Important Typing Issue - Quicktate

When typing a Quicktate file,  please note:

 

1. If you are not sure what's being said, try to spell it phonetically.  In other words, if you cannot spell a word correctly, spell it like it sounds.

 

2. If you are unsure of a particular word, or street name, it's okay to take a few seconds and Google it... But don't let your clock time out.

 

3. If you absolutely positively have no clue what was said, then it is okay to type ****.

 

4. If the caller spells a word for you, NEVER NEVER NEVER type that word using hypens or spaces.

 

Example of CORRECT format:   [e-mail]

Example of  WRONG format:  b-o-b-j-o-n-e-s

Example of  WRONG format: B O B  J O N E S

5. Proper punctuation is critical.  Avoid run-on sentences. Do not type entire voice mail messages as a single sentence! Use punctuation.

 

6. If you believe there is audio on the audio file, but cannot hear it, click SKIP so someone else can type it. Once you skip a file, that file will not be reassigned to you.

 

7. Click SUBMIT only when the file is finished, or you are sure there is no file.
