test at go transcript
well hello everybody i hope you had a
wonderful thanksgiving if you celebrate
thanksgiving
this is your new audio test and uh i'm
hoping that it'll be uh something that
will help catapult you into the ranks of
the
top go transcript transcribers and maybe
even an editor someday if you're really
good
but uh you know you just have to be sure
to read the uh the guidelines
um
and remember this is clean verbatim not
full verbatim and there's a big
difference in which
i mean there's a big difference because
you have to uh do things like eliminate
false starts and filler words and you
also have to be aware of the numbers and
the stuff with the numbers like if
somebody says
that they got
five or ten things at the store today
you need to know are you supposed to
spell out both five and ten or are you
supposed to
spell out five and use the number for
ten or are you supposed to do something
else
the answer is in the guidelines but you
have to check them to find out so make
sure that you do it right okay
and just remember that all your
transcriptions are going to be checked
by the editors and you're going to get
rated
so if your rating goes too low you're
going to get kicked out but
hopefully that won't be an issue for you
because uh
you're going to study the guidelines
right
and you uh you're going to say if
somebody says gonna or kinda or sorta
you're gonna fix it right and you're
gonna study the guidelines right so if
you don't you're not gonna get approved
as a transcriber because uh another
thing to know is um even if you use uh
all the words right your formatting
could be what gets you kicked out
because
you're supposed to make your paragraphs
a certain length
and you're supposed to use uh quotation
marks and punctuation marks in certain
ways and not in other ways
and
just keep in mind that the easier the
test audio is the more little traps like
that there are in this test for you to
uh have to figure out
like if i say that
we're getting ready to watch a christmas
story on tv for the 200th time
you need to know how to format the title
of that particular movie do you put it
in quotation marks or do you bold it or
do you italicize it well i'm not going
to tell you but you have to look it up
in the guidelines and find out
and uh what if somebody makes a noise in
the background like like me yeah like
what if somebody chimes in when he's not
supposed to be talking while i'm doing
this test well if it's something that i
reacted to you have to transcribe it
right so that means you need to check
the guidelines on the speaker labels and
see what happens when there's more than
one speaker
and you can't just put guy
unless that's his name you have to put
something else so there's all that
information is in the guidelines so just
be sure to look them up
and let's see what else do i need to
tell you oh um oh yeah well if we're
talking about money let's say
that uh you suddenly look at your bank
account and you notice that suddenly
there's been a bank error in your favor
and you've got
one and a half million bucks in there
well how are you supposed to format that
in your transcript you're supposed to uh
put the words or are you supposed to put
the numbers or are you supposed to put a
combination of it
and
you know all that sort of stuff is stuff
that we check for so in conclusion
make sure that you read the guidelines
okay and meanwhile have a great weekend
and we'll see you at the next
transcriber test this audio is used for
the transcriber test at go transcript
