egolicious:
please how can I gain access to go-transcript, I have done their test time without number with their guidelines closely, and I know I am very correct. but till now notin, please

take at least two of the practice tests before trying again and master the use of their tool.

Yea, I figured. But...

I just saw a 10 minute British call for $7 USD

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.

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.

No, you can order their card after you've received $30 in payments or simply withdraw to your bank account directly.

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.

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.

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
