    Just a quick question, are you able to download Claritrans audio clips? I know they are short audio clips, but I'm trying to get the ropes down on Express Scribe and I figured doing some Claritrans HIT's would be efficient in doing so rather than just jumping into CastingWords, however I can't find a download link anywhere. Is it even possible to download the file? If not... should I just try to do some CastingWords? Not sure if they are right for me. I've got a pretty crappy attention span, and I'm not the most patient guy in the world, but I'm looking to completely expand the income I get off Mturk. I'm also quite inexperienced as well, I've only been turking for 9 days, but I've managed to make 85 dollars, and got 30 dollars pending, so that's a start! Any thoughts?

    There's a line above the player that says: If you cannot install the audio player click here to download the audio.

    If you right click the "here" and click "save link as" you'll be able to pull the file into Express Scribe.

    Also, good job on your nine day total. :)

    Oh, right. Duh. Can't believe I forgot how to do that, but now it appears I've run into an entire new problem. I'm able to download the file, but once it completely downloads the file just says "interrupted" and it doesn't exist in the location I saved it to. Any ideas how to fix this, or is just my computer bugging out? I'm able to download CW's HITs

    Their instructions are wrong. If you click the link where it says to go there to download it doesn't work.

    If you right click on the area where you would play the audio in the HIT you can do "save video as" (I think that's what it said) and save it to a folder where you can retrieve it through Express Scribe.

    Do you have the PRO version of QuickTime installed on your computer?

    When I right click the area where I would play the audio, I get this:

    Did you right click in all the areas of that box? I get a completely different list that doesn't say anything about QuickTime. I just have QuickTime version 7. But I do have Express Scribe installed so I don't know if that helps me.

    Yeah, it's weird. I get that in all areas. I've got ExpressScribe, but it doesn't seem to over ride the QT plug in.

    I'm using Firefox 12.0... I'm about to run out for a few hours to take care of errands, but I was thinking of trying IE later on when I get back and seeing if that's any better.

    It works for me in both Firefox and Chrome. I've seen that menu before but I can't figure out why it's not working and showing a different menu for you than me.

    It's very odd. It's obviously something with my Quicktime settings, because I get the same menu in Chrome and IE. It's not the end of the world, because those clips are so short. It would be nice to play them in ES, but for short ones like that, I'm not going to sweat it.

    I get the same menu as PhobicTurk, the only way I could download the audio was to go into tools and disable the Quicktime Plugin. I was working with someone from Claritrans for a while but they could not figure out what was going on, I told them it didn't matter because the clips were so short and if needed I had a work around by disabling the Quicktime Plugin.

    Yes, that's what I was thinking when I posted the link. I didn't see your post before I posted it though. :p
