CONTEXT. Someone explained it up there. You have to Google A LOT else you'd suffer with 1s & 2s. Also check the glossary.
You most likely won't understand everything at once, but as you proceed you'll get the context properly.
Exactly. What I did is, anywhere that's giving me headache, I put the [...] and continue with the rest. It doesn't matter how many [...] I insert.
So after everything, the voice of the customer and REP would become familiar in your brain and when going back, those inaudibles will b clear.
Sometimes they would repeat the same thing you put the inaudibles and make the corrections.

Qa jobs are meant to be done with laptop. If you are using phone (like myself) you'll have to use some techniques in order to complete your jobs. It's something you'll have to develop on your own in other to earn. I'm using Chrome for the job. If you still think you can't use phone, then try a laptop. But If I was able to transcribe over 200 minutes with my phone and earn bonus of $5, then you can as well do it with a phone.. Peace.
Explain some of the techniques please because I will eventually want to use phone.. Thanks

I mean FC UK

FC is America
Clh is Australia

FC UK and CH are the ones with accent.

But if you're lucky to jam HL or SR, then you're good to go.

I only release the once that have heavy accent or the audio is not clear.

.But, is it not obvious that, that voice that says something like : Yeah, hi. I am Zack from ..., the Rep.The first voice, was making a complaint. But, the rating note is reflecting 'Reverse Customer vs Rep. ' I am flabbergasted.

you don't need to worry about the gtp stuff. it's just the web portal to look at transactions
