UK-Based Freelance Legal Audio Typists Wanted
Transcription City is expanding its team of experienced UK-based legal audio typists for regular, home-based freelance work.
We are looking for accurate, dependable professionals who would like an ongoing allocation of approximately 5–10 hours of recorded audio per week, subject to availability and client demand. Please note that this refers to the duration of the recordings, not the number of working hours. The actual time required will depend on audio quality, complexity and typing speed.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Work is completed remotely on a freelance, self-employed basis.
Essential requirements
Applicants must:
- Be permanently based in the United Kingdom
- Have previous legal audio-typing, legal secretarial, court, tribunal, police, investigation or comparable professional transcription experience
- Have excellent English spelling, grammar and punctuation
- Be able to follow detailed templates and formatting instructions
- Produce consistently accurate and professionally presented work
- Be dependable and able to meet firm deadlines
- Be comfortable working with confidential and potentially sensitive material
- Have a reliable computer, secure internet connection, headphones and suitable transcription software or equipment
- Be willing to complete a transcription assessment

Training will be provided on our procedures, templates and client requirements. However, this is not an entry-level transcription opportunity. Applicants must already have strong audio-typing skills and relevant legal or comparable professional experience.

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a transcription assessment. Successful candidates will then complete onboarding and training before receiving live work.
