I had a family member who briefly dabbled in online transcription and made maybe a few hundred bucks doing it. Obviously they were required to sign an NDA and so on, but nonetheless, I was shocked at the recordings that they were sent— for example, high level executive meetings where financial details and M&A strategy were being discussed.
- jfengel 5y agoI'm shocked that you got to hear those recordings that were supposedly under NDA. Well, not that shocked. I'm sure your uncle was generally being diligent. But really, you shouldn't have been able to find out what he was working on.
- mikepurvis 5y agoI wasn't hearing them directly, but I heard about them because I was asked about some acronyms that were unfamiliar to the person doing the work. Definitely a grey area, but the point was more that literally anyone off the street can sign up to gig for one of these services and receive access to a bunch of potentially pretty sensitive audio.

If you have good relationships in the courthouse you can luck out with complex cases that result in appeals.
