How does it work
You will start as a transcriber. Once you gain your skills and understand all the guidelines, there are possibilities to develop further and progress towards becoming a subtitler or translator. Complete the Amberscript test file, and we will inform you about the further steps. You are only eligible to transcribe English files if you are a fluent English speaker (native or C1). If not, please go to the website in your native language and sign up there to become a transcriber. Good to know: Amberscript will never contact you personally to begin the onboarding process. Please be aware of scammers.

FAQs
Are the working hours flexible
Yes, you can work whenever suits you best, as long as the assignment is submitted before the deadline.
How do taxes work
If you have a valid European VAT-number, you can charge us the appropriate percentage of VAT. If you do not have a VAT number, you cannot charge us VAT and you are responsible for paying the legally required taxes within your country. We therefore advise you to sign up at a local Payroller so that they will take care of your financial administration.
How will I receive jobs
We work with a transcriber platform where you see an overview of all jobs assigned or available to you. When we assign or invite you for a job, you will also be notified via email. Generally, we use emails to communicate with our transcribers on a daily basis. What does the application process look like, and when will I be approved to start working for Amberscript? At the moment, we receive a lot of applications. Therefore, it can take a couple of weeks before we get back to you (waiting time also depends on your native language(s)). Once we reach out to you, you will be requested to do a test job based on the Amberscript guidelines. You will have 48 hours to take the test. If you pass; which we will let you know within a few days, you can start working immediately. Are there mandatory working hours and do I have to work a minimum amount of hours each month? No. You determine when you work and how often you work. However, keep in mind that when you accept a job, it needs to be submitted before the set deadline.
How does the payment work
You will receive a pre-filled PDF invoice twice a month via email. You can be paid via bank transfer or via PayPal. What does being a transcriber/captioner with Amberscript entail? As a transcriber/captioner with Amberscript, you can choose and claim jobs on our platform. The type, duration and deadline are known upfront, so you can decide if the job is a good fit for you and your personal schedule. You will work in our web-based editor to perfect the auto-generated text by our advanced speech-to-text engines. Each job you submit will be reviewed by a Quality Controller before it’s sent to a customer. In the event the job does not meet our requirements, you’ll receive feedback and are requested to re-do the job. What is the deadline for accepted jobs? For most jobs, you will have 48 hours to complete after accepting a job on the platform. “Flexible work structuring; reliable payments (freelancers are invoicing twice a month); uncomplicated and friendly communication with project managers.”
