long or as short as he wants. We asked what his favorite thing about working here was, and he said, "I like the fact that I get to choose the kind of work I do, whether RUSH files, special projects, or even creating audio files for machine learning. TM isn't just about transcribing, and that
