A couple of years ago I was using a transcription service, though that may be of less help nowadays due to AI transcription. Pay was crap, but it was better than nothing for me at the time. The service I was working with seems to have shut down, but you might try https://www.transcribeme.com/freelancers/

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Maybe try Amazon’s mechanical Turk? Not sure what the payout is like, but might be enough
Is it $20 before or after tax? Can she afford to put some money in it to start with? Is she good at something unique or special?
If she has the energy, she could pick up streaming or YouTube video.. There seems to be some interest at how people with disabilities live and manage everyday hurdles but also their thoughts on life in general!
Many people with disabilities also can make some money selling art or other services that they might be good at.
Just consider that making money may in some countries substract from the financial support already offered by whatever country you may be in
Please note that every day thousands of people try to start with streaming/YouTube/TikTok etc. and almost all of them fail. It's not impossible to make money, but it super hard and most people never make anything. I would never recommend anybody do it with the intent or expectation to make any money. Just do it for the fun of it and if you happen to make some money, great!
I think that if you have the personality for it and something unique to talk about, i dont think that its that unlikelly. Especially if the target is $20 a day.
Viewers are very curious and id guess that a steamer with a vissible dissability could attract a fair bit of users. I know its all about exhibiting ones personal side but i've seen suggestions here for making porn so it is maybe not that extreme
Will she get taxed for such a low income?
$20 a day is $7200 a year; probably not.
But if she's on disability pay, it might get cut by that amount.
This was posted on the site which will not be named quite some time ago, but I figured it might be helpful here. https://remotists.com/
Seems like it might fit the situation. Best of luck to your friend!
Ikea is hiring people for it's Robolox branch. But generally Chat moderation(aka being a fake chat partner in the more,well, infamous partner seeking platforms) is an option, same goes for normal phone support/callcenter work.
Fiverr is an idea, there are similar jobs as well.

Ironically there will be people on OnlyFans likely willing to pay her money daily to see her.
It's definitely not for everyone, but I've met a small number of disabled people who do exactly this, for similar reasons.
Wouldn't offer it as a suggestion though, kinda feel like people have to come to that decision on their own.
If she can draw, she can maybe do comissions.
If she's native or fluent in English, Cambly is a good choice for teaching online. The pay isn't that good but it's something, $10.20 an hour of talk time, or $12 for group classes (which are actually easier). Seems like they've had a lot of applicants recently but they are still accepting people, it may just take a while.
My referral link: https://www.cambly.com/invite/ADAM3261?st=060524&sc=4 Generic link: https://www.cambly.com/tutor/signup?lang=en
She can reach out to me if she wants some help with getting started teaching online, I've been doing it for years.
What are her qualifications?
If she has a degree in computer science, DataAnnotation will pay $30-40 an hour to train their coding AI.
Maybe it's just me, but they have only ever had a couple of jobs available to actually work, and they are temporary.
best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.
if she really can't hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money
Any links for the agent work? Does it matter where you're from?
I have no clue exactly, and forgive me if this is inappropriate, but I could imagine porn would work maybe?
Only the top 10% earns top cash.
Maybe just feet pics.
