Does anyone else find the qualification test frustrating? Between the inconsistent ratings and non-recording of answers, I feel like beating my head against a wall!

I wrote strokes on a sheet of paper for the amount of queries on the test and checking them off as I do them just so I won't have to keep logging in and out to check my percentages. My report shows far fewer than I have done. Some queries have cycled around at least 3 times but I never get the box showing the correct answer so I am assuming my ratings were not recorded for those so they go back into the pool. At this rate I may never finish!

Okay, rant over. I have resigned myself to accept what will be will be. If I am meant to do it I will magically pass, if not I will spectacularly fail.

Hello all, I've just registered with company and have applied for the Audio Transcription job. I have received the guidelines and although things do seem to make some sense I'm also thinking :eek: a bit ... hoping things become clearer once I see the software ...

Is there anyone else just starting out? Or did anyone else think this when they first joined?

Joined a few weeks ago, spent a week reading and understanding the training, did 200 training hits and fell way short of a pass - the science of the subjective to me! Withdrew my application.

Sorry to hear that, tgon.

Has anyone done a short term transcription job with them?. If so about how much do you earn part time?. Have passed the training even though it was not perfect, the coding is a bit fiddly to get used to. Considering the contract.

Is anyone else still waiting for payment for the last invoice period? These inconsistent payment dates are getting frustrating! :mad:

Yes, still waiting here. This is now the latest I've ever been paid, going to have to pester them I think.

Yes, for me it was quite frustrating and a bit stressful on the tests and the first week on production, but now it´s ok, have you tried to log out and then log in to see if they recycled issue is solved?

I completed the initial training of 20 lines of audio transcriptions. Got the results to find I had only got 5 right. They've sent me what they think I should have typed, but on some of them I completely disagree with their transcription! They've now sent me the qualification set (which I can't quite believe, seeing as I got so few right on the first go), but I don't see that it's worth carrying on having got a lot wrong and disagreeing with the transcription ...

Any advice ...? Is this normal?

Out of interest, have you done any of the Appen/ABH transcription work?
