No, bbprof, it is not an Indian company as the language combination was, in my case, FR>EN, as mentioned by others too. And if it is the same company, it sent a 'test' which consisted of m

Complimenti per aver risolto il problema così facilmente Tom. Auguro a tanti altri di fare lo stesso, un passo così semplice ma effettivo, complimenti.
I received the results of the survey. I had forgotten about it. Well done! Very good work, and very extensive too. I liked many things, but the comment about the pilot brought a smile and
Hello, what immediately springs to mind is the quality of the audio. Have you taken that into consideration? There are agencies that send you the text as you said, via Word document, but t

Sorry, I did not realise you were referring to 'their' own online CAT toll-my mistake. That makes a lot of difference. If it is proving so troublesome, you are perfectly entitled-and we
I don't think the fact that they require a CAT tool should be considered when stating a rate; logging in and invoicing certainly do, as well as the fact that they accept a decent rate, pay

So are these rates better than the ones quoted? Sorry but I can only see the last 10 posts.
These are the rates:
