Oh, man. That's horrible. Horrible. If you're primarily a transcriptionist, and a good one, looking at the edits can kill your soul.
Thank you! It's never been stated anywhere. I learned that the "two spaces after end punctuation" rule is now outdated when I went back to college...
Trying hard to be vague enough to not be in trouble but specific enough that those of us who do a lot of CW hits can understand. I wish there...
Thank you very much. It's what I went with, but I wasn't completely sure. Wasn't it in the list of word preferences in the old style guide? (and...
Sorry that I didn't answer this more quickly. I suspect that you're on the "View and Submit" tab. Go to the "Transcription Job" tab to actually...
Yes. Brava! And I like that it's spelled out that if you don't know the speaker's last name but DO know the first name that the first name is good...
Use quotes when the thought is a direct quote of the actual thought. I thought, "Boy, I sure would like some lunch." Don't use them when...
Yep. There are editors out there that will clip any of the common filler words without looking at them. I wonder if someone has set up an...
You absolutely use contractions if the speaker does. The style guide lists several contractions in its "grammar problems" section at the end. I...
I hate to say it, but I think that I've picked out all that's worth doing at normal price. Since it looks like this file was originally over three...
Geez, this glut of expediteds that should be marked as difficult are really driving me crazy. The audio is mediocre at best and sometimes horrible...
At least on the expediteds, they seem to show back up with the correct link. I suspect that the hits are posting on turkers.castingwords.com...
I hope to whatever higher power you believe in that you've reported the sumbitch to CW!
It's been pretty slow the last few days. Right now, according to the tracker at turkers.castingwords.com, there are NO transcription jobs at all...
But the thing is, you have to make sure that those filler words are ACTUALLY filler. I've seen a grading/approval hit where someone has taken the...
I might be an anomaly, but if the expediteds are flowing (which isn't guaranteed, of course) I can pull in around $15 an hour. Or even more if...
Glad to see a forum that isn't hidden behind a wall of secrecy. I just found this place. I was a lurker at "the other place" before it became...
Since there were no express or expediteds around, I decided to do my good deed for the day and do some approval and grading... I just flat out...
