Lol... First of I'm the person, and second of all I'm not selfish. I could ignore this your post but since my motive for that suggestion is genuine that's why I have to reply this. My suggestion was for calls that are ignored by newbies that's the CLH and FC UK be made available to people with 4.0 ratings and above so that submission of bad transcripts won't be an issue. It's actually difficult understanding dia accents. Even my ogas would testify about that. I personally don't like them. So instead of making everybody pay for the sins of the newbies, an interface of rating should be created. Every range of ratings get a specific call based on priorities and complexity. So, if your rating increase, you jump to the next level. Instead of lack of calls, it will be in such a way that their will be calls but you have to work hard to get to the next level as well as work hard to remain at the top. I hope you understand this. If you check her reply, she's solely angry because of poor transcripts and the way people ignored those calls while they're their top CLIENT. If their clients ain't happy with them, do you think they'll be happy with us? Imagine someone registering and pick up a call from CLH or FC UK, just imagine. I don't see anything wrong in giving such calls to pros as a priority and then leaving other calls with the newbie. Like, I said, I would have ignored your post but I'm not a coward brother. Learn how to look at things critically before you conclude. Peace.

I kinda agree with you.

Let the harder calls be left for those of us who have been there since.

Steady flow of jobs for us= Quick delivery to FC and CLH

What Jude suggested is what is obtainable in other transcription sites I've visited. Not all transcribers are privileged to get the same calls. You basically work your way up the ladder of success. And at the very top, you be come a QA (SCC). Different levels, different pay package.
Its not a bad idea, if qa decides to implement it.
That way, we're sure of getting calls steady. Especially those of us doing this as a fulltime gig.

Thank God someone is seeing things my way. It's actually a harmless suggestion that I made.

I just checked my account with them, I didn't enter any Skype account. It's not compulsory.
And no, I don't have their FAQ anymore... I closed that window a while ago.
Go signup with them, please.

From her response, the way calls are scarce now would not be the norm but for now that's the way it's going to be, maybe until they land new clients.

Ur suggestion is not bad though but even most of us that have been on the platform for long still avoid some calls. The fact that I've been on the platform for long and I'm better at it does not mean I'll still like to transcribe those FC UK and CLH calls. It might even make some ppl get intentional 1 and 2 ratings so they'll qualify for the American accent calls.

I'm also guilty of avoiding a particular call despite the fact that I've on the QA platform for long. I avoid anything CLH, I don't pick them at all because they never ever have auto generated transcript and each time stamp is always 5 seconds long. With this ur suggestion, because I've been on the platform for long and my ratings are always okay, I'll be forced to work on CLH calls...

Apart from that, it's not a bad suggestion though..

Help

I'm having issues registering on transcribeme.



Could not being on Skype be a problem?

Samsard
Thorvikk55

Skype? Don't think so.

I'm not on Transcribe me.

I was going to join but I got to the their audio test( 3 different audios) and the 1st audio I was asked to transcribe was a 4min audio.

I just assumed the remaining two test audios will also be 4 min long or more which would mean transcribing 12 mins audio or more for free without getting paid a dime, and at the end they might even say I failed and there is nothing I'll do about it.

I just jejely left them and their audio test alone abeg.
I don't have that kind of time to waste.

The harder calls zwill be regular.



I kinda prefer them if they will be regular, 24 /7.

I finish fc UK calls about 2hrs before alloyed time is over except when there is network issue.

To be clear, the functionality you're describing is something we've had suggested to us. and I believe it's in development. We're very focused on building the best product in the space, but we still have to prioritise new features. To reiterate, you're looking for the ability to highlight multiple accounts and see the top metrics for all highlighted accounts. Is that right?

FC UK calls are over okay na. There are weeks that I only work on FC UK calls because I know they will be rated sharp sharp unlike some companies with low priority dat takes hours and sometimes days b4 they are rated.

But CLH is a big no for me, not because of audio quality or their accent though.
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by Biggieboy: 11:18pm On Sep 17, 2019
generationz:

From the estimated earning and the time allowed to finish the call.
All calls I work on are never less than 15mins.

For FC UK calls, a 15min audio should give u at least $3 even if it's the lowest estimated earning (3 rating), but for CLH, the lowest estimated earning(3 rating) for a 15 min audio would not be up to $3.

From there, u can calculate wot the earning for a 10min, 20min or 5min CLH would be.
