Most likely you are not seeing the whole window, you can scroll down a bit. and reveal the options and “vote” button.

Evelyn (#15) We have all wished for that. I’m sorry you got no response on the board, could you re-post your question, and we’ll see. (Tell us what projects you’re working, and ask some specific questions). Also, re-read the field helps and check the wiki pages for the projects you’re working on. That often helps.

What am I missing?

The last time I tried the message board I received no answer. I know I could do a better job with a little help.

On Clear typewritten or typeset records. Over a long series of records, it becomes very, very hard.

Handwriting: no. Those top out around 97. If you get nice writing.

All arbitrators have been keyers; it’s just how it works.

Jmstott: “good” depends on what you’re doing. 92 may be a great score on some projects, not so much on others.

Joan: the JP issue is not statistically an accuracy killer. It’s worth maybe 1/4 percentage point. JP’s being rareish.

Now Missing Stuff, getting street names wrong…that’s a killer.

But then the drop down in suffix is J P. So that is correct.

I have a habit of keying JP, and have to correct myself continually. It also comes down to the arbitrator. I have noticed that many arbitrators are not keyers.

Would love to know if 100% accuracy is achievable.

There have been a lot of “Justices of the Peace” in items I have arbitrated lately. A lot of people type “JP”, an equal number type “J P”, and a very few still type “J. P.” The computer insists that the arbitrator choose one of those as correct, the others wrong ….. so one of the keyers is going to have a reduced accuracy rating even though no mistake was made. There are more examples of those kinds of “mistakes”, I believe 100% accuracy is not possible with the amount of instructions we have.

If you can keep that up after just one month, it took me many months to get to your level.

Remember that this only reflects the set that went to arbitration. Sets that match are not arbitrated.

Or what a “good” accuracy rate is considered? I started doing this about a month ago, and I have a 92% rating, which I am assuming is an OK rate, but maybe not fantastic.

I would like to know where I stand
