Quicktate

Quicktate Review

Quicktate is another work from home transcription company that hires with little to no experience.  I just recently started with them and so far I enjoy it, the files are quick, and the program is pretty straightforward.                                                                                         

About Quicktate

Quicktate agents transcribe short voicemail messages that are anywhere from a few seconds long to a minute or two long.  The files are pretty easy and are quick to transcribe.  One thing that is a plus with this company is that since the files are short all you need is your computer and headphones.  No fancy software and no foot pedal required.

Quicktate also has medical files available as well.

So far from what I can see the files are pretty consistent, sometimes I might have a 5 minute wait time between files.  I usually log in the same time of day which is in the mornings and early afternoon and so far always something to transcribe.

Compensation

The pay is pretty low at 0.0025 per word, that is ¼ cent per word  and Medical Transcription is 0.0050 per word, that is 1/2 cent per word.  In my book every penny adds up and you would be surprised once you get into it how quick it does add up. 

Quicktate also just started a referral program, for every person you refer you get $10 after they make $25.

This company pays every Monday by PayPal.  One thing I did notice was that the initial pay date is pushed back 3 weeks at least it was for mine, but then pays every Monday there after.

How Do I Get Started?

To get started  you would go to Quicktate  and set up your profile.  Then you will be prompted to choose which typing tests you would like to complete.  There is English, English Medical, French and Spanish.  You will take a series of 5 typing test per each subject you chose.  I was notified by the next day if I had passed or not.  You will also need to take a quiz on the requirements ofQuicktate, don’t worry they give you have all the policies there to help you lol.

If you pass and qualify you will be asked to submit $15 for a background check through PayPal or credit card through PayPal.

Depending on how well you do on your typing tests you maybe asked to test for iDictate which is their sister company and  pay twice as much.

Final Thoughts

Although the compensation is low I really enjoy typing for Quicktate.  The files are fun and sometimes funny…lol…and they are extremely easy.  A good egg to have in your basket especially if you are like me who like to earn a few bucks while your toddler sleeps or is watching their favorite TV show.
