Jennifer: I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials. They are: Detailed and succinct with no added fluff Clear and easy to understand Realistic without outrageous claims Honest without the common "sin of omission" You called out the "sin of omission" sites stating captioners could make 20.00 per hour However, these sites left out pay of 20.00 for "audio hour", not the assumption by most viewers of "clock hour" You explained that it could take up to 4 "clock hours" to produce one "audio hour" of captions and the real pay was not representative of that claimed These sites remind me of a common teenage practice of answering questions in a vague manner. The person(s) asking the question was left up to their own devices on how to interpret the answer. This led to "I thought that's what you meant". The addition/subtraction of one word could have made the reply very clear; however, that is not the intent of deception Many people get curious when they hear a person many times. They want to associate a voice with a face. You modestly revealed your face. A plus for viewers who want to associate a "voice with a face" #1 is: You don't talk with your hands:)
Thank you so much for your kind words, Rock! Everything you mentioned are things I actively try to do to be as clear as possible to my audience. I'm so glad you noticed and appreciate my style of presentation. :)
Your tutorials are always unique from others and you always share valuable and unique tips. So, thanks a lot, Jennifer, for always helping us with your helpful videos. Keep helping us like this! Lots of love. Could you please tell me how long Rev took to reply to your Rev captioning test result?
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for the great tips. I'm a South African, and want to apply for a Captioning job at rev, but I have challenges with Atmospherics. For example types of music. can you make a video with all music Atmospherics with audio examples.
So if you can visually identify the speaker and their name has been mentioned, e.g Hi Mary. Can you start Mary's sentence with her name as her speaker ID?
Hello 👋 I am from India , after watching your transcription videos I tried giving the exam in rev and gotranscript. But I didn't a response from rev since 3 months. Can you please guide me to pass transcription exam ?
I cannot help you pass any of the exams since that is against the transcription company rules. I recommend to try applying again and await a response from the company. Good luck! :)
How does speaker labelling work when there are people talking but you don't know their names? Would it be like: - Hey, how are you? its been awhile Do you still have the dog? - I've been great Yes, I have 12 dogs now How about you?
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for the great content and tips. I want to place an order for translations too with Rev. I've tried using your referral link, but I'm not getting the $10 discount at checkout. How do I go about using your link?
Hi I have given exam for transcription in rev last week but i haven't received the results or reply from them yet. On their website they have written that result will be announced in 4-12 weeks but i have seen videos and people are saying they most probably replies in 2 week. What should i do?

Could you please tell me how long Rev took to reply to your Rev captioning test result?
Thank you! It took 1-2 weeks for me to hear from them, but this was before the pandemic. I think it may take longer now. :)
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful for captioning. I watched your Sparkle grammar videos too as a grammar review. They were great too!
Thanku so much Jennifer Marie, it was very very helpful video
Thanks, Jen!
Thanks Jennifer. Helpful video.
As a captioner, the subtiles on this video are bothering me.
Luckily I am not getting graded for them. 😂
Hi, Heather. Can you give any tips to pass that captioning test? I'm really desperate. I really need the job.
Thank you so much.💐How can we put in the music symbol?

How does speaker labelling work when there are people talking but you don't know their names?
Would it be like:
- Hey, how are you?
its been awhile
Do you still have the dog?
- I've been great
Yes, I have 12 dogs now
How about you?

Hmm, that is strange. Try this link try.rev.com/6cCrGT
I believe it should work once you register an account.
