YangiB:
I was about to post about this platform, too. Nice one @ Toluxe. You guys should try this site: verbit.ai. The files are not too difficult to handle, and those of you coming from QA World will definitely shine here. They have AI generated transcripts too, and they also have a video - most of the time - to refer to when transcribing (kind of makes the work a bit easier). It seems they're accepting new transcribers now, so now may be the right time to apply. They may take some time to get back to you since the test is graded by a human - not 100 percent sure, but it's very likely. The pay rate might be low, but it's definitely do-able. Here's a screenshot of the workspace and payment for some jobs (I made sure to block info that might lead to issues with the company, like the case with QA World): https://ibb.co/LhG3ZBh So, that's it. Cheers.

Any higher pay rate? Or is it capped at $0.15? I took the exam, too, not too far back, yesterday, I think. Fingers crossed it works out well for me.

Is it still the same rate?

It looks to be more because the current exchange rate gave me less while I got more money. I did a bit of calculation and I think it's around N368. Someone else can try to confirm this. I might be wrong.

Good. Do have a blissful day.

Bro, how far? Hope it went well? I'm trying to contact him, too.

On a side note, I think we should compile a list of exchangers that we have used in the past to ensure there's semblance of trust here among ourselves especially new people that need such services. More names can be added as time goes on. Even a list of five legit exchangers is a start. At least, the exchanger must have done transaction with at least two people here.
This is to avoid scammers that parade themselves in the guise of quote, unquote, "exchangers".

For clarity sake and to prevent scammers that call themselves exchangers, wouldn't it be advisable to have a reputable exchanger(s), list would be great, we can all trust and use?

We all know the transcription job no be beans so e go pain well if someone gets scammed. This is temporary until there's an alternative way to withdraw.

Where are my ogas in the house? Your thought guys?

Shed more lights?

Yeah, I know of people running Shopify Payments seamlessly from Nigeria using the normal gateway. I didn't know if you had an idea.

Investment › Re: ... by BOSS5(m): 7:16am On Feb 04, 2020

EMMAACHILE:
Stripe including stripe atlas, shopify payments or PayPal won't work here. Your money will be frozen.
There are other alternatives to this by using other less known gateways.

Can you shed more light? I'm aware that you can use authorized third party gateways, but I think that would lead to low sale conversion as customers won't immediately see where to input credit card directly. I may be wrong, though.

And also for the PayPayl issue, that's a general issue especially when you are doing crazy numbers a day.

EMMAACHILE:
Shopify for now is almost impossible to run internationally without a stripe or paypal gateway.
The only way to run from Nigeria is using a Nigerian gateway to target Nigerians or Africans.

If you dare use any of these foreign gateways, you are on your own including the fear of losing money in the accounts.

Even stripe atlas is avoiding Nigerians for now. I weep for this place. Anyone who has the means and knowledge is better off outside this place.

Please, anyone with a solution to this in 2020? It seems that Stripe which is now Shopify Payments when you use an LLC as business type, it requires you to input SSN under personal details. Some videos I have watched, people just put a default number there and proceed. But it seems it doesn't verify completely but money seems to be deposited. Anyone running Shopify in Nigeria?

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.

@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

Gives you a few hundred dollars reductions or gives you a few $100 reduction?

Which is the best fit please?

Guys, help please.

Whenever you encounter the word "a" in a statement where money is mentioned, ALWAYS know the currency denomination should be in words.

Eg. I'll give the accountant a grand next week.

If the word "a" is not used then transcribe using the currency format.

Eg. I'll give the accountant one grand next week is TRANSCRIBED I'll give the accountant $1000 next week.

Best regards. cool

Greetings to everyone.

There is a big mistake I made on a previous post concerning phone number format. I was chatting with one of the SCC and she said that phone number format would be looked into as it is not properly flagged.
The reason why I'm raising this is simple. I wanted to correct a mistake on my part on how to write phone number provided in previous pages. Please disregard it.

Information provided on the thread should be accurate.
If you were not flagged for not using what was provided by FAQ, you will be very soon.
Use the FAQ phone format ALWAYS unless specified otherwise by the glossary for CLH Group(Aus).

Fixed and submitted but, it's not showing up on my dashboard. Unless the call ID changed.

It means you still got 2 in your resubmitted transcript. cry

Note: Both transcript will have the same CID.

BOSS5:
Did you transcribe what was said? Are you sure the extension where among what was said? Do not put extension when the speaker doesn't explicitly say it.
The correct format has been explained by Britiko but let me just write it again for you.

Example:
1-345-567-6670 when the speaker mentions a US extension. 345-567-6670 when extension is not mentioned for a US phone number.

I want to give advice once more given what I read in the previous page about working at night.

Observe this rules when proofreading. (Day/Night)

1.) Read out loud: This will prevent mental predictions of words and mental mapping of where words ought to be. This is backed up by recent studies that has shown that reading from a screen tires the brain faster hence the constant skipping of words.

2.) Slow read: When you read fast, your brain will skip through mistakes and try to make sense of what is said on the page.

Remember they're looking for accurate transcripts that is clean and understandable when read.

3.) Never write and proofread at the same time. You'll waste your time and cause your brain to enter a "rabbit hole"---state where you start thinking about what's being said in the audio.

4.) When you're tired, rest. wink

Biritiko:
This is true .
Segmentation, capitalisation, and punctuation errors always give me 4. I don tire for this punctuation and segmentation thing.

I encountered this once. Learnt from it and all my works are constant 5s.
The issue is from the wrong use of pauses and period.
When a misuse is done it causes wrong understanding of the statement hence the segmentation issue.

Solution: Learn the various instances when a comma should be used. Ex: Relative adjective clauses, dependent clauses etc.

When you break the statement well, you'll get the punctuation correct.

Best regards. grin

Please can someone explain the payment process when receiving funds using PayPal as payment gateway from your sold domain market place?

I contacted legalwealth and was informed I needed PayPal to receive the money before selling to them. Am operating a Nigerian PayPal and it is impossible to receive funds. I have seen people talking about using other locations of PayPal and I don't want my account to be limited.

Please bosses in the house, help your boy make I receive funds. embarassed
