Avoid SpeakWrite Transcription - they refuse to give a pay rate - for the job SM Posted: Jul 5th, 2022 - 3:40 pm
I spent time doing their lengthy application, writing a small essay about what an asset I could be to them, I took the typing test for general transcription with a perfect score. After several back and forth emails about "moving forward" or "next steps" I find out there were no positions available at the time but my skills were good enough they wanted to put me on a waiting list.
Okay, whatever. In the meantime I continued searching and found something else.
Over two months later I get an email that they have a legal position open, not general. They want you to do 10 test files and training within 30 days. No pay mentioned.
I ask her about pay for those "test files" and am told you get a $25 incentive for finishing the files, doing corrections, and completing training in 30 days.
I ask about a specific pay rate and am referred to the jobs section and then FAQ page of their website. My fault that I didn't read that far in the beginning to find out the pay early on. For the last time, I ask her what is the specific pay rate and how is it calculated.
By this time I'm fed up and know I wouldn't take this job, but out of sheer spite I wanted an answer so I could share it with the rest of you. HALF A CENT A WORD - this copied off their FAQ page, but still does not explain how words are calculated.
Screw it. I dont like avoidance, nor dishonesty in any form.
