This Online Typing Job Lets You Earn Up To P14,000 With A Flexible Work Schedule

• Many of us who suddenly do not have anywhere to go or who have lost our jobs have spent our time putting up businesses and pursuing passion projects.

  If you’re particularly interested in earning extra money for yourself during your free time at home, this online typing job might fit the bill.

  Jhazel de Vera, a YouTuber who talks about different ways to earn income online, shares one typing gig even students can do during their spare time: a typing job on a website called rev.com.

  Rev is an online platform where people can have their audio or video content transcribed into text by AI and humans alike.

  Freelancers can apply either as a captioner or a transcriptionist. A captioner transcribes the audio of a video content and makes sure the subtitles are synced with the video. A transcriptionist merely transcribes the audio content into text.

  How can I apply?

  To apply, Jhazel mentions that you’ll first have to pass their entrance examination, which is composed of two parts: the first is about grammar while the second part is dedicated to your transcribing skills.

  If you passed the exam, you’ll be notified in a few weeks via e-mail. Afterwhich, you can now begin booking transcription jobs on the site.

  How much does it pay?

  According to Jhazel, the amount you’ll earn depends on how much work you get done. The minimum pay is $0.3 (roughly P14) per minute for transcriptions and $0.54 (around P26) for captions.

  But Jhazel notes that the rate for both captions and transcriptions can reach up to $1.1 (or almost P53) per minute, depending on the difficulty level of the audio or video. The average earnings on the site is around $300, which is roughly equal to P14,300.
