Pros
Listen to 39 recording and transcribe what you hear. You can listen to each file twice. Overall a simple task if you have good hearing, decent headphones and can type reasonably fast. It appears there may be different versions of this HIT as some workers report having to transcribe more or fewer recordings.Cons
Lackluster pay. No way to make this go faster (39 audio files to listen to) unless you zoom through it and only listen to each audio once with little care as to whether you're transcribing things correctly. The agreement page is a waste of time don't bother clicking within the box. Audio is muffled by static and words are not easily discerned.AJay Proficient Worker

Pros
Cons
Have to give an "email id", which I used an obviously fake email address. Possible TOS violation, there.120 phrases of generally low audio quality need to be transcribed.
Rejected for claiming I didn't complete the survey.
After conferring with the requester, I apparently missed a transcription or an accent rating. Double-check that you marked both questions before moving on, because the survey will happily let you complete the survey and submit only to be rejected. Better, yet, just return this poorly-designed, TOS-violating, underpaid HIT.
