I suggest you take down the screenshot though.
TBH, suspicion of fraud and money laundry is more likely the reason Africard was blocked. No serious person collects fraudulent money and withdraws to bank from PayPal. That is highly traceable. From an exchange I saw on Twitter between UBA Ghana and a tweep, it seems UBA was getting alarmed by the money coming in. Because seriously there's a lot of Nigerians making money online legitimately. India has a lot more frausters than Nigeria can dream of and yet they have PayPal fully available. Nigeria just doesn't have regulations that allow for some things.
Once again, India has a lot more fraudsters than Nigeria can dream of.

Indians, Pinoys, dm bad pass Naija for fraud.

Next time, just logout your account. Close your browser. Wait like 1 hour. It would definitely clear. It's way faster than waiting for the call to expire.

You don't even need to log out. Just close the browser for about an hour, QA will come and carry their call by their self.

Hi guys. So I read the first 10 pages of this thread and decided to register at QA and take their test. I passed and I'm at the training stage. Joined Slack too. Something discouraging I've noticed though is the very low rate of payment. I signed up because it says on the site that pay is $0.2 an audio minute. That's low, to begin with, but I decided to sign up anyway to have it as a backup to another site I'm on.
So you can imagine my surprise when I checked the site and the actual pay is significantly lower. Is this the norm?

At the bolded. PLEASE SHARE THE SITE NAME.

if you are that good you can go for the funding circle calls. The pay is higher than others and also comes with bonuses.
If I am that good? I don't get. Did I say anything about my skill level?

GoTranscript. The pay isn't so much better but it is better. $2.33 for 10 minutes is the base pay but it can rise to over $3 depending on how much time is remaining for an audio file to get transcribed.

no be small terrible audio o.
Did 4 last night and got ratings of, 1, 2 and 3. One is yet to be rated.

The ones I did, I thought they were clear enough, but I was marked down for misheard/altered content.
As in ehn. Imagine having a 3 in a 0.9 minutes call. 0.9 minutes!! At least it's better now, u fit see beta call pick now. If they were normal calls, the queue would have been long gone by now.

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.

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

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.

Are you the creator of the thread? You petty schlep. I ask again, does insulting them make you feel sensible? Freaking unfortunate bozo. I no won derail the thread further. If not, I would have come down to your level and engage you further, and maybe question the intelligence of those who raised you, since you assume everyone here is your mate. Cretinous fool.

Imagine getting a call rated 2 and then having to be sent a supposed passing transcript rated 3 with exactly the same thing I did.


Do we still need to pray for happy raters to come our way?

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.
