Being a stay-at-home mom doesn’t mean you have to abandon the workforce altogether. Super Moms all around the world are adopting new ways to earn supplemental income in flexible ways, while keeping their skills sharp and juggling the often hectic life of a family. Transcription projects allow for stay-at-home parents to work when they want, as well as become a part of a vibrant online community.

With a user-friendly platform, convenient and regular payouts, and a steady work stream year round, it’s an amazing opportunity for moms to earn extra money, take charge of their own work schedule, and spend more essential time with family. Below are real testimonials from real work-from-home-moms, in their own words, employed by TranscribeMe who love it, and why.

Transcribers provide help for each other whenever they can which encourages me to ask questions.

Say Goodbye to the Daily Commute

There’s nothing more draining than spending a considerable part of your day trapped in the car or on the subway. It’s a pain to your wallet, the environment and, most importantly, your mental health. Studies have shown that commuting is literally bad for you; with increased weight gain, ongoing neck and back problems, and heightened levels of anxiety. Stop suffering in traffic, and spend more time engaging with your family face-to-face.

“I used to do a horrible 1.5 hour commute to work each way. Joining TranscribeMe allowed me to spend much more quality time with my children and even teach my daughter how to play piano!”

So Flexible You Won’t Need Yoga

When you’re able to have the opportunity to work when you want, as often as you want, there’s little to complain about. Put in overtime near the holidays for extra spending cash, or hold off during those inevitable sick days – the choice is ultimately yours. Schedules can change, and TranscribeMe understands that your time is valuable!

I love the flexibility and consistency of the work. It is nice to work when time allows and to not be penalized if there is an extended period of time when I am unavailable. I love how helpful the people and groups have been!

I love working at home with TranscribeMe because of the many different opportunities they have to offer. I started out as a Transcriptionist and quickly moved up to QA.
