Slack is the work place community where you can get to connect with other transcribers and moderators who can help you resolve any issues or questions. Just sign-up and the bot will put you through.

For the PayPal, you can follow this link to learn how to do that https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L1TiijdFxxx81cj8a1q5rXZAjeidcQyC/view?usp=drivesdk after opening the PayPal account, go to your nearest UBA branch and tell them you want the international Africard. That's the card you'll use to get your funds directly from PayPal. Please note that you must always log into the Lesotho PayPal using the link provided in the document.

Take some time to read the FAQ and help before you start your first job. It is extremely important.

How do you guys actually get a 5 rating? I have several 4 ratings, and they always come up with sentence structure, grammar and punctuation errors. My sentences are always correct, even the punctuations. What can I do to avoid this? It seems impossible.

I used the above link to open my PayPal and I am able to withdraw to my Africard. Someone asked why he is unable to withdraw to card a few days ago with his SA PayPal and he got "No you can't withdraw to card with SA paypal" as reply. Now I am beginning to wonder if I actually opened mine correctly because I can withdraw to my Africard.

Hi, this is James calling from Bosson Consulting Group. Right now we have a promotion on our executive consulting services. Is this an okay time to talk? I’d like to discuss how we can help you streamline your teams business processes from ground up.
Basically, we specialize in accounting, management consulting, private equity, finance advisory and we recently built an award winning to focus just on digital product development which i think is probably the most applicable to what you guys do right?

Boss, how do you avoid sentence structure, grammar and punctuation errors? I've been getting 4 rating because of these errors no matter how I try.

@brijibs
@samsard
@hausadreturn

The issue is not your sentence being correct. Simply, it's as a result of punctuation. Try reading more on use of pauses, periods, semicolons, colons. The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation is a great place to start. More resources can be found online too. Just try reading on the topics I mentioned earlier on. There is quiz too. So, I think that helps. grin cool

Do you have any experience with transcription?
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by hawwal84: 11:39pm On Oct 07, 2019
Yes, I do.

However, your post did dictate that you are looking for experienced Transcribers but I felt I could throw my hat into the ring as I know the main success in the transcription process lies with properly hearing the audio file and researching ambiguous terms.

Perhaps, I might through the whiskers be successful enough on the test to be a part of your team.

Regards.

You can make 'minor grammatical corrections'. But be careful else they markdown for paraphrasing.
I make corrections and was getting 5s, then boom! I get a rating note to avoid paraphrasing and I also decided to manage 4s for the time being.
But even seemingly bad grammar can sometimes be made right with punctuation.
I don't have a guidebook for that.
I also get those rating notes, matter of fact even Ralph told me it's basically the one rating note he'll get whenever he does get a rating note.

I don't know if anyone has worked on a Kwantum Azzurance call. They seem to be a new client. Those people have the cleanest audio. Even more than Sonron and Dijital Aer Struck..The AI transcript was almost perfect.
All I was practically doing was indicating speakers label and making minor corrections.
