Maybe my maths is rusty. But this does look like the pay per minute is underwhelming inferior to QA's.

Thanks to everyone on here, although I came a bit late to the party. I have worked on the site for a month and I got almost $40, this past month. I have been held back by data, my system and light. One account down, the second one almost gone. I hope to do better, this month. I sincerely thank Samsard, Drawnobet, Generationz, Nwafresh and others numerous to mention.

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.

Congrats bro.

How do you speed up your transcriptions? Transcribing 32 minutes audio would probably take you how many hours? 10 hours?

My issue is Paypal. I'm afraid to sign up to any site with it like this one, and start receiving funds. Then booooom, they will raise red flag. Those PP can be unfortunate.

I use a UAE PayPal account with a strong Premium HMA VPN and i have been using it on various sites since last year. It's those South Africa PayPal account that I'm scared of using. If u wish, i can create a good UAE PayPal account and give you Premium paid HMA that u can be using for the PayPal for a token of N2,500 and i can assure you 100% , you can't have any issue with the account for the next one year.

It seems you are always getting long calls? Do they just appear on queue when you log in? Or what?

The beta transcription page is available to random 10% of the transcription team. Not everyone has it. Those who got lucky, feel free to DM me your feedback and comments. Thank you and Happy Transcribing!

That was what Arlen sent on slack.

I think it's a new interface that they're working on at the moment. They only made it available for just 10% of transcribers in order to get feedback before everyone can start working on it.

Wow that's impressive.

How do you speed up things? I am thinking of purchasing an external microphone so I could use google voice to speed up things, but idk. What do you use?

Also, I passed the exams July and never went any further. Logged in some minutes ago and they are demanding I re-take the test again.

Yeah. New upgrades everyday.
I don't speed things, though. I actually slow the speech by three points. I just listen to the convo and type really fast. cool
