100 minutes per day will give you 700 minutes per week.
7 x $20 = 140dollars plus bonus


You can save up from your earnings and buy a solar , lithium battery, and inverter.

Everything won't cost more than 80k.

You will never bother about electricity again.

Same here, it seems some of us will never . This PayPal thing has been frustrating me since last week, always getting these error messages when I try to sign up. Have used glo, mtn, airtel, android phone, laptop... name it..it's annoying. Is there no other link apart from the SA? I'v been complaining on this thread and trying everyday but nothing is working. Can someone pleased help sign up for me?

Okay so we know your PayPal email. Delete that screenshot bros so that nothing will happen to your hard earned funds. Or better still use a darker coloured shade to conceal the email.

To sign up, it's best to use a fresh install of internet explorer/ Microsoft edge on PC. Meaning that cookies and browser history have been cleaned before starting the process. Then secondly, some networks give ish when connecting with these payment sites. You can back read here to get their names. Lastly, the connection has to be stable and fast and do not restart your router, or switch off your internet and switch it back on during the process. This is the tested solution to that annoying 'Something went wrong' message. If it doesn't work, try at a later time

At the last page of the FAQ. You'll see "Sample Transcripts".


I just went through the sample transcripts.

One thing I was particular about was the use of but.

I noticed it was used many times after a full stop.
I used to think that was wrong and could earn one a low rating. It's improper in normal sentence construction.

What do you think?

Just type "lifepo4" in the search bar for nairaland.


You'll see people who sell it.

That's the name of the battery. Not more than 30k.

Easier said than done.

Are you indirectly trying to market a product?

If you follow their format, they won't mark you down.

they mark me down for following their format in long statements. That was what dropped me from steady 5s, experimenting.
For punctuation, they prefer we keep it basic, very basic. I've gotten warnings for colons, semi colons and putting stuff in brackets. I must say though that I abused it.

If you read the direction for creating a PayPal gotten from the link posted at the beginning of this thread, you will notice where it says to use the "individual" type of business . If you use "Sole proprietorship" or any other type, that's when you have to deal with postal code. Try it now.

Exactly what I did and was rated 1 ( one missing timestamp by the way). Escalated it but the lady was telling me something else.

The only work I did without error but with that missing timestamp. She said that when such occurs, you should press the ESC up to (or more than) 50 times. That it will definitely load.

The whole thing is discouraging especially with the whole rating of a thing. Just took few days to study the FAQ but still encountering issues on the transcription job.

For those having challenges with missiing audio and time stamp, I believe one of us suggested here way back through the thread that you can load all the audio and perhaps if you press the control + shift + I button. But make sure you delete the audio after transcribing them, you signed a confidential agreement.

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 ing. 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. that you signed a confidentiality agreement and any leaks can be traced back to you. Interpol and SARS no be mate.
This is the full details.
