Yes, this is realistic. It takes me one hour or a little less to get done with a 10 mins call, but 30 mins... That na lie. Except you mean without editing it.
Actually for one-hour audio, fatique will set in. It is very much possible for 10 minutes file. Some people type over 100 words per minute, slower for transcription but you get the gist. I have never benchmarked myself, though. But I know I usually complete long files in less than half time with lazying around.

Bro, unlike PayPal that we had to follow that PDF for Lesotho or SA. should I just go to payoneer site and just follow the instructions dia?
Yeah, sure.

Big BUT. It takes a military attitude to even attempt those.

11. Ratings can be challenged on GT and upgraded on by admin if you actually have genuine reason. It can be as good as moving from 2 rating to 5. Some editors just have bad days and decide to take it out on transcribers

12. GT offers Payoneer as a payment method.

13. You get paid for all calls rated on GT even if your score was 2, but a penalty will be deducted which can even be up to 70% of what u earned on that call if you actually had too many errors.


PayPal do charge $5 for any withdrawal, what about payoneer?

I can't say for sure, though. Just Google it.

in addition, you need to earn up to $50 to withdraw to Payoneer, withdrawal is not auto like PayPal, you would have to chat admin with your email every time I want to withdraw to Payoneer. And you have to be ready to initiate your withdrawal few minutes after the weekly rated payments have cleared which happens every 1am on Fridays.

Now as per comparing the two platforms, these are my observations.
Similarities of both platforms
1. Both platforms pay low, GT just almost insignificantly higher.
2. Both pay on 'thursdays' slight differences based on their locations.
3. Flexibility in choosing when to work.
4. Rating system is 1 to 5
5. PayPal can be used as a firm of receiving monies earned
6. Both usually have enough calls if you are dedicated
7. Both use speaker labels, QA speaker labels are easier and constant, while GTs can be very diverse and wrong tagging can cost low ratings.
8. Both have transcription tools, most well established transcription companies do.
9. There are lenient and strict QAs or editors.
10. There are more and easier jobs in the middle of the night/early mornings.

Differences
1. GT trains you better to get external jobs, cos u would be a better transcriber. If I can consistently maintain a rating of around 4.3 to 4.6, your private clients will stick with you cos of your quality.
2. It's easier to earn on QA compared to GT, provided you master QA transcription platform properly.
3. It's easier to assimilate GT training and rules initially, but there a are a lot more to learn when you start.
4. QA deals only with calls, while GT does all kinds of transcription.
5. There is format specifications on GT, i.e full verbatim, clean verbatim, speaker change timestamps, or time interval timestamps.
6. Review of your work on QA is faster as it may take hours to even 5 days for your work to be rated on GT. Editors on GT usually run from bad files too just as transcribers.
7. GT transcription tool can be used for non-GT calls, and it's one of the easiest way to transcribe if its use is understood.
8. QA calls text are pre-transcribed by their platform, while GT does not. U can even get all the transcripts for a QA call by extracting the source file.
9. QA entry test will be like a child's play to pass for a regular GT transcriber. GT transcriber test is harder to pass.
10. You can easily earn more on GT by becoming an editor (QA) after achieving a minimum of 4.5 rating over 400 minutes of calls in a 60 day window period.

Will share more as I remember. Thanks.
Please is there a redo option on GoT?

Yeah, there are some dynamics to it, bro. If you're going to work and edit a 10 mins call, for instance, it means you are going to have to listen to the call twice. That's 20 mins already. So, is he trying 2 tell me that he uses just 10 mins to type and make all the necessary corrections? D guy no think hin lie well. Let's be realistic.

Lol... No carry my matter for head like gala na. I'm not here to brag. When I say I finish a 10 minutes call within 30 minutes, whether you believe it or not, that's your biz bro. It's what I've been doing since mid-last year, not today. I'm not here to reveal my skills to you. Hear this "when you do something, derive means which will make it easier".

Bro, calm down. If 400 mins is the proof, then you suppose dey yaba left. Maybe u think say na newbie u dey 4llow talk. I no dey work on Mondays, and I still dey reach 400 mins with ease. I spend about one hour on a 10 mins call, so, oga, if you use 30 mins for a 10 mins call, you suppose dey reach 1000 mins a week. D math simple.

Hi guys. I know Africard do not allow withdrawal for now. But this is what I am seeing when I click withdraw on my PayPal account.

Then after clicking on lift limit, it took me to the page in the second image. Does this mean my account is limited?
And if yes, can I transfer fund from the PayPal account to another PayPal?

No biggie

At one point or the other it has happened even to the top guns here. Just get a new email and start all over.

TBH even QA will be disappointed if you just packed up and disappeared.
the same thing happened to me while I was working on a 19 minutes call.
I have already opened a new one, but what is annoying me now is that what I got this time is the old QA platform that don't load the whole audio at once.
The thing is pissing me off. I like to continously play the audio, that is the only way I can work.


Guys, is there anyway I can get the audio to play continously?

Lolz. How can you allow yourself to be sacked. I run 3 accounts on three seperare browsers kiwi, chrome n opera. I dont joke with my bronze account.The ratings never goes below 3.8. That one na for clear calls. I can do anyhow with the other accounts. All na strategy
wow. seems like this is what I will do now, so that I can see if I will get the beta version of the platform.


Wait, do you have 3 separate PayPal account, or did you inform them that you want to be sharing PayPal account with someone?

Bro, it's not a matter of the leaderboard; it's a matter of what you said. You said you complete a 10-minute call in 30 minutes. I complete a 10-minute call in just over one hour, which I believe is tenderfigure's range. Now, let's do a simple calculation; you did mathematics in school, right? If you complete a 10-minute call in 30 minutes, then you'll need only 5 hours to get to 100 minutes in a day. Let's add four hours to that in case of other things that'll take your time. Going by this calculation and your "incredible speed", you should be hitting 400 minutes with ease in just four days and over 600 minutes in a week. However, the screenshot you posted here, which is obviously your best, shows just 400 minutes in a week. This means that your incredible fast ass is slower than tenderfigure's humble fingers, which is definitely very well over an hour. If you wan lie, make e get logical backing. No just come here dey throwey lie when e no dey put money for your Africard. Post a screenshot of 600 minutes, and it'll tally with the speed you claim to have. 400 minutes is achievable even without working on a Monday. If you still don't get the simple mathematics, then I guess my question has been answered: you no do maths for school.

Thanks for the reply, but I already linked my Africard and even use it to withdraw before. What else could have happened
if I add a new email to my PayPal account for my new QA account, will I still receive my payment from the former email that QAWorld still has for my sacked account? Please, someone should help answer me this, so that I will know if I should still work this night or wait until after receiving my payment from the other email before I start work.

It's 100% possible bro, provided the call is clear.
yeah, very possible. All these Square, Penn Foster, ISSA etc calls can be done fast.

At my level, I can do a clear 10 minutes call in 1 hour at most.

Lol.. I've said it before and I'll say it again, 10 minutes call takes me 30 minutes. I know how I do transcribe + the skills I do use. I don't work on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays. I'm not bragging, but believe it or not, I don't give 2 f**ks. You can do us a favour by channeling that your energy to Arlen for another payment method.
