    Just do 10 random Transcribe This HITs you can catch. That's about all you need to slog through to know if you're masochistic enough for transcription on mturk :emoji_joy:

    Haha, this is probably as fair an assessment of me as my assessment of him. Everyone is a villain to someone :dunno:

    especially because they like to reject arbitrarily... the anxiety really prepares you for picky clients

    Every so often you'll see some individual academic put up a ~1-2 hour transcription for ~$80-100, usually of a discussion or some seminar. I mean, it's still kinda poor pay, especially depending on audio quality, but it blows away 99% of all other mturk transcription work.

    or that time someone put up a business meeting discussing the budweiser superbowl commercial, and their 3 and 5 year business plans for ads, months before the superbowl... because that couldn't have ended badly or anything.

    i transcribed the meeting that resulted in this:

    Thanks, the reason I thought of this - ran into unpaid survey junk and started thinking out loud. Also, Penny Hoarder sent info on a transcription job. Got to pass a background check and have a new Librety(sp) footpedal. It's transcribing for the police in the USA.

    Real transcriptionist jobs can pay really well, especially if they are also based on other skills (e.g. medical transcription). Most of these online/work-from-home jobbers are criminal.

    Because people aren't smart enough to look at reviews before doing batches.
