How was the audio quality?

[@JenniferMarieVO]

@@burnmodafoca It was great. Very easy to understand. There were a few words I didn't know how to spell because of complex terminology but it was very easy to Google and find out how to spell them.

Thank you for doing this. I have been wanting to apply but I've read some comments that you have to get 100% in all parts of the exam, even the audio transcription parts. Turns out, that only applies for the non-audio parts. I'll be watching your next vid about TranscribeMe and then I'll give the exam a go afterwards.

[@lapisthehuman]

How did your exam go im hesitant to do it

[@brerrabbit4265]

All questions must be answered 100%.. You are going to be taking those exams quite a few times before you pass. You get 2 chances per exam. If you fail you have to wait 30 days before you can take it again. Waste of time. There are better sites out there. They pay less not more and they are extremely strict.

[@hossamyasser8651]

Hello Ms. Jennifer, I hope you are fine. I would like to tell you a tip that I find very helpful for making the transcription tasks easier. I found that the transcription service in the app version of Google Translate is pretty excellent, so I tried to play an audio file from my laptop using the *mini speaker device*, it was transcripted really well on my phone. Next, I saved the transcript on the Google Translate app, then I view them on my laptop, and then I can copy/paste it. I hope you can save your time and exert less effort! The most important thing is to use the mini speaker, otherwise, this tip will not work.

For anybody that's interested, at the time that I posted this comment, I wasn't aware that the method of "getting a transcription assignment" is to log onto the work hub, and go to the "jobs" tab and wait until an audio loads.

Hey, in the manual, it says you need to score in the high 90s, which would probably mean higher than 97% or so. I have around 96 for each as well and failed. It would seriously help if there was some sort of feedback. I am really bummed out... :(
