Anyone working with Transcribe This?

They are driving me bonkers at the moment. I have had 3 rejections today. I only do jobs with them where the English is very clear to me, I double check my work, and then I run it through Grammarly as well.

Today I got one rejection because "your submission contained no punctuation." - wtf? I am yet to speak with anyone at VoxPopMe about this. I just get standard emails back. I really want to know if their editors are seeing the same files I am sending because it sure doesn't feel like it at the moment. Aggh!

Anyone else getting more than usual rejections with Transcribe This? Cheers.

Even if the site is dead, you can see by googling it (quickly) instead of going there what the site WAS... that's probably why they suggest using Linkedin.

Hey all. Different topic but if anyone has been thinking about an Ancestry DNA test, well worth it. I was adopted and was given one last year for Christmas. I now have 6 half siblings, one 3/4 brother, relatives on 5 continents, double cousins and all kinds of goodies to spend hours joking about. This year, the kids are getting me new seeds so we can plant them and grow a different family tree. Lol.

Totally agree! My boys got me a 23andme kit for my birthday this year. Found out I have a first cousin we never knew about. My mother's only brother got some girl pregnant when he was 20 and didn't want to marry her so they put her up for adoption. My mom had no idea. Through my cousin hiring a birth parent locator and doing her own DNA tests, we connected (she was first on my DNA Relative list). We also found out we inherited the same BRCA gene (higher risk for breast cancer) which is apparently dominant in all the females on my mom's side. We are now obsessed in doing our family tree.

Sarcasm. I'm afraid I am capable of nothing else.

I didn't intend to take a day off. But I did.

Wish I could just go back to sleep.

Kind of happy it's sarcasm. I really didn't want a reason to do anything after I do these rating funny headlines lol

Glad to hear it worked out. I had Ovarian Cancer and have the BRCA gene. My bio mom died of breast cancer in 2002. One of my half siblings has it now. I may make jokes about my 3/4 cousin, we call him my brosin, but it is a good way to find out more about that tree even if you really would like to plant a new one.
