Hi Denise.. I dont think they mind how many you send at once...I send them to Freebmd as soon as I have checked the page once I have finished it and sometimes I send it straight to Derek and sometimes I wait and send him 4 or 5 at a time........ I dont bother with BMD VERIFY I just hold a piece of paper against my screen and go down one line at a time on the transcription and click on the arrow next to my typed page one name at a time and cross check them that way...its a lot quicker than using Verifier I think....I sometimes find I have done numbers wrong and even missed a name out especially when there is a lot of the same first name like William one after another..... I have also got a note pad next to me with the following info I put and cross off with a highlighter pen when I have done it. DL = Downloaded 58b2F0666 = for my reference ST = Started DO = Done CH = Checked SE = Sent That way If I have to go out and return to it later I know where I am upto and If I forgot to send any finished pages... I am probably the only one that does that but I find it very handy as I am quite forgetful lmao Hope these Help Loopy :~)

Hi Lesley, I have used Verifier as I am scared of getting it wrong, your way sounds a lot quicker. If you sent them a page with mistakes what happens? Would they sack you lol. Denise (goggle eyed)

nudge for new transcribers.

As I sit and wait for my email with the test sheet, this was an interesting read. The syndicate I joined was Free Loaders. Liz

Good luck Liz and I hope you enjoy it. It is worthwhile..
