  Wa alaykumusalaam, I have the same question, which is making me hesitate about applying.. Perhaps there can be a team of transcribers? I don’t have experience transcribing lectures, but insha’Allah I hope it isn’t too hard or demanding.

  Asalamalikum,
  There is a team of transcribers managed by our content manager- Sister Sameera.
  You will be assigned a lecture to transcribe according to our style guide and be assigned a deadline to turn it in (usually two weeks). We would appreciate professionalism once you make a commitment. If you can not make the deadline you would just not accept the assignment.
  
  Please do let us know if you are familiar with transliteration/romanization of Arabic words.
  
  If you would like to help but are not sure how-please do email us as we will take interns for some positions and train them, inshaAllah.
