Don't download the audios, it's against the rules and they'll keep track of your account quietly!
We churn out hundreds of minutes without passing through that .
Plus those recordings contain personal information, taking it to another platform is violating a privacy policy

Anyways, I have an experience to share. I planned on sharing this just after receipt of last week's pay, to be sure.
So, late Saturday night, I picked a 44min long call. Excited it was good call, I started transcribing.
After the 500th timestamp, the audio won't load. I ran to slack immediately. And as usually, they blamed it on my network. While I was trying to sort this with them, I opened an incognito page and started the job afresh there. At this time, I had 6hrs left to submit the job.
TL said the call had expired on me, my network was bad, and all sorts. I left her and simply did copy and paste.
Then, I got to the 542nd timestamp and the audio stopped loading. I ran back to slack, this time, I was really pissed! An SCC came to help, she too could not load beyond 500.
TL asked for screenshots, screen recording just to prove the call was still available to me, since she claimed someone else was working on the same call. I provided her with all she requested and waited. She said, I shouldn't bother continuing the job till they're able to figure out what the ish was.
30mins later, she call me, conducted another round of interview and hung up. But, before she hung up, she assured me I'd be paid for the length of time I'd worked on the call. But, it would be done manually, since I didn't get to complete and submit the call. Later, she apologized to me, that it was actually my email that was working on the call. So, it was a system glitch on their part.
I was elated! And decided to share, but only after I'd received the payment and confirmed I was paid for the 32+ mins I'd worked on that call. Through the night!

So, I'm sharing this because, we have this notion that they favor Philipinos more. While that may be true, if you do you due diligence, you just might be able to hold your own.

They know you're downloading those. If you plan to last without issues, transcribe like everyone does.
It's not impossible and they've made the platform a lot easier to use than it was months back when some of started.

That's even the MAIN issue. I know how much personal information I've come across and it's wrong to take those audios off Qaworld

Did you not read this?
SUPERPACK:
before you pick any call do a fast calculation to be sure. Use the ratio 3:1, this translates to 3mins call is equal to 1-hour call turn around time. so let say you pick a 15mins call, it should be 15/3=5hours. anything more than 5hours simply means it is an FC..UK or CLH call.

And this
samsard:
Regular 10 minute call is allowed a turnaround time of about 3 hours 20 minutes.
15 minutes call has an allowed time of 5 hours, 1:3.
But for the difficult calls, you have about 7 hours to complete a 10 minute call, of course it doesn't take that long to actually complete it but that's an incentive to get people to take their time on those because you'll have no AI transcript or a half useless AI transcript.
Just make sure you're working withun the guidelines.


That's all the info you need. What's left is, how fast you are in your calculations, because of the "clicking fest." grin grin
Kai! @samsard be dropping dope lines time and again!

If u use a laptop or phone, download the auto-reload page extension for chrome, set the reload timer to "2 Seconds" and you will be able to pick as many as possible. You can also download an auto-link clicker or auto-bot if you use a laptop to automate call picking.
.
With the 1st option above I do exhaust my daily tokens, but only work on few of them due to Call Preference reasons.

If you haven't released it and you still want to, you can pass the call to me. Only if the audio is clean.
