Important Notes

  • This is not a traditional job. It’s a freelance opportunity to be listed in a directory that clients can browse; you are responsible for attracting and retaining clients.

  • You are representing yourself, not Sonix. While you’ll be listed through Sonix, you work independently and should maintain professional standards in all client interactions.

  • There is no guaranteed income. Acceptance into the program gives visibility, not assignments. How much you earn depends on your initiative and quality of work.

  • Privacy and confidentiality matter. Treat all transcription content with care, especially if working with sensitive or proprietary material.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Sign up for the Transcriptionist Program at https://sonix.ai/transcriptionist-program

  2. Upload sample audio/video (3–5 minutes)

  3. Use the Sonix editor to fix mistakes, improve formatting, and polish the transcript.

  4. Notify Sonix that you’ve completed the “Sonix cleanup” task for review.

  5. Sonix will assess your work. If it meets their standards, you will get listed in the directory so you can start getting leads.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

What if my sample submission isn’t accepted?

Review the Sonix style and quality expectations. You can retry by resubmitting a better edited version. Ensure clarity, grammar, and consistency.

How long does the review process take?

The time varies. If there’s a delay, reach out to Sonix support to check the status of your application.

What if I never receive leads after being listed?

Make sure your profile is complete and your specialties are clear. Also, proactively share your listing or network with potential clients.
