I have failed this test twice so far. Before the second time, I watched all of your TranscribeMe videos, so I thought I would definitely pass this second time. My percentage definitely went up, but I failed again. It is very hard to pass this, well for me. I feel like I did such a great job this time after watching this video and also rereading the style guide. It looks like they are going to let me try it again, which is good. I just want to pass!!

[@morganfaye93]

I tried it and passed everything except the last audio twice! Yikes. But this was sooo helpful! I skimmed the whole guide too. Thank you for the help! I’ll try again soon!

[@morganfaye93]

Something that I think might have been the issue in the last audio is lots of run on sentences by the speaker. Am I supposed to clean up the grammar? I read that I’m supposed to just transcribe what I hear in the way its said. So I’m not sure how to improve that last one. 🤔

[@morganfaye93]

There were also a lot of interruptions by the other speaker but I could usually hear the entire thought. If someone interrupts someone, but then they respond instead of finish their thought, how do you transcribe that? Example: I would really like to get the- Groceries? Yes, groceries! (Or is it: -yes, groceries!)?

Anyone who has been following these instructions and made it through, please let me know. I am getting so tired and frustrated by these tests. I have read, researched, and watched almost all that I can to guide in passing the test but in vain. Just need some encouragement.

[@nokulungamkhize1763]

keep trying sis

[@Sara19676]

Thank you for providing this instruction. I have a question. At about 4:04, you're indicating that no punctuation should appear after the last word because it is possible that the sentence actually continues. But if the sentence continues, that COULD make the sentence more than 10 words in length, which would then require a comma after 'suit' in order to connect two independent clauses connected by a conjunction. So it seems like we're assuming the sentence continues but, at the same time, assuming it remains under 11 words in length. Again, thank you for your very helpful videos!

[@mitchellleeengel7967]

You make a valid point, I don't know why they didn't add the comma after 'suit' but it is something to consider.

I don't know if this ever really comes up, but since you mentioned mathematical expressions, what is the best practice? How should we represent exponents, subscripts, and fractions involving unknowns?

[@charmanemacasinag3187]

Math Equations Use numerals for math equations, but fractions are still spelled out. Also, spell out math symbols as spoken, e.g., plus, minus, divided by, or negative. ● One-half times 4 minus 4 equals negative 2. ● It's 3 to the 3rd power.
