TranscribeMe Punctuation & Grammar Style Guide Part 2: Hyphens, Colons, Semicolons, Quotes, and More

[@ghassanaljabali9157]

I wanted to come back here and thank you . I just passed the English intrance test thanks to your videos you deserve more than a million subscribers 🌹

[@ghassanaljabali9157]

TranscribeMe declined my application after I passed the test ! they said in an automated email that I have violated their guidelines for creating multiple accounts which I never did! It broke my heart. I spent three days preparing for the entrance exam and passed the test on my first try. I really needed this job. Please can you help me?

[@mercyokorom1713]

While watching this tutorial, I have realized so many mistakes I made while taking my Transcription test. Thanks so much, Jennifer. I will definitely try again with all these instructions in mind.

[@JenniferMarieVO]

You are my idol in Transcription, Ms. Jennifer. Thanks for the enrichment information.

[@Williswan1]

I like your videos because they are informative, and educative. Although I am native speaker myself, I have learnt a lot from you. However, I would be glad if you could tell me which of the transcription companies pays more comparatively.

Hi Jennifer, can you make a tutorial again about GoTranscript. I know you don't have the best experience doing there transcription test in the past. But their transcription test now is more clearer and actually do'able. Can you make a tutorial like this regarding to their guidelines?

Awesome. Congratulations!!

[@emerahgeorge5716]

Quick update, Jennifer, in the current style guide, we were given the instruction: "No parentheses or Ellipses." However, in your video you said we should use ellipses to mark an incomplete sentence. What do you think?

[@eudesmurunga5715]

I love your work , you have really inspired me.

[@nerdypunkin4336]

Hello do you know of any sites where or any tips we can practice transcribing?

[@SSkk129]

Please specify a list of budget headsets or microphones to use for transcription.

[@MyMemoriesinMotion]

Hi Jennifer, How up to date is your style guide?

[@webjacked5113]

thank you

[@monsieurjulian]

How do I represent that a speaker's answer to a question is guessed, without making it sound like a question? e.g. speaker 1:''Why are you all tired?'' speaker 2: ''don't know; maybe it's the weather.'' speaker 3: ''I have a terminal disease???'' or ''I have a terminal disease...?'' How should number three be written as?

[@OneStepToday]

Is it necessary to put a comma before "and" in the list? Is it okay, if we write: coffee, milk and eggs? Other mentions of and doesn't require a comma before it, in sentences, right?

[@abiodunomotosho5053]

Please we need a tutorial on Gotranscript

[@howardmathews5572]

13:40 I think you meant double hyphens; the dash's symbol is a bit different.

[@lmptech6866]

I m giving test in transcribe me , but there is a sentence--- Do you ask why did why did politics turn so suddenly right words in the United States? in this sentence why did used 2 times in the sentence but the 1st 'why did' is louder, so should I remove one 'why did' or the given sentence is correct?

[@jessicapaltingca2358]

hello! I just have a question. Can I type yep and nope on transcribeme?

[@OneCreator87]

TranscribeMe won't let you use ellipses for pauses anymore. They only allow them for conventional formatting according to the guidelines.

[@JenniferMarieVO]

Good to know!!

[@glenhyvar2]

How would you transcribe when someone uses the expression, "I'm using air quotes here."? This the complete sentence as spoken: Speaker1: What is that phrase? And maybe you know what it is, but if somebody is - I'm using air quotes - and activists on social media, but they only do it for a short period of time.

[@mannysuarez2656]

Thanks

[@allankiplagat2414]

Hello Jennifer. I was wondering if you knew any transcription companies that allows you to take theirs test as many times as possible

[@JenniferMarieVO]

Hmm, I don't know of any. I think most of them let you try again and again, but there is a waiting period between tries.

[@charleneharipersad9180]

Hi there Jennifer , your content is amazing - Thank you so much for empowering us. I have attempted to sign up with Transcribe Me from here is South Africa and I see that the English Entrance Exam is not available. Is Transcribe Me still active and are they available in South Africa ?

[@SolyAlrafey]

First, thanks for these list of videos they are amazing and very helpful❤️❤️ but why do capitalize after the comma in these cases although they don't want to unless it's a proper noun? or is it allowed in th cases mentioned?

[@zzzzz9654]

Hello, is this material -the slides- available?

It's an excellent video! question: I ordered fish: my dad ordered pizza: my mam ordered water. Is it correct?

[@daisykhanjila3418]

what microphone do you use?

Does this apply to GoTranscript??

Hello, Jennifer. I recently submitted my first job as a transcriptionist. It was a 4 min clip. QA fully processed the file and I got a feedback message telling me that my work was 95% accurate and that I've done a good job. But my payment history shows that I've received 1$. I don't understand this. It is clearly mentioned that the hourly rate for a transcriptionist is 15$ per hour. Is it because it was my assignment? Is there something else I should know? By the way, thank you for these videos. They've helped me immensely.

[@JenniferMarieVO]

Great job on your file! The pay rate is per audio hour not per hour of work. $15 per audio hour would be for transcribing 60 minutes of audio. So the pay you got does match that. I know it is poor pay. Rev or Transcribeme pay better

[@JenniferMarieVO]

$15 divided by 60 = 25 cents per minute. In all my videos on transcription, I try to make that very clear because people assume it is per hour of work

[@cassiushk7783]

@@JenniferMarieVO Thank you. Yes I came to know about it. Sorry for the dumb question.... should have done my research😅

[@JenniferMarieVO]

@@cassiushk7783 Don't worry! It's an honest mistake. It definitely should pay higher.

[@cassiushk7783]

@@JenniferMarieVO Thanks a lot. Can you please make a video on how to become a foreign language subtitler with Rev. The pay rate is quite decent. Thanks!

[@somethinginmind2151]

I took the exam twice, and I thought I got the words properly but I failed twice. Maybe I failed because of the punctuations

[@kenshinyamato3233]

Its getting more hard to apply these jobs because while pandemic their applicat list is over 500. They cant accept yours directly
