    I've done a few when there was literally nothing else to do. Not worth it for the pay IMO. It comes out to about $2.50 a hour.

    That's pretty much where I'm at right now. I woke up super late (2pm..) so I missed a lot of the stuff posted today. How many do you think you did? Any rejections?

    Edit: Looks like they've changed names, too. http://turkopticon.differenceengines.com/A1LP8TX9G7T7P2

    I've done only 30 or so of there and I haven't got rejected. My girlfriend on the other hand did 6 and got half of them rejected and she decided against doing them again. It seems like its really a crap shoot and if you understand exactly what they are looking for and what they consider "shouting".

    IMO, not really worth the money, but I have done a lot of them purely for numbers. No rejections, so far.

    If you do them, pay VERY close attention to the ones in training and their reasons for them being "shouting" or not. Use THEIR definition of shouting, not yours, which is basically ANYTHING that is in a higher or louder tone than the person's normal voice. It does not have to be yelling, just higher pitched or louder. Be careful of the training one that shouts, then says "mother" in a lower tone. They say that it is partially shouted, because motherF isn't loud, even though we know what she is actually saying. If you get some controls wrong, they will send you back to training.

    Here is a thread in which someone from SpeechTranscript came to the forum to talk and gave some good advice. http://mturkforum.com/showthread.php?5111-SpeechTranscript

    I don't have words to describe how much lucky I am today. I got 150 total from those 3 batches of TL, the highest TL HITs I've got so far. IDK, it's just pure luck, to be able to be in the right place at the right time. 150 may not be a big number when compared to what the heavy turkers do here, but when considering I'm on dial-up....

    Maybe it's just me, but the survey link is broken. Tried opening it in the frame and in a new window, and it doesn't work. I returned the hit.
