Meanwhile, I'm trying out some other transcription sites... discovered some that are good for beginners like myself that is constantly faced with poor punctuation, grammar structure, and the likes.

YouTube is really resourceful..!

That's the screen shot.. I tried resetting my password after I was unable to login with my main password.
My advice will be for you to ditch this account and open a fresh one. You are prolly logging in with another internet connection or another device. Or you did it without the LS or SA link at some point. Or do you have funds in the account?

How can I do that please? I'm using chrome. Please tell me. I want to learn how to download it with chrome. Thanks

To get/extract audio from sites that have some form of audio embedded such as on our transcription site, first open the job an click on next statement once then you do CTRL+SHIFT+I on Chrome on PC to open Inspect elements, then click on F5 to refresh page then go to Media under Network to see what is happening. You should see one two or more audio files there. Right click on the largest one and open in new tab, it will either open in new tab or start downloading. Once done open the audio file with VLC or some other strong audio software because the file will not be in a recognizable format for the baby audio software.

For those of us that want to run the clips on Otter or some other AI software. Please, please and please, delete after its transcribed and do not share. Remember that you signed a confidentiality agreement and any leaks can be traced back to you. Interpol and SARS no be mate.

Like he said, ditch. Open a fresh one with another email. Make sure you follow the instructions from the pdf file. Use Lesotho.

I just submitted my first call today, was told to wait while they review it #fingers-crossed#.

@hausadreturn i noticed i didnt use the paypal link i registered with (south-africa), just paypal.com and after inputing my login details i was taken to my actual paypal account the one i registered with SA, am posting this to know if theres any implication cus i saw several warnings on this thread that one is to login with the same acct. he/she registered with.

Also are there tips like apps that'll help one have a better hearing(in terms of accents) the voice recording of the calls??

Finally what's the meaning of the space bar that appears on the top right of the harvest(where the typing is done)??
1st question = [...].
2nd question = No apps. It takes time and constant practice. It's not rocket science.
3rd question = space bar? I'm not sure I understand you o.

Am interested to know this too...

But, right now, am sticking with the sites that pay through PP.

A lot of interesting calls tonight, though. Who else noticed?

It's been worth it. Especially for long audios with a lot of missing audio in between the timestamps. Using Esc does not produce as clean an audio as if you have the full clip

Both works. I've used phone in the past, and it worked. But I wasn't comfy with it. I use a laptop. I can't use phone any more.

QA recommends a laptop.
Yet, we've got people here that using a phone works well for them.
Your choice.

I've been trying to use my phone on QA but I don't always see a column to type my transcripts. I use Google Chrome. I cleared my cache and I cleared my browser's history before taking on a job which I later released because of the problem. Screenshot attached..
What may be the problem?

In that place you saw "Rep", is where you'll type.
Put your cursor immediately after REP.
