12/31/2022 0 Comments Transcribe me![]() I was fresh out of a year-long medical transcription and editing certification course and I began looking immediately. I currently work for a medical transcription company, and even those are difficult to find a good one. I heard similarly terrible things about them so I avoided them like the plague.įor work-at-home stuff, have you tried Appen Global? It takes a bit for things to get rolling with them, but once you're in you get access to MULTIPLE projects that, while not offering a LOT of money, can at least earn you $250 - $270 a month, each. I'm required to have separate accounts at the workhub, helpdesk, and social network. ![]() One more postscript: three registrations for one company is way too damn many. Oh yeah and lest I forget to chip in about the staff attitudes-QAs at TM can be really rude! If you dare to dispute a rejection, they will treat you like you never bothered to read the style guide despite the fact that you only got the job by testing near-perfect. Like if my mom and her coworkers were constantly being monitored by their superintendent.Īnyway you made me laugh today, and for that, I thank you. They really are nice people in general, but there seems to be an air of fear that prevents everyone from expressing actual complaints about the company. It feels like a bunch of really helpful yet sassy middle aged women. You'd think inflation would apply to an 1831 distress call sent through a rip in space-time, bounced off the moon and delivered through a black hole, but alas, their pay is shit by just about any era's standards. Haha! I'm glad you joined the conversation on this whack-ass transcription company. AND IT'S ALWAYS WRONG! So you basically lose money for using the plugin they tell you to use! Ha ha. One of the plugins they tell you to use, "Grammerly", corrects your spelling and grammar for you. Does this ever get better? Thanks for reading!ĮDIT- I forgot to mention. While you hear someone in the background already transcribing. So far, every audio file I have had has been the same arrogant college kid, basically interviewing foreigners over the phone. ![]() This involves learning about Indian and Mexican holidays, talking about people's cats, how gay they are, and anything else you can imagine. You are REQUIRED to to do a "Water Cooler" chat with other Transcribe Me employees on the website Yammer. Just researching the company names, personal names, technobabble, if you can hear it, place names, and so on, will take at least 1 hour, for a 2 minute audio file! "KriShnA Spiritoowell HeelinGz" has to be spelled out this way exactly, if that is how the company spells and formats it. If the speaker is talking about companies in India, for example, you have to research ALL those company names, spell them correctly, and format the names exactly. You have to do research on every audio file. I am a native English speaker, from Canada, with an MA in English, and teach English professionally(Don't judge by my internet language, please.) And for me, my score after a month is 63%. Kind of like the people in the audio files. It's like learning an entirely new language. A 39 page book of rules on how they want the text formatted. QA wants the entire 2-4 minute text block to be one sentence. Yet they spell it the exact same way in the correction! QA will mark wrong, on average, 3 words per 2 minute audio file, as spelled wrong. So after sitting here for a month, 12 hours a day, I STILL can't get paid! You can't get your money unless you have at least $20 USD in your account. If you can't hear them, you don't get paid for your time. ![]() The audio quality of the files sounds like someone is sending you a distress call from 1831 through a rip in space-time bounced off the Moon and ripped through a black hole. If you can't understand what they say, you will not get paid for your time. And I cannot understand 5% of what they say. It is mostly Indians, Arabs, and Mexicans. But I have yet to receive any work in this dialect. I am registered for "North American English". You have to be up early in the morning to get any work. I pretty much have nothing, but complaints. And maybe receive some feedback from others who have done it longer than me. And I wanted to give people who have never done it my first impressions so they know what to expect. I heard about Transcribe Me on here and was excited. ![]()
