lol. I thought they say it's too difficult
It depends on your own test. The one I did was not that difficult but the difficult part was the names which were not English. Different pronunciation and different name.

If you can handle multiple speaker files and the more challenging files, right now they have been boosted to $5 for 10 minutes.
The highest I've seen is $4 for 5 minutes and about 7-8 dollars for 10 minutes for konk British accent.
But the basic payment is $2.33 or thereabouts.
The good thing is a $2.33 file can be boosted to $5 if people ignore them long enough. If you maintain at least 4.5 rating and pass the editor test, you can earn a lot more with less effort

I'm beginning to suspect that some of these rater smoke weed.

Can someone explain this to me?
This is supposed to be a passing transcript for a failed transcript and yet it has more errors and misheard.

Funny thing is, both were rated by the same rater.

Just review a site and earn $10 than running after audio files with too many error to earn peanut.

I think site testing is more relaxing than transcribing errors.

Things needed

- Sound headphone

- Sound Internet connection

- Sound Laptop grin

Den you are good to go...

Payment: PayPal

Questions.

1. How long have you been doing this +how much can one make a day?
2. What's your max cash out?
3. Is it a legit site which won't trigger PayPal limiting of account?
4. What's the name of the site and can Mobile phone access it?

Site testing money is also peanuts in some view.
I know people that make serious money with much less effort and still complain about stress. It is human nature.
Most good paying gigs aren't as easy to start of on, some are geography locked meaning it's restricted to certain nationalities.
I think we're well aware of the fact that some Transcription sites pay a lot more. Catch 22, those are only available to US and Canada.
Anyway, no Serious person will put their eggs in one basket, especially not on the internet.
You can now answer the series of questions you've been asked.

I didn't. But I don't think that makes much of a difference. The Koko is the main audio
Re: Self Employment Opportunity: Transcribing For A Living In Nigeria Part 1 by ayipo247(m): 6:13pm On Apr 04, 2020
Oh. Thanks a lot Samsard. Questions:

1. How many days does it take to get the feedback/result after the test. Or is it also instant like QA World?

2. Is there a way to get the answer to the test online like QA World?

Sometimes after a day, or a about a week like my second successful attempt. But their general timeline is up to sixty days. If you don't get a response, log back to the test port and if you're able to take the test again, then it means you failed

When writing the test, is it required to put timestamp (even if it's just one speaker)? I would like to connect to you, if you don't mind. Can I email you?
