Transcription platform for audio/video files, entry-level friendly - no prior transcription experience required, just an entrance exam. You take individual jobs from a queue rather than being assigned a schedule.
Bottom line: Yes — South Africans can join TranscribeMe.
TranscribeMe's own freelancers page carries a named tester testimonial: "Shadrack Ndjate, South Africa, 2 years with TranscribeMe" - a real, currently-featured contributor, not a policy statement, but the platform's own words about its own workforce.

Own page: "STARTING AT $15-22 per audio hour", with "SPECIAL TEAMS $60-70+ per audio hour" for advanced/specialised queues.

No experience needed to get started.
Nothing open here right now — and that is normal. TranscribeMe is a platform you join, not a queue you wait in. Roles come and go faster than we re-check them, so an empty list here does not mean an empty board there.
Sign up directly and you will be considered as roles come in.
