Introduction

Note that this document contains information specifically for the English Entrance Exam. Please make sure you are always following the correct documents for the exams and the work you are completing.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in TranscribeMe! This document has been created to guide you through the process of taking TranscribeMe's English Entrance Exam, which will open up work opportunities to transcribe chunks of audio files as they are uploaded by our clients around the globe, at rates starting at US $15 per audio hour.

Please be sure to carefully read each section of this document before attempting the exam. If you run into issues, you are always welcome to send an email to [email protected], but note that you will be directed back to this document if your answer lies therein.

Validity of Registration Information

It is imperative that your registration information be valid and correct. Failure to adhere to the following guidelines may put your account status in jeopardy. If you have already registered, carefully read over this information to be sure you have not made any errors in registering.

Age Requirement

You must be 18 years of age or older in order to work with us.

Full Legal Name

We require that you register with your full legal name, that is to say, the name that appears on your government-issued ID which you upload with the exam. Do not use a nickname or your initials. If we see that your full legal name has not been used, we will request that you update your information, which will slow down your activation process. We may also close your account if you have used a totally fabricated name.

If you have already registered with a name that is not your full legal name, please update your information through the My Account tab located at the top of your page before attempting the Exam. Through this tab, you will be able to see all of the information you registered with. Please take a moment to verify that all of this information is correct. All of your information can be edited from there, except for your WorkHub email address.

WorkHub Email

We are only able to contact you by email, so it is very important that you have registered with us using a valid, unrestricted email address. If we receive a message that our correspondence bounces from your account or you are unreachable, we will close your account. That means that if you are using an email filtering service (such as BitBounce), we will not be able to contact you and your account will be closed.

Also please note that our first few emails after your account has been activated may be directed to your Spam, Promotional, or Updates folders. For this reason, please make sure to regularly check all of your email folders.

PayPal Address

Please note that we only process our payments through PayPal and cannot use any other payment methods. As such, we are not able to activate an account to receive work if a PayPal account is not listed on your account.

Please make sure you include a PayPal account before completing the exam. If you don't have a PayPal address listed on your account, we will need to request further information from you before we can activate your account to receive work, slowing down the application process.

Official Photo Identification

For the English Entrance Exam, uploading an official photo ID is NOT required. However, if you should be asked to provide identification, you can do so through the My Accounts tab. Please make sure you are uploading an official photo ID - NOT a selfie - such as a:

• Driver's license
• Passport
• National ID card
• Student ID

We require to see your full legal name and birthdate on this ID in order to confirm your identity and prove you are of our required age limit. You may blot out other identifying information if you wish. Don't forget to scroll down and click Save once you have successfully uploaded the ID. If your ID has been successfully uploaded to your account, you will see the image displayed on that page.

Troubleshooting

If you do not see the image, try all of the accepted file formats listed beneath the Upload button until your image sticks. If you still have difficulties, you can try changing the size of the image or uploading it via different devices, such as a phone or tablet.
