Audio - Please Don't Cheat

Here is the transcription of the audio: 

Please Don't Cheat.

Female Speaker: I don't know about you but so far this new year of 2023 has not been the greatest for me, financially

speaking. I know that about nine out of 10 of you are going to not pass this test but the one out of then

of you that does is going to find out pretty quickly that even though transcription is fun sometimes and

even though over time you can make a decent amount of money, you are not going to get rich from it

and that's the hard truth, unfortunately.

If you are honest and you are not cheating, and you are not scamming then unfortunately, the way like

works is that the honest people tend to make less money than the dishonest people and you only have

to look as far as our government for that, but there are compensations. Transcription is, I think really

interesting because you get to listen to the conversations of complete strangers, sometimes people

who are going through difficult divorces will drop off a whole bunch of transcripts audio requests that

they want transcribed of their significant others in some really compromising conversations or just

yelling at their kids or whatever.

That is interesting, it sure beats trying to listen to your neighbors having their fights on the other side

of the fence. My neighbors have learned to close their windows when they do that. Anyway, you will

make a fair amount of money but anyone who tells you that you are going to make $1,500 a week,

they are just lying to you or they are trying to $1,500 a week from you. Be really suspicious of people

that are trying to get you to become a transcriber and then turn over some of your hard-earned cash

to them. If you are really good, if you are paying attention to the instructions, for example, that this

transcript is supposed to be clean verbatim, not full verbatim.

Which means that a lot of the filler words and stuff that I've been saying is going to have to clean up

or left out. If you are following the instructions in the guidelines, the GoTranscript guidelines, which

are available to you if you are on the website, you should do okay. The big reason that a lot of people

get rejected though is because they give in to the temptation of look online and see if somebody else

is already transcribed this test somewhere and then they just copy and paste it in but sometimes they

don't copy and paste it in, they maybe print it out and then they just type it based on what they got off

off the screen.

That's the old-school way, typing right? I don't know if you remember the old royals and underwoods

that we used to use and the IBM Selectric, boy I sure miss those days. Anyways, please try not to

cheat any more than you have to, and good luck to you. I do hope you pass because we need good

transcribers.
