    They don't seem to be responding to any emails either.

    I emailed several days ago about a completely ignorant review where my audio file said 'Door, door frame -' as in the door AND the door frame and the reviewer changed it to read '2 doors blahblah' -smh-

    Also asked in the email if the bonus program had been halted and no response. Last time I mailed them some time ago they literally got right back to me. I guess those days are gone.

    Without the bonus program, my balance seems to be increasing at a very slow rate when I am doing these hits. What is everyone averaging per hour on these?

    I used to accept 25 hits at once and normally get them completed within 15 minutes, giving my $4 per hour + the bonus. SpeechInk’s servers seem to be loading ridiculously slow these days, however, and I am now scared to calculate an exact hourly wage. I have now started trying to do hits from other requestors while waiting for the audio to load.

    BTW if you haven’t already set up hot keys on your computer for these hits, I highly recommend it. I have hot keys set up for all the regularly used phrases, such as “good condition”, “painted white”, “has been handed over in a clean and tidy condition”, “wall-mounted”, “ceiling-mounted”, “stainless steel”, etc. It takes a while to memorize all of the shortcuts, but once you know them, you can complete the hits much quicker, as well as save your fingers.

    I can't even calculate it because it takes so long to load now, like you said. Bumming me out. Haven't responded to any of my e-mails either. I live kinda near their office address, I should drive on over and demand answers! Lol.
