Hi Janet, Thanks for your query. Each company you work for will have its own guidelines on formatting transcripts, including how to tag names that you are unsure of the spelling. Some companies may have you highlight the name throughout the transcript or have a specific color or font they want you to use. Some companies may not what you to flag it whatsoever. If you are taking the TCI final, there is no need to tag names you are unsure of how to spell; just use your best judgment on the spelling. You will not be deducted for misspelling a name you were not given the spelling of. Thanks, and I hope this helps.

Hi Anurag007, Answer to your question is no, certification is not compulsory for getting into transcription but it's advised to get training to sharpen your skill. Beth worthy, president of GMR Transcription, says, "if you're a brand new transcriptionist. I feel like it's a must to have some sort of training or introduction into transcription or the most recent grammar guidelines. I think it’s really important. There are just so many things that you need to know from being able to play or use the different audio softwares to being a grammar expert, I feel like those are things that you're going to need to know". So, yeah, you get preference if you have the certification.

Hey, According to me, practice can help you in clearing any transcription exam. You can start with appearing for a free practice test and evaluate yourself. TCI offers a set of tests to practice your speed and accuracy. You can check it out here. https://www.transcriptioncertificationinstitute.org/transcription-practice-test If that does not help that consider taking a course and get the certification. This would definitely help you in building your resume and stand out among others.

What is a timestamp? Under what circumstances do we set it? How is it set? Can I have examples of such situations?
Comment:
Time Stamps are very important to understand if you plan to do transcription. It is a mark in the transcript that notates the specific time in the audio. People request time stamps so that they can easily match up parts of the transcript and the audio. The TCI course explains time stamps in great detail, shows examples, and explains exactly how to insert them into transcripts, so take our course to learn more about time stamps and many other aspects of transcription. https://www.transcriptioncertificationinstitute.org/course-guide
