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.

The person suggested that role for you because you're alway harsh when newbies try asking questions. To think you also learnt from the old good samaritans here, who were always willing to answer your questions is saddening.
SUPERPACK:
I taught I was the only one that noticed the harsh attitude they show towards new members, I begin to wonder the purpose of the thread in the first place.
Biggieboy:




What do u mean by harsh?

I don't see how telling someone to check the FAQ or to back read relates to that person being harsh.

We all try to help one another here, but we should at least be able to help ourselves when it comes to those basic things. If u are new, skimming through the first 30 pages of this thread would give u an idea on what to expect and some possible questions u might have initially.

There is a lot of information on this thread and in the FAQ. Reading the FAQ once does not cut it.
The FAQ is something you'll always have to make reference until u get to the point where u don't need it anymore.

QA transcription is not for everyone. If u can't find the time to read through FAQ every once in a while then don't even bother going into it cos it'll be a waste of time for you.
Biritiko:

Try to start asking all your questions on slack from now on.
Then you will know the meaning of harsh .

lol. Some ppl sha...

The response to my first post on the previous thread as a newbie was laced with subtle insult but I picked the help and moved on. I’m sure most of us here share the same story. I was just curious to know if the opportunity was actually legit before I invested my time in it and I got a nasty response. I had to back read and didn’t have to ask questions again until I started cashing out. Now that I am on the other end of the table, I can now see how annoying such a question that can be.

What we seek to achieve with this thread is to provide an encyclopedia of resources and also a forum for us who are in this together to rub minds and it looks like we are moving towards this common goal.

To the Newbies – Kindly read from the first post on this thread before posting your inquiry as most of your questions have been answered before. You can type the keywords of your inquiry in the search box if you’re feeling lazy. And don’t be too emotional because in the end, it’s getting the needed help that really matters.

To the ‘Oldbies’ – Kindly temper justice with mercy as you continue the good work of providing help and guidance to Newbies on this thread. Ignore stupid questions where necessary. Remember you were once a newbie.

Good morning house...

Pls,my PayPal account refuses to recognize both my Zenith & Polaris visa cards when I tried to verify it.Tho,there was no cash in there as at then when I wanted to verify it initially, but when the cash came in,I also tried to verify again but its still not going.I am using a Lesotho PayPal acct.I opened for a friend in Lag and his acct was verify immediately using Access Visa card after a deduction of about #400.

Now,I would like to ask those who verified through routine number of their banks.Pls,can anyone give me the routing number of any of these banks;Zenith bank Polaris bank or Access bank as the case maybe(I just opened an Access bank account this morning on my bed).

I have already started using the PayPal acct to receive funds tho and a lot is inside now.So,pls,kindly help so I can link it to my bank account without any stress again.

Well, when I joined this great community, I was having an account with both GTB and ACCESS but I decided to follow instructions and went for an AFRICARD. What I'm trying to say is that 98% of people here are making use of AFRICARD but if you actually opened for a friend and it was successful, I'd suggest you follow same procedure for yours, except it was fluk or something else. But if you're not able to do yours after several trials, and you decide to go for an Africard, then page 40 is available and detailed. But you can also wait for people who linked with the access visa card and are withdrawing successfully to answer your questions.

Remember :- one thing is to link your card and another thing is to withdraw successfully. Peace.

I did an 18 minutes call last night, into midnight. And when I woke up again after about an hour, it had been rated 4. With this quality rating notes
Non-adherence to guidelines in the FAQ - Uh-huh/Uh-hum should only be used as a response to a specific question *Punctuation and sentence structure errors
So, they’re obviously not strict like you claim .
What was the duration of the call you did?

Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by Ogaemmy: 8:45am On Aug 20, 2019
So, I tried this 7 minutes call and actually got a 3 due to just wrong placement of a comma (according to QA standard), and mistakenly capitalilzing an "M". Lesson learned. I'm happy that I didn't see several errors unloke before. Gradually, we are moving.

But this QA world rating sometimes depends on the agent who went through your work. Some are so harsh, some over look some things. But then, let's keep learning.

9 mins. I'm talking based on my observation. You can't say otherwise cos of the good score you had. My calls are always 5 or 4 in the day since I started having a good score. I'm not trying to fight the system bros. Na my observaton.

You make more mistakes at night, don't blame the system: I had 2 or 3 straight 5s, are your QAs different
As a rule I avoid working at night because I've noticed my transcripts are always fraught with errors due to forcing the brain to work during odd hours.

I really miss the feeling and tension that comes with waiting for ur call to be rated and not knowing wot u will get, if it'll be a 1,2,3,4 or a 5.

Imagine transcribing a call from glo. what you'll be hearing is "what kind of useless network is this? I've not been able to call or browse for days!! Nonsense" grin grin grin grin

Back to your question.

I've thought about that too. Like how do they get their calls transcribed, or maybe they don't .
I'll allow my ogas to answer this.

Nigerians hardly transcribe. We prefer to do it alone. "Na small task" Those guys will rather add to the workload of their staff, than outsource.

That's the problem with people, it's your effort when you win but blame the rater when you lose out. I get 3s too and I read through and notice my mistakes. If you're so confident od what you did, go to slack and dispute the rating, especially when you get a 3 or 4 and see if they don't uncover more of your errors. I've had Hausadreturn go through my scripts before, and he was picking so many mistakes I told him it was enough.
I've had my transcription resent for QA coz the SCC was like, "the QA missed so many things."

So the problem you having is with a simple "seems the raters at night are more strict?" statement.

Like what the hell.

If you read my response to Britiko, I clearly said I'm not blaming the sys oga.

If I thought I was perfect, then why would I be anxious for the ratings(cos there might be errors).

I no understand your own for the matter again.

I had three 5s in one night, one just a few minutes before 1:00 am, so who's fixated here?
Are they humans? Obviously.
The idea that they're stricter at night is just a wild dream, people bang in as much 5s and we're not even in the same timezone.
