Thanks for the advice ! I was very picky for the ones that I did today and will continue to be for the time being. Hopefully, things will only get better. So, as it is with the rest of Mturk -- with these HITs will I get access to more when I get farther along ? Not that it matters right now but I am curious. EDIT -- They were approved !! And my qualification is now at 990. Definitely relieved now !
congrats for the approvals crowdsurf has no growing qual system. if you get their qual you can work on all of the HITs in the group. Additionally to the transcribing qual you should get the reviewers qual to check other trancribers work. If you maintain good quality and quantity you become eligible for their CrowdVirtualizer system. This is technically the same as the MTurk HITs but you work on complete audios instead of sniplets and the pay is better. also some other tasks like grading and special handling come available if you increase your qual over there
