Your likelihood of being a transcriber is pretty low if you’re more interested in looking good before slipping behind your desk in your fluffed up hair and fresh lip gloss. You will definitely face the inevitable predicament of getting your hair unruffled due to the nature of the work you’re exposed to.
Being a transcriber means having your headphones dangling across your head every time because you want quality, and headphones give the best accuracy levels from their high-quality sound.

Messed up hair for transcribers, therefore, is something bound to happen and this cannot be a bother, and might even be considered a perk of the job. Alphabet Transcription Services outlines why this line of work is some of the most empowering for women:

The 90’s Metal Band Member Look is Fine
Busy environments and public workplaces will always give you a sense of needing to look good. But then beauty mishaps are to be considered since they are inevitable, and though they may happen every once in a while to several people, to the unlucky one, they just happen more often.
It is not rare to have cases of misapplied or overapplied makeup when you’re in a rush – we’ve all been there.
For a transcriber, who may more often than not be working in solitude, these mishaps are but ‘trees on the road,’; the less important things that will go unnoticed and even have you laughing it off. Because concentration for accuracy is more critical to your clients after all.
Bad Hair Day? No Problem
Ever had a disaster at the hairdresser or with your fringe that you attempt to cut off? It goes without saying, that beauty errors too are a ‘bound to happen’ thing and can get embarrassing.
Transcribers, on the other hand, have a work-first mindset, knowing that there’ll be more than enough time to look good once they’re done. Their hashed hair-dos, therefore, will go unnoticed. Their accurate, high-quality work will be the thing that is noticed. It’s how the working world should be.

No, Not a Disney Villain
Who would say that transcribers are left out of the looks and glamor department? Just because they’re not as concerned with buffing their beauty over their work doesn’t mean they can’t look as good as your girl crush.
Therefore, take Cruella de Vil off your mind every time a document from a transcriber drops in, and replace it with the epitome of elegance; someone who can blow your mind with their substance first and their style later.
Transcription offers a positive perspective for society
In a society where women feel such high pressure to look good in their work environment, the role of a transcriber of audio files is a breath of fresh air. It offers an ideal to other industries to follow and for society to think differently. To realise that the merits of an employees’ work should be what matters and is what’s rewarded.
This makes the job of transcription an empowering one for women, but also a fun role for those who just want to lounge around in their pyjamas on days they feel like it (and let’s face it, who doesn’t like that on grey, rainy days?)
