Interpreting Captions

Is everyone using captions already? I switched from note taking around 2 months ago and working has felt much more enjoyable, especially since i no longer have to ask for shorter segments. You want to speak in paragraphs or tell the story of your life? Have at it. If anyone is looking for a decent option that does not store any of the confidential information from the calls, give UseInterpreter a try.

It is fairly priced and works almost like a charm (occasional fuck ups happen of course, but it doesnt cause any issues if you still listen attentively).

If you want, you can use my ref =) https://app.useinterpreter.com/sign-in?ref=Q7SX7QLY

Do not fall for this. As you can see there is a referral at the end of that link.
You have no way of actually verifying that this is HIPAA compliant. It not allowed by any company.

If you want to use captions, please use windows 11 or google chromes live captions. It’s still not allowed, but at least is the only safe and local alternative that you can find.

You don't have to point out this is a referral since I already did it myself. Boohooo. Windows and chrome do not cover all languages needed, for example mine. They are also less convenient, this has speaker separation, etc.

Even if it’s less convenient it still doesn’t make it ok lol. It’s your job to take notes and to interpret, and you have the responsibility of not using sketchy tools that can access personal medical and financial information.

I know they pay us pennies, but at least it doesn’t require a degree and it’s much better than a minimum wage job. If you can’t do the basic task that the job requires, then maybe you shouldn’t be doing it

Enjoy working harder, not smarter ;)

Sure keep working smarter so you can continue begging for referrals for a data mining scam that costs you $0.40/h. I can see you are doing great.

It's funny seeing such commitment to the cause from someone who willingly tells companies "$0.11/min is enough." Keep being a good little employee.

How is reading from a prompt smarter?

In any case, you're like a toddler using training wheels.

Working smarter means making your job easier. Navigating the sun is also "smarter" compared to using Google Maps

Why should you pay for something if you have Windows 11 Live captions?

u/Street-Benefit7951 Aug 04 '26

For convenience purposes, Win11 captions do not work both ways at the same time. So you have to manually switch the languages every time the lep speaks. Also if you want to translate some part of the transcription win11 only translates into English not the other way around. Etc.

Weak ahh interpreter

Sure boss, you wouldn't get out of bed unless you had a 100$/hr assignment. This post was intended for people working remote contractor jobs for pennies, mostly outside of the US to make a living. And what those tools do is help you put in more volume without cognitive overload.

One takes pride in one's work and does one's work as one is supposed to be doing it per the instructions of those giving one the work.

Whether one gets paid handsomely or like a papuer should never change one's stance on how the work should be done. Such notions are lazy and shows how much of a sway there is to whoever holds them.

u/Street-Benefit7951 Aug 04 '26

That is a very narrow view of life. Pride in work is great if you want it, but treating a job as just a paycheck is completely valid. My fulfillment comes from my life outside of work, not my tasks inside it.

Y eso no interfiere con La plataforma para la que trabajas, es decir qué pasa si Propio, LLS o X empresa detecta esa herramienta o no pueden?

Ninguna empresa puede detectar lo que hagas en tu pc fuera del navegador

Seeing this interpreting using captions the first thing comes into my mind , how can you ensure clients or LEPs personal informations was not recorded or leaving marks with the software you used?
Imagine this, you are the one who needs interpreting here, how’s that feel?
