You do know that when your speed of typing is calculated, normally it is adjusted for any errors, right? When jobs post a minimum requirement for wpm, that's not for error filled rubbish, but usually an error free wpm. My point is with these HITs, even with a very high wpm rate, the pay is insulting and pathetic, at best. It becomes even worse if you're doing these as a slow typist who must hunt and peck to get an error free document.
I did one of these on the 17th....and it's still pending. blargh. =-( Not feeling too hot about it now- especially since I'm trying to raise my number of hits so I can qualify for some better hits. I wish I had seen this forum when I started last week =-)
Hi. Of course, it's you're point of view... Still, you seem surprisingly non optimistic for someone who has such an early start. Don't be... You probably don't like this kind of HITs, that's all. No big deal ... There are a lot of good HITs for beginners, too. Just to look for. Advice, if I may: start by accepting a diversity of HITs so you can find out what you like to do. Take as many qualifications as you can. You never know when you'll have the mood of taking a HIT that requires a qualification... If you don't have it, you'll just look at the HIT , and probably wait for a new round of qualifications, if any.... All this, will help you obtain the best results, both for you and requesters you'll work for, and keep your ratio over 99% , for a looooong time, when you will also probably have a great amount of HITs approved . Just my opinion... Good luck!

Hi. Today's paid qualifications session, here : https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchbar?selectedSearchType=hitgroups&searchWords=CopyText+Inc.&minReward=0.00&x=7&y=10
Little nervous of these HITs because I filled out ten of them correctly yesterday and was rejected for 7 for no reason that I can think of. All of the receipts were in French and I don't speak French but I was able to piece together the necessary parts of the HIT. Anyone else have trouble with these guys?
Hi. He, he, you made me smile, about "being nervous of these HITs"... Don't be nervous. There's nothing wrong with these guys, and there's nothing wrong with their HITs. lol We make mistakes, and like any other requester, is normally that they will reject a poor done work. I'm sure you have the reason for rejections in the feedback. If you want, you can copy paste the feedback here, and if I know, I'm willing to help you understand how it should have been typed. There is written above the first red line "More instructions here". You can click it and read again some instructions of "how to", that you may have forgotten. As for the language, yes is French. But it is no problem of language, could have been any language. (I've seen and done similar HITs in German, Hebrew, etc) We are not required to know the language; we just have to type EXACTLY what is written in the red box.
I'm totally willing to admit it was my error, sure. But here's the feedback: The given instructions have not been respected. I read through all of their instructions and thought I did ok but I must have missed something.

The fact that Copytext seems to have so many fake TO reviews (and comments of lower reviews) is almost more off-putting than the low pay on these. Call me a pessimist, but it seems fishy. The person who created this sockpuppet (ahem) should know that they made it way too obvious and it didn't help the reputation of the requester, at all. Quite the opposite, as I've never seen so many fake reviews for good and legit requesters. Decent requesters TO ratings speak for themselves - there isn't a reason to fake them.
Hi. OMG, I thought I read a TO review! lol As I always said the ONLY purpose of this thread is to let people know when CopyText Inc. publish their paid qualification test. It's in our benefit to be qualified for as many HITs as we can. Now, if you start the discussion from this point of view... Well, I wouldn't jump into conclusions that fast... First of all, I'd try to see the HIT; see if I like to do it, if my work on it is a quality work, and just after that I'll wait the requester reaction. But, how can anyone rely on some reviews of people upset being rejected for their mistakes. They did just a few HITs, admit that they done a shit work, but still post a bad review. Not to mention that they give the requester all four ratings, even if they are entitle to do so, just for one or two of them. How can you give an 1 on communicativity, when you admit that you didn't even contact the requester? It doesn't seem fair to me. Right now, all that comes into my mind is Real Estate Research. Is another HIT I love to work on. Maybe you worked on it, or if you didn't , ask around; there are many who love this HIT. Have you seen their TO? And I mean the bad reviews? I have done more than 10,000 HITs for this req. and I have NO rejection. Can you imagine how poor quality work must have done those who claims they have been rejected by RER????? OMG, poor requester!!!! And still they have the shameless to go on TO and give a low rating and BAD review, just so, because they did not did what they were ask to do in order to get the pay ... Is this fair? I'd say no. And these been showed, doesn't seem OK to you, that the other workers who really worked many HITs, and did a quality work, to have a common sense reaction and go themselves on TO to post a good review and stand for the requester? How can you let someone's reputation to be harmed and have no reaction, when you know that is not like that? Think of what I told, and try to get your own conclusion regarding a HIT and a requester, after some time on the HIT. Is better and fair, this way.
