Nice. Any tips on how to scale through that test, been try it 4 weeks

Understand the guideline or you'll have to run in circles forever. Even the Transcription test requires that you understand their guideline. You can watch YouTube videos also.
Major tip, run the audio file through Otter, paste it in the editor and edit according to their rules. Ensure your punctuation is tip top.
I had to eliminate inaudibles from what seemed like impossible sections.
Google phrase, names, location etc.

If you fall the audio test, you can always try again after a few days.

samsard:
Read the guideline (their FAQ). I actually failed the test part severally before taking a break and checking properly.
You have to digest their guideline before passing the quiz test and even the audio Transcription test.
Watch YouTube videos and you'll get SOME, but you have to understand it else you'd waste a lot of effort.

The quiz is easy. It's the audio test that is a bit tasking. That's because they have some extra rules, when it comes to their transcripts. And the test I saw was long o. Almost 4 minutes.

They shuffle the questions every 24 hours. I happened to have had an extremely tricky one for the first 24 hours. The ones on YouTube were easy. The rules are not really hard if you take it seriously.

Very true. I'll take on that their test when I'm settled. Payoneer payment is the motivating factor.

. Thanks i actually did all these but still couldnt figure it out for example what do you think is the answer to this.
If there is a sentence, “Last month, I went to Warsaw, the capital of Poland’’ but a speaker pronounces it as Varshav, how will you transcribe the name of the capital?

You use the proper spelling, it's even stated in their guideline.

Greatihex:
sorry, if you thought it that way. I was just trying to state the fact.

The funding circle calls can really be a pain in the ass. The pay for their calls is always higher than others.

My apologies. Even as I typed that I considered you probably mean it that way. But this is Nairaland after all.

Hey, I just got accepted into GoT yesterday. Care to share some tips? The pay is better but the audios are usually fragmented into 10 minute files.

To be honest, even though I passed the test several months ago, I've only done a single job. Transcription is something I hoped I'd simply do on the side for a little extra cash but it takes a lot of time to earn anything meaningful.
The site is quite easy to navigate and you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. Make sure you read the Guidelines religiously several times and follow it at all times. The editors are very strict. Try to stick to an average rating of 4 to 4.5 if you can. If you pick a work and start and then notice it will prove more difficult that you thought, drop it as soon as you can to avoid punishment for delays.

That is the pronunciation. Spell as Warsaw. You don't spell "knife" as "nife" because it's the correct pronunciation.

I see u Sir. GT is better than these Philippines company Wahala. Just that getting on GT platform is the hard thing. It's much easier compared to QA. All these their release token rules sef is the worst part of it. All these third world company must sha show themselves. Kudos to all the guys doing over 400 minutes on QA, I guess u guys should try gt, becoming an editor in a short while will be easy if u put in same quality and effort

Does GT has abundant calls like QA. Somebody can make $10 a day in QA because there are always calls to pick, is that same in GT?

Transcription is not an easy task, but it brings some pocket money

Wait ooo, these 1min, 2mins calls still dey on ground. What's happening I don't understand.

Is it even true that one can transcribe a 1hour call with 3-4hours

not only that. I just checked their guidelines and I found out that extra tools like otter and grammarly is highly needed to be able to do a good job.
Also, looking from the guidelines, doing the job will pretty be more demanding and time consuming compared to QAWorld that has made things easy with their platform.

QA is lenient and not that demanding, I think that's why their pay is relatively low but even at that, one can still make 60k, 80k, 100k and above. Someone doesn't need to have the skill of a transcriptionist to be making money there. Just know basic grammar, punctuation rules, and active listening.

Yes, depends on audio quality and editing/typing speed.

True. Imagine having to type speaker labels, time stamps and the whole audio (if not using a transcription app).

In fact, in QAWorld, the main thing that usually gets someone fail to pass a transcript is, altered content. With punctuation, capitalization, sentence errors, one can still get a passing mark as long he/she follows the easy FAQ formats.

samsard:

Mehn, I don't think I can even move close to that level with these QA-world kinda calls.
