Remote Transcriptionist (General/YouTube)

Shape Stories and Deliver Impact—From Anywhere

Can you listen between the lines and bring clarity to digital conversations? As a Remote Transcriptionist specializing in general and YouTube content, your words will shape the way audiences consume, understand, and revisit online stories. Every transcription you create will give creators, educators, and organizations a voice beyond video—fueling accessibility, content discovery, and audience growth. We're seeking someone who can transform raw audio into precise, context-rich text, ensuring every moment counts for the millions relying on accessible information.

Why This Role Matters

Video and audio content is exploding online—but not everyone can access it in its raw form. Your transcriptions make podcasts, interviews, and YouTube videos discoverable, shareable, and inclusive. By translating speech into engaging written content, you'll empower creators to expand their reach and help audiences find what matters most to them. Whether it's a viral YouTube tutorial, a thought-provoking podcast, or an industry panel, your work gives these moments a second life in search engines and social feeds.

Your Core Contributions

• Transform diverse audio and video content into clear, accurate transcripts that capture nuance, tone, and intent.
• Polish transcriptions for readability, ensuring context, timestamps, and speaker identities are always clear.
• Partner with editors and content managers to optimize transcripts for SEO, weaving keywords and phrases that boost organic reach and engagement naturally into every document.
• Transform complex dialogue into concise text, simplifying jargon and highlighting key insights to appeal to a broad audience.
• Anticipate where auto-transcription falls short—correcting errors, filling in gaps, and making sure every story lands with impact.
• Use digital transcription tools and workflow platforms (like Otter, Trint, Rev, Notion, and Google Docs) to keep tasks flowing efficiently from first draft to final upload.
• Embrace feedback loops: you’ll adapt, learn, and iterate as content trends shift and new formats emerge on YouTube and beyond.
