Audio Transcriber - Permanent Position (National)

Audio Transcribers listen to digital audio recordings of hearings and other events to create a word-for-word translation of the recording from speech to text.
An Audio Transcriber must be diligent and thorough, but also conscious of and responsive to time restraints. Transcribers at Auscript work in teams to create the final transcript, with each typing short 'turns' that are later combined by a Document Checker.

- A typing speed of no less than 80wpm with a minimum accuracy of 98%
- Excellent knowledge of the English language, with particular emphasis on spelling, punctuation and grammar
- Availability to commit to at least 3 full days per week on a 12pm – 8pm shift, or full time hours
- A motivated and dedicated approach to work
Training will be provided to the successful candidates. Previous audio transcription experience will be highly regarded. Competitive remuneration available, directly linked to performance, therefore you must be capable of producing high quality work consistently.
Please specify which days you are able to work 12pm - 8pm. (Please be advised that 3 full days is the minimum requirements, however full time positions working 12pm - 8pm, Monday - Friday are available).
