Ah yeah, I've done like a million crowdsurf...speechpad is so different though...they don't want anything extra just the words
I think I started the qual test and decided it wasn't worth the effort to learn everything vs. the pay rate for the actual jobs. This was 3 years ago when you could make decent money doing CS hits.

I emailed support about this. The first person had no idea where to look for the qualification at all, so I sent screenshots.. but to the next person, because they send responses from email that I can't reply to. That person said that they would have to move it to someone else to be investigated, and said I must have accidentally checked "male" when I took the qualification. It only took a few emails to turn that blame onto me! I'm still waiting for the next response... How difficult can this really be?
I retook the qual a couple of weeks ago, and I know I checked female.

It's in the "can't request this qualification" gray zone for me... I am reasonably sure I was able to choose female without my brain exploding whenever I took it, but who knows. I don't even remember taking it. What is the number for Male? My number is 0 on the qualification. If the number for Male is 0, then maybe I did accidentally click the wrong dot.

Transcription is one of those things that you either don't do or pretty much do exclusively for one requester. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to keep up with guideline changes, shitty reviewers, fairly low pay...etc.

On the other hand, if you have a really good ear for dialect, muffled words, good headphones, patience, a good way to control the audio speed, and type really fast, there will always be work to do.

I took one of those speechrobot hits that pay a few bucks. You only had to transcribe whatever the child said while they were being interviewed. I got frustrated after 10 minutes. I was only 2 minutes into 10 minutes of audio. Most of it was the interviewer talking that you didn't have to do anything with. That seems like good paying transcription (you can only do one though) and it still ended up not being worth it.

Of course, I have the Disney channel playing full blast in my ear all day so...

I think it's set by those Amazon special qual hits that were posted earlier? If not, then I have no clue how to set it.

It's two different quals.

Gender - Female
Qualification to work on Tasks for Workers who are Female. A score of 1 means you are Female. A score of 0 means you are not.

Gender - Male
Qualification to work on Tasks for Workers who are Male. A score of 1 means you are Male. A score of 0 means you are not.

So for me, I have "1" for the "Gender - Female" qual and I have "0" for "Gender - Male" qual. If you haven't done the quals yet, you have no value.

I couldn't accept a hit last week that had "female" as the qual. maybe it's a bug.

Hi all, can anybody tell me a good site to have somebody write a three page essay for my Culture class. I am working none stop and need help with one assignment. Any good suggestions? it needs to be 3 pages and there is a pretty easy template to follow which dose not make it to hard. I have been working so much this is a job that I didn't have when I started college but I need to pass this class to be able to work on my accounting degree so the better it is the better off I will be. Thanks for your feedback.

It's not worth getting caught for plagiarism and risking your college career for the potential of one bad grade on one paper
