Why should scopists get extra for a video depo? - CSRNation2024-03-29T11:52:21Zhttps://csrnation.ning.com/forum/topics/why-should-scopists-get-extra-for-a-video-depo?commentId=1736041%3AComment%3A1291133&x=1&feed=yes&xn_auth=noIf I get paid more, I pay the…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2014-01-29:1736041:Comment:12911332014-01-29T14:48:09.461ZSandyhttps://csrnation.ning.com/profile/SandyW
<p>If I get paid more, I pay the scopist more. By the same token, I expect them to work with me on price when I'm not being paid more. </p>
<p>I tend to cut them some slack when it comes to scoping videos. We hear while editing. They read while editing. I expect them to miss some things.... not a lot of things, but some. </p>

<p>Judy, in this scenario I'm talking about, the reporter I'm talking about never even listened to the audio and left out a ton of stuff. That's not the office's responsibility to add all those false starts and words that are left out. That is definitely the reporter's responsibility.</p>

<p>Yes, I think they just go through editing/scoping too fast, not paying close enough attention. Or don't even listen to every word. I've seen good proofreaders miss too much because they are reading too fast.</p>

<p>Been scoping 35 plus years. I can tell you that when you listen to audio, you WILL miss little words that you would otherwise catch. It has nothing to do with rushing through. I make more mistakes when using audio by far than when I don't use audio. Every scopist I've ever spoken with says the same thing. </p>

<p>Well, if I find out about any reporter doing that to a scopist from this website, they're out of here. I won't tolerate that. It's difficult to screen everyone here on my own. When I find out there's an issue, I take care of it.</p>

<p>Scopists are like reporters in one very important aspect: Both need a clientele in order to pay their bills. Asking for that W-9 makes a lot of sense if you've landed on a bad apple in the barrel.</p>
<p>I have personal experience with one reporter, though, who hops from scopist to scopist, never paying any of them. I insisted on a small job as the first one, so I wasn't out much money. This was several years ago. Live and learn.</p>

<p>I'm beginning to think an important question to ask is: Where were you trained? Who trained you? We may actually find we don't like the answer, though.<br/><br/>I agree: references, references, references! And if they can't/won't give them to you, pass.<br/><br/>Another thing that will show if they're hoping for a long-term client or just a one-shot paycheck, ask them for their W-9 BEFORE they do any work for you. If they balk, pass.</p>
