Freelancers: Transcribe, edit, and complete other short jobs online, at your own pace. Work as much or as little as you want, when you want. No fees - we pay you, you don't pay us.

Our workers are the (not-so) secret ingredient of CastingWords.com! They do the transcribing, editing, QA and more. They can work from anywhere they have a computer and Internet access, and on their own time. No obligations!

Our workers are freelancers, also known as independent contractors, and as such are responsible for their own tax reporting under the tax laws of their respective countries. In the US, being an independent contractor means you are self employed. See this IRS page on Self Employed Individuals for helpful information on US tax requirements.

When you create an account, you will be asked to provide basic information and fill out a brief bio. Then, some workers are directed to a transcription test, which involves transcribing a short audio file.

The test serves as an introduction to our assignment format, and also allows us to verify that your work is accurate, displays correct English usage, and that you have read and understood the style basics outlined in the Quick Start Guide.

If the system does not direct you to the test, but sends you directly to your Dashboard, that means you are not required to take the test. In that case, please check your email for your welcome message, which will provide further info and provide links to the Style Guide and other resources. Please note that whether or not you take the test, you will need to read and understand the full-length Style Guide before working on paying assignments.
