Transcribe academic articles for a research team - $6.00 +13.50 bonus

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$16.25 / hour

01:12:01 / completion time

Pros

Bonus opportunity - bonus is either 13.50 or 7.50 (unsure if bonus included base pay or not). Bonus amount will vary based on in-survey factors.
Very much worth it if you are a fast typer/good with transcription.
Each article only took me about 3-4 mins to transcribe. 9 (relatively short) articles total.
A lot of down time (timed transcription pages), so it doesn't really take the full 72 minutes.

Cons

LOTS. OF. TYPING. This probably isn't the hit for you if you are not a speedy typer or good with transcribing.
You have to transcribe 9 articles in total.
Each article has a timed page so you have to wait 8 mins per article even if you finish early.
Not very clear on the bonus amount at the end of the survey.

Transcribe academic articles for a research team(~ 60 minutes) - $4.00 +4.50 bonus

Low

Unrated

Pending

$10.64 / hour

00:47:56 / completion time

Pros

So there are a bunch of timed transcription tasks. Each one is timed for 8 minutes - but you can't proceed to the next one until 7 minutes has elapsed. Thankfully I type fast, so I was able to complete all the transcriptions in 2-3 minutes. So I spent the remaining wait time doing other HITs. So the HIT itself allows for multi-tasking if you're a fast typer. If not - stay away.

Cons

I'm not entirely sure what my bonus payment was. It was a bit unclear and I didn't feel like calculating it. It'll put me over 10 an hour though..
