Good day, house

Please, I joined the group yesterday, and so far I've only been getting calls to proofread an already transcribed call.

So far, my ratings have hovered around 2/3. Although I'm given the opportunity to go through it again, I'm completely at a loss on where the errors are. Please, is anyone available to help me before I resubmit them?

Also, is there a way to get transcribing calls rather than proofreading ones?

It's a humble plea

Right.
But there's a little problem.
There's a difference between clarification and just repetition.

E.g. 1:
Cus: abcd@Bleep.com.
Rep: abcd@Bleep.com?
Cus: Correct.
Rep: Got you.
Note: The rep repeated in question mode. Of course, we can decipher when something is a question and not a question.


E.g. 2:
Cus: abcd@Bleep.com.
Rep: (***abcd@Bleep.com). Got you.
***Note: In this case, he wasn't asking for clarification purposes. He just said it. By listening carefully, we're able to decipher when it's a question and when it's not. Therefore, there's no need to repeat the email address mentioned. You'll not be given a markdown whatsoever.

But then, if you do it your way and you like it that way, fine. It's still a win-win.

I get you. But not all the time a clarification have to end in the rising tone. That's why some REP do repeat numbers as the CUSTOMER is calling it. They do that so that the CUSTOMER can correct them if there is a mistake.

But, like you said, it boils down to what works for everyone individually

Sometimes the Qas are lenient so people mistake that for something else. Even Arlen brought up the issue of phonetically spelling names, some are in the habit of excluding the S for Sam, A as in alligator, L for Lima thing. If rules get enforced strictly even some "okay" would count as missing content. It's clearly stated that only filler words WHEN USED EXCESSIVELY should be excused.

I have actually been marked down for spelling that way: Sam as in Sam, A as in Apple blah blah blah.
Since then, I don't transcribe that rubbish, I always do it the normal spelling way { S-A-...} and haven't been marked down for it.

Your errors would be stated above each transcript or the redo email sent to you. Some lenient raters would even specify the segment (e.g missing content 5678866677) In that case, go through your transcript and use the last 3 numbers, 677 in the e.g, to locate the segment and see what's wrong or what response you missed, when you start your redo.

The Qa is crazy and lazy. They rate subjectively a lot.
Arlen herself brought up the issue for debate.
I always include it and only got corrected for doing it the wrong way once. I'd have disputed if I was the one.

You don't get it. I only use my ability to transcribe. Those AI are merely backups. Sometimes, you'll be stucked and AI will save the day. I had to much time to do the work and those mofos keep looking for errors wey no dey to ensure I don't get paid. If you read the script, you'll understand mua. Anyways, I've moved past that already.

Go to your dashboard, click on the CID of the call, it will take you to the transcript. At the top of the transcript are your errors. At the left side of the transcript will be role of numbers for each timestamp. Now, if the rater mentioned the specific timestamp where you made a mistake by giving the number e.g 234567890, use the last three numbers (890 in the example I gave) provided by the rater to locate the timestamp where he/she wants you to correct your error.

Please, can one choose to transcribe from audio, rather than proofreading?

I'm really grateful for your help so far.

Some of the calls just sound as if the caller intentionally does not want the rep to hear what they are saying

Hello house,
I'm new to this transcribing thing, asides articles I have read while doing research on ways to make money online.

I just registered on QA and i was given a test transcribe, and its about one side conversation responding to a call which was not played but assumed.

I would like to know if i need to put in the caller also ?

Thanks in anticipation everyone
