Please did anyone else have 1700 deducted from their UBA card? They said it's GTP manual debit.

Good evening house. I went to the bank today to get my international prepaid card and was told there are 3 types of cards. The international naira low, the international naira high, and the international dollar. Which one should I collect for withdrawal from Lesotho PayPal? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I appreciate the effort of the older members of this thread taking their time to put newbies like me through.
Please regarding to opening PayPal account, I am currently stuck at the page where I am suppose to input my postal code under Business address. I have tried all Nigeria zip code I can find online and none went through. Can anyone put me through on how to go about this? The article on the 1st page isn't really detailed on how to go about this step. Thanks.

You can either get the naira low or high,they are both the same except for the limit, the limit of the High is 750k I think, while the low isn't up to 300k..you can go for the high tho....you don't have business with the international dollar...But which UBA branch did you visit ? I thought banks are locked down as well, wanna go get mine as well but ain't sure their branch in Ikorodu here is opened due to this lockdown

Good to know you are in ikorodu, same as me, do you mind we meet up someday, ? wouldn't mind gaining from your pool of experience as regards transcribing.I'm pretty new here just trying to navigate through.

I really don't know how else to improve with this people. I feel sometimes they intentionally want to get free work. I'll transcribe well (I'm sure) only for them to come and tell me about misheard words, punctuations, missing dialog, and sentence structures. It's always a combo of at least punctuations and sentence structures. WTH. The missing dialogue is overlapping speech, and when I can't use [...] more than once, if I'm lucky to catch above 5 mins call, I can't use it more than twice, what will I do? Sometimes a third person will join, and all three will be talking with network error/audio delays. Wtf. I use grammarly, so I know my punctuations are okay. No one has ever questioned my punctuations since school, through finishing uni. Even some of the tutorial videos I watched, these people ommited some commas. Wtf. I'll work for hours only for someone to come and give me 2 or 1 after I've done 95% of the work. I use noise cancelling ear piece and force my volume to 150%, so I'm hearing well.

Don't use so, like, (as the faq says), I stopped. But that's when my failing increased.

Please, guru users here, what's your advice? I've read the faq tire. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. At the end they'll send screenshot of faq saying they're a freelance site and don't teach grammar. I'm not the type to give up, but it's annoying be paid for only 2/5 transcriptions I do.

PS. If you notice any punctuation error in what I typed above, pls let me know. Haven't reviewed it, but let me know, please.

Please, exactly when are fillers (like, you know, so, right, okay) considered excessive?

They say so and like so much. I limited usage to only once per rep/customer dialogue, but I guess that's still too much. I stopped including it, but I guess that's omitted dialogue.

Also, please what is considered properly structured, other than making sure the rep/customers are labelled right? Nothing about proper structures example in the faq. Do I Enter a new line with every new sentence or what? E.g, when the rep/cus explains something lengthy.

It's like a game of whack a mole. Watch until a job shows up, then quickly click.

Try to study the passing transcript example sent to you after failing a job, it is on the next column after your own call ID. As for using Grammarly, it is not needed and can even contribute to you failing too. This is not an English essay job, it is a job that deals with you capturing a conversation the way it happened on the call, so your punctuation here is expected to go with the flow of the call. Nobody will deliberately give you a mark down, because these calls are rated without the rater having the ability to know who worked on the transcript. Just study those passing transcript sent to you as if you are new to English language as a whole and I can assure you success is guaranteed. Are you on the old platform or new platform?

Really? I thought recently people were complaining of technical issue being encountered by mobile phone users in the platform.

Some weeks back before I quit, it was very difficult for me working with phone. Ordinary to change timestamp na war. Has all that changed now?

Let me talk a little about the new platform since that's what I use. Opening your work in a new tab, if you mistakenly delete the current will lead to loss of work done even if you used five hours unlike the downgraded beta platform. Less bug and you can refresh your work without any issue really on the same tab. Working on mobile phone could be a bit slower if you're working on 10mins call and above. Generally, it has it's pros and cons.
