Sure. You have to make sure that it's needed before applying it or else na mark down if you're not lucky because ellipses is just one of the rules in FAQ so not applying it will attract mark down. Someone might be lucky for not using and still get 5 rating because the platform is very lenient. If I mark some of 5 rating calls, I won't even rate myself 5 . Because when I checked the call again, I'd be seeing some silly mistakes that I made for not prove reading very well like capitalisation error, and double spacing.

This is true.

I think its based on the person that reviewed the call I think. There are times dat u will get 5 despite making a silly mistake, and other times if u make that same mistake u might get like 4 rating.

I think some call reviewers are more lenient than others...

If I can order for ear phones or headphones that can help convert all those strong British and Australian accents to pidgin or broken English for me, I wont mind buying at 100k

As a newbie, a day = Little or nothing.
By little, maybe N200.

With time, a day, you can make 1k + or less
With continuous time, 1,5 or more.

It all depends on how good you are, the number of jobs you work on, and the time you can personally create for it.

The bolded is the honest truth I swear, no sugar coating.

Guys, do you recommend any earphones for this job?
My earphones seem to be slowing me down.

Get a good earphone if ur current earphone is slowing u down. If u can get a headset with Active Noise Cancellation that would be even better (costs more though).

I make use of a Samsung AKG earpiece, but I intend to get an headset with ANC very soon.

odizeey:

Go to play store and search for technical keyboard.

Mc1darful:
Kudos to everybody for the kind of tips you guys are dropping.. If not everything, gain and successfully open a PP acct from the tips from the guide.. Thanks.
My question.
How do I know if my registration for QA was successfully. I took the test yesterday. Clip 6, and receive a msg almost immediately to join slack..
Does it mean am on board.?
Where do I start getting transcripts.
Note everything was done on phone

Check the email u received, you should see d link to d portal where u can login to ur password. The username is ur email and the password should be in dat mail(u can change it later).

Once u login u pass some few objective tests and add ur PayPal email before u can start transcribing.

Korllami007:
at bolded. You're going to be penalized for not using ellipsis and also get penalized for using it wrongly. If you have never been penalized, that means you're just being lucky.

When I was new on qaworld I was always get penalized for incorrect use of ellipsis, always .

I guess I made use of it even when I was not supposed to.
Back then, any call I transcribe there must be incorrect use of ellipsis in the rating note.

So out of anger I decided not to ever make use of it unless I'm 100% sure it is required. This decision helped me as I stopped getting the 'incorrect use of ellipsis' rating note.

Now I'm way better than b4, so I make use of elipsis because I know when to use it and when not to use it.

U still did not answer my question, sir.

Did Neymar leave Barcelona for a team that had not qualified for the champions league quarter finals 5 seasons?

Gamblers have 48 hours to withdraw their money from betting companies or lose it, as Kenya government intensifies its radical shutdown of the Sh200-billion-a-year industry.

In response to a plea by leading telecommunication firm Safaricom to give gamers time to withdraw the money in their mobile wallets, the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) Thursday granted the firms a 48-hour window before shutting their paybills.

MOBILE WALLETS

“This is to permit you to allow gamers of the subject firms to withdraw any funds they may have deposited in the material period within 48 hours from the date hereof and duly notify them of the same, quoting this letter as authority,” wrote Mr Liti Wambua, the board’s acting director, in a letter dated July 11, 2019.

Safaricom had asked the board to allow gamblers time to withdraw their money from their mobile wallets before complying with the directive.

The firm says the directive will affect over 12 million customers, and that blocking them would expose the company to legal action.

It is not clear how much the paybill accounts hold in gamers’ deposits, but the Nation understands that the figure could run into hundreds of millions of shillings.

In another move that shows its determination to stop betting companies, the betting board has roped in commercial banks and the communication sector regulator in its ongoing crackdown.

“The Betting Control and Licensing Board has not renewed operating licences for the period of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 for firms appearing in the list attached,” Mr Wambua wrote to the Communications Authority of Kenya.

“This is to request you, as the communications sector regulator, to duly withdraw the content service provider licences issued to the firms.”

MONEY LAUNDERING

The Nation has learnt that commercial banks have also been asked to follow through with the crackdown that will make it hard for betting firms to get their billions of shillings out of the country.

It is not yet clear why the government has resorted to such a drastic action against the betting firms since taxation matters have traditionally been resolved by a tribunal or taken to court.

However, it is understood that the directive was approved by the National Security Council, which is looking at other threats gaming and gambling might pose to the nation, among them money laundering.

By last evening, the paybill numbers and short codes of all the 27 companies which the government had ordered mobile companies to shut down were still in operation. The Nation successfully deposited money into the accounts, meaning that telcos were yet to effect the government order.

It also emerged that a majority of the companies whose licences have not been renewed had not been told by the BCLB before the Tuesday announcement that they faced suspension. They learnt of their fate when the Nation published the list on Tuesday.

Mozzartbet, one of the companies affected by the government’s move, came out to defend itself, saying it had paid all its taxes to the last cent and had been declared compliant.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Mozzartbet Kenya Limited has a valid and current tax compliance certificate duly issued by KRA,” said the company.

“We are not aware of any complaint of non-compliance whatsoever, and therefore take great exception to the purported suspension of our licence,” said Mozartbet.

SportPesa and Betin have argued that it would be impossible for mobile companies to shut down their paybills and short codes since they have pending cases in court between them and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) on taxes.

Last week, High Court Judge Weldon Korir suspended BCLB’s decision to deny Betin a chance to renew its licence.

Betin argued before court that unless an urgent temporary order is issued to stop the board’s decision, it would suffer irreparable losses, including being arrested for running an unlicensed business.

SportPesa, on its part, had last month sued KRA over a Sh3 billion tax demand, saying the taxman had not carried out an assessment before issuing the demand.

“The funds held by Safaricom belong to individual players who placed bets through SportPesa. Those funds do not belong to and are not held by Safaricom on behalf of SportPesa,” argued SportPesa in its application in court.

TOP BETTING COMPANIES IN KENYA

Betway

Trading as Betway, Bluejay is the third largest gaming firm and also the youngest of the top three.

Bluejay Limited was registered on September 8, 2015 and has five directors, two of whom are Kenyans.

Former Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) chairman Kiprono Kittony and his sister, Ms Caroline Jepkemboi Kittony-Waiyaki, are the only local directors.

Foreigners Jonathan, Mr Edward Chilton, Mr Jason Bradley Kramer and Mr Antony James Gevisser are the firm’s other directors. Foreign firm Rosehall Global owns 70 per cent of Bluejay and by extension, Betway. The other 30 per cent stake is owned by Quadco Three Hundred and Eight Limited.

Records at the Companies’ Registry seen by the Nation indicate that Mr Kittony and Radio Africa Limited — which runs the Star newspaper and several popular radio stations including Classic 105 and Kiss 100 — each own 50 per cent of Qaudco.

Mr Kittony and Radio Africa CEO Patrick Quarcoo are the only directors in Quadco. Betway is based in Nairobi.

Betin

Gamcode Limited, which trades as Betin, was registered locally on February 11, 2014 and is wholly owned by foreigners.

Mauritius-registered Samson Capital Investments Limited owns 90 per cent of Gamcode, while Italian national Leandro Giorgio Giouando has a 10 per cent stake in the betting firm. Mr Giouando and Mr Domenico Giovando are Gamcode’s only directors.

Jophece Yogo, a director at fund management firm Dry Associates and London Distillers, is listed as Gamcode’s company secretary.

Betin’s registered physical address is in Diani, but the firm’s main trading address is in Nairobi.

Sportpesa

SportPesa has been a roaring success since it set up shop in Kenya in 2014, to become a betting sensation and one of the fastest growing companies in the East Africa region.

Its annual revenues crossed the Sh100 billion mark in under five years, helped by the revolutionary mobile money network. It would quickly step forward to the international stage after it announced a Sh1.3 billion sponsorship deal with Everton FC. It was the biggest deal in the club’s sponsorship history. The firm would also set up a global headquarters in Liverpool.

Before it shot to global fame, it had entered smaller deals with Arsenal, Southampton and Hull City football clubs, as well as the Spanish La Liga and Italian entities.

The firm has however chosen to keep its ownership structure that includes Bulgarians and several Kenyans, who are now the centre of attention as the government cracks the whip on betting firms.

The most recent shareholder records seen by the Nation show that Nikolov Guerassim Nikolov, a Bulgarian who owns a 21 per cent stake in the company, making him one of the three biggest owners of the firm.

The other two largest shareholders are Gene Grand and Asenath Wachera Maina, who own a 21 per cent stake each. Grand is a foreigner and Ms Wacera is listed as a Kenyan in the records. In total, the three own 63 per cent.

Billionaire Paul Wanderi Ndung’u owns a 17 per cent stake in the betting firm. Other shareholders are Mr Ronald Karauri, who is the firm’s Chief Executive officer. He owns a 7 per cent stake in the firm. Karauri is a former Kenya Airways pilot and is seen as the face of the company.

The other shareholders are Peter Kihanya Muiruri (1 per cent), Cellini Holdings Limited (3 per cent), Valentina Nikolaeva Mineva (3 per cent), Ivan Stoyanov Kalpakchiev (2 per cent), Francis Waweru Kiarie (1 per cent) and Robert Kenneth Wanyoike Macharia (3 per cent).

betPawa

Arguably the oldest of the prominent gaming firms, Nanovas International (K) Limited was registered on January 25, 2010.

The firm trades as betPawa, and is wholly owned by foreigners.

Foreign firm Nanovas Limited owns 99.98 per cent of the Kenyan gaming firm, while tech start-up funder Nikolai Barnwell has a 0.02 per cent stake.

Mr Barnwell and Michael John Miller are the firm’s directors.

Betpawa’s company secretary is Susan Wanjiru Macharia, but information on the firm’s bankers, auditors and lawyers is not available.

The firm is based in Nairobi.

Premier Bet

Premier Betting Kenya Limited was registered on February 17, 2012 with a fully foreign ownership structure.

London-based Editec Sarl Limited owns 99.8 per cent of Premier Bet’s shares, while Francis and Allan Galleri each have a 0.1 per cent stake.

MFI Office Solutions finance executive Nisma Abdulgafur Kana is the only local director. Britons Frank Albert Attal and Andrew Peter Batley are her co-directors.

Information on the firm’s lawyers, auditors, bankers and company secretary was however not available.

Dafabet

Majority-owned by foreigner Cary Underwood, Asian Betting and Gaming Enterprises Africa Ltd was registered on August 5, 2016.

Ms Underwood owns 99.9 per cent of the firm, while Louis Watts Stanley owns 0.1 per cent. The firm, which trades as Dafabet, has only one director — Ms Underwood.

Two years after starting operations in Kenya, Asian Betting and Gaming Enterprises found itself in the crosshairs of a court case over the name Dafabet.

A company registered as Dafabet Kenya claimed to own rights to the trade name, and sued to stop Ms Underwood’s company from using the name.

But Dafabet Kenya did not file summons to appear in the suit. Once a suit is filed, the plaintiff has 30 days to file a summons and serve the defendant with the same before the suit can proceed.

Justice Mary Kasango dismissed the suit owing to the absence of the summons.

Lina Arunkumar Kantaria is listed as Asian Betting and Gaming Enterprises Africa Limited’s company secretary.

Elitebet

Seal Capital Partners Ltd was registered on March 22, 2012, but also runs Elitebet.

Seal Capital is in turn fully owned by digital firm Oxygen Eight East Africa Limited.

Briton Keith Shane Leahy and Kenyan Brian Waluchio are listed as Seal Capital’s directors.

Mr Waluchio was last year barred from travelling outside Kenya owing to a tax dispute between Oxygen Eight, where he is the ICT director, and the Kenya Revenue Authority.

Lalasticala, Mynd44

Someone should mention me when it hits front page o

Why?

raumdeuter:
Who cares about La Liga? why you no tell us the point difference in 2018 league when Madrid won the CL?

Let Hazard join a team that has never made the CL quarters for 5 seasons like Ronaldo did

Because Neymar left Barcelona for a team that had not made the quarter finals of the champions league for 5 seasons, right?

odizeey:
Please, one more question. I know in the FAQ they said we can paraphrase, if the sentence the speaker made is not grammatically correct. Is it totally true? Is it advisable to do so?

You can. But the message the speaker was trying to pass across should remain thesame, if not u will be penalized...

raumdeuter:
Ronaldo went to a Madrid that hadn't made the CL quarterfinals for 5years,
Hazard went to a Madrid that were eliminated from the champions league at the Santiago Bernabeu by a bunch of teenagers, and finished 19 points behind Barcelona.

Modified.

Hazardfan1:
Leaving for Madrid that had a really bad season, sacked managers and lost their best player and goal scorer is a bigger gamble for Hazard.

Modified.

Missing content on event IDs 40938565 and 40938566 / Incorrect use of ellipses on event ID 40938579 / Observe proper use of ellipses

Incorrect use of ellipsis means u used the ellipsis, but u used it wrongly. Like the example I gave earlier. If u are not sure on where exactly to use ellipsis, just don't make use of it because u will be penalized for using it wrongly (u won't get 1 for incorrect use of ellipsis sha).

The reason u got a 1 was because of the missing content. If it was only incorrect use of ellipsis they might have given u 3 or 4.

U get rated 1 automatically if u fail to transcribe some valid part of the conversation(Like a response to a question or somtin u might feel is not important, or an audio segment that needed the ESC key work around).

odizeey:
they've penalised me for not using it(the last one)

I'll be careful about it in the future.

What was the rating note?

odizeey:
Wo, the this QA stuff dey annoy me now.

Last two calls were 1's.

That should be for someone that is learning English.

I don't even know how they rate sef.

They said improper use of ellipses, and I used it as it was stated in the book. I swear weak. Even to get three na war.
I used grammarly, na still the same thing.

This thing is really annoying.

Improper use of ellipsis means u used ellipsis wrongly.

For example:

Rep: I was going to check when last (he did not complete the sentence)

Next time stamp:

Rep: when last your loan got approved.

The above should be transcribed as:

Rep: I was going to check
Rep: when last your loan got approved.

NOT


Rep: I was going to check when last...
Rep: when last ur loan got approved.

If u use ellipsis in this scenario u will be penalized.


As a newbie I will even advice against using ellipsis unless u are absolutely sure dat u are supposed to use it in dat scenario.
From my experience, u won't be penalized for not using ellipsis, but u will be penalized for using ellipsis wrongly.

I have not come across a rating note, like you failed to use ellipsis or something like that.

Melvyn11:
This just shows how ignorant you are. Madrid inquired about neymar last season but Psg refused. Madrid was never expecting neymar to be on the market so they went for hazard and by the way Hazard is zidane signing not Perez because he promised zidane total control over transfer. You don't really know how Perez love neymar no wonder you are saying rubbish. Hazard was Madrid 2nd choice

U guys will just sit down in ur one room apartment and cook up nonsense.

If I ask u to provide reliable links to prove the bolded now u will be shivering like fowl that slept under rain....

Swissh:
This is the answer to your stupid question as written by you .

So, is being injured now an achievement as a professional football player?

Do u think if ronaldo or messi spent half the season in the hospital year after year they would be the players they are today?

Some Arsenal fans would argue that IF NOT of injury, jack wilshere would have turned out be one of the best/greatest midfielders to have played in the EPL.

That's exactly the type of excuse ur giving, IF NOT of injury Neymar's 10000 champions league goals would have taken PSG to the quarter finals at least once since his arrival.

Swissh:
Man you are deluded . Like Messi has carried Barca to bottle 3 goal lead back to back .

U dodged my question bro

Let me ask again.

Have those 100000 champions league goals he's scored been able to take him to the quarter finals since messi stopped carrying him along in the champions league?

Richardlove:
Good morning house, I am a newbie and from the coaching from here I took my test and pass, opened my pp acc and finally took my first transcript but rated '0.' I am actually using phone, which is greatly a factor for my poor result eg small phone space make the workspace choke, keys are either under each other or far up or down somewhere. PLEASE, WHAT APP OR HOW CAN I BEAT THIS POOR PRODUCTIVITY PENDING WHEN I CAN AFFORD A PHONE? EITHER, SHORT CUT, APP OR SOFTWARES, THANKS.

Rated 0?

Wot was the rating note saying?

I thought qaworld's lowest rating was 1...

Swissh:
Stop jumping my man. I brought pique to show you how disgraceful hazard champions league stats are then you jumped to Terry and iniesta when there no correlation at all.
Neymar is scoring somebody entire champions league career goals in one season .

OK.
One question.

Have those 1000 champions league goals he's scored been able to take him to the quarter finals since messi stopped carrying him along in the champions league?

Melvyn11:
Hate is a strong word bro. I just don't see how hazard is an upgrade to my team that's why I wanted a superior player in Neymar.

Which player in this current Madrid team can u compare with hazard?

Neymar that has not been able to keep himself fit for the crucial stages of the season for the past two years.

Dude spends most of his time in an hospital.

Neymar1095:
The fool thinks you are a Barca fan.

This one that cannot write a complete sentence without copying from somewhere...

Where did u copy the bolded from?

Swissh:
Lol and this is relevant to hazard having 8 champions league goals how ?

Same way u deemed it relevant to pique having more champions league goals than hazard.



John terry (centre back) has more goals than the GREAT Iniesta(attacking midfielder).

John terry (centre back)-> 65 goals

Legendary Iniesta (attacking midfielder) -> 57 goals

Swissh:
Bros sit down. Pique has more champions league goals than hazard a fuckkkking centre back . Man is a disgrace.

John terry (centre back) has more career goals than the almighty Iniesta(attacking midfielder). Choke on that.
