Thanks for your interest in rev. Please listen carefully to the audio file all the way till the end and please edit and transcribe as needed, correcting misspellings, researching names and attributing speech through the correct speaker to create an accurate and complete transcript. Let's talk a little bit about Rev and its expectations.00:18Great, so tell us how rev got started.00:22CEO Jason Chakota says that the idea for Rev.com was inspired by his time at oDesk. Mr. Chakota started the site with co-founder and former oDesk colleague Josh Brianlinger in 2010 they were joined by other MIT classmates who built this platform which now specializes in transcription, captions, foreign subtitles, and document translation. Rev started temi as well.00:48What does rev look for in a freelancer?00:53A strong command of the English language is essential. It's important to know which word fits the context, such as "There going to get there books from there." Your files are graded on accuracy and formatting, you're going to need to follow Rev style guidelines. Its important that quality is consistent.01:24How do you handle difficult audio?01:27We recommend that agents work on files with which they're comfortable. Otherwise, use appropriate notation tags such as inaudible tags for indiscernible dialogue. Please do your best to clear inaudibles by slowing down audio or rewinding.01:47Do we transcribe non-English speech?01:55Use foreign language tags for foreign language speech and the file is 100% in a foreign language or is only an automated recording, then the file is considered unworkable and must be unclaimed not submitted.02:10What about software or equipment?02:14Rev software is optimized to work with the latest version of Google Chrome browser and using Mozilla Firefox as a backup. We recommend good quality headphones or ear buds. You'll need a laptop or computer with a keyboard. Please, no iPads, iPhones nor Android tablets.02:33How do the agents get paid?02:36We pay via PayPal on Mondays by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Well, that's all the time we have for now. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me.
