We greatly appreciate your taking the time out of your day to complete audio's for us. With that said, unfortunately, we will not be able to provide audio's to you any longer. The quality of the work that you are providing is not sufficient for our clients. The number of mistakes that had to be fixed were just too many. I am very sorry. I would like to wish you well in any future endeavors.
Thanks again for your time with Quicktate.
And i don't even know what mistakes i made

Just curious - but were you actually earning any money with them??? Seems like a lot of sitting and waiting for nothing to earn a few pennies from what I've heard. Just curious.....

Try applying at ChaCha to be a transcriber - you'll probably make much more and can also work as an expediter now too.

I think any transcriber position would want you to be able to spell, etc... (o:

razz (http://www.wahm.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=21901&FID=4) i know that none of my iiiiiiiii's are not capitalize, but when i'm doing my work i'm very careful and on quicktate it had a spell check so i also use that alot to make sure my spellingwas correct.

Me too, I thought I was doing great and actually found the audio pretty easy compared to the ones I have done before, but after 14 days I received the same letter. Good news though, I got paid today, so I guess payment is within a week as they said. So if you havent been paid just be patient.

Sounds fishy to me. Sounds like they are using people for free work.

I had the same thing happen to me with idictate. I was told that they would let me know if I was doing bad. I was soooo mad because I had no idea I was doing so bad. I had actually corrected their proofer after she told me I was formatting something wrong when I was given a template to use and she had done two of those wrong. Imessaged her and she got back to me andsaidI was right, she didn't know about the template,and she never fixed the ones she had retyped anduploaded. So of course those are going to get rated low. Oh well, what can ya do. I wondered if they do this to others. I did get paid for everything I was owed though.

I think there is confusion regarding Quicktate with iDictate. 2000 words with iDictate paid me approximately 10 dollars. I could work on a file for 2 hours and end up making 20 which I thought was pretty good. The template thing is true though, because I got a template and did the job as per the template then the proofers told me I had done it all wrong and sent the corrected version. So I replied and told them that that was not the template I had received originally. They never said anything after that, but 15 days later, the famous mail.
