Re: Getting into Transcription

Re: Getting into Transcription Hi Guys,I've been doing transcription off and on for probably a couple of years now, and one thing I will say is that you want to really watch the grammar. Some sites, most of them in fact, are quite picky about that, so if you try this make sure to read
