I actually do all of those audio transcription HITs whenever they come up. I like them, maybe because I can type very fast. They are normally recordings of British/Irish or Australian people. I think Appalachian Drunk is by far the hardest language to transcribe so far.

This made me laugh pretty damn hard. Thanks, I needed the laugh. Half the time, it sounds like they've recorded people talking under water. How they expect any human being to do half of those HITs is beyond me. You'd have to possess super hearing to be able to discern what a lot of these people are saying.

Am I reading it correctly or does it say it wants HIT approval rate to be GreaterThan 99?

They don't count percentage rates, so 99.99 is still 99. Which means they want 100 approval rates.

Have you signed up at Crowdsurf? They have a lot of short transcription tasks on their platform. It takes a little while to do the onboarding thing. You have to go to Crowdsurf and sign up there. Then they kick you over to Work Market where you also create an account.and then take a test. When you pass they give you access to the Crowdsurf platform where you do the transcription tasks. They pay you thru Work Market. . Generally within an hour or so after you stop completing assignments. I don't have the patience for transcription work for the most part but it's always nice to have options.

I've never noticed one like that before. I guess my 100% is actually worth something.

EDIT I just assumed it meant equal to or greater than.

That looks interesting. I will check that out later. Thanks for the info!

As for now, I only made half my PE and there ain't much in the Matrix for me anymore, so I guess it's time to go cook. I always cook on snow days, and Dad had oral surgery this week so we need some good soft-food meal options for the week. Here's the menu:

- Homemade mac & cheese
- "Beef" stew (actually ground beef)
- Creamy New England clam chowder, with fresh local clams
- Beef/italian sausage meatloaf
- Ground chicken, vegetable, & couscous soup
- Home sandwich bread, and dinner bread
- Double chocolate ice cream (custard base, from my own chickens!)

Only people who haven't done that many HITs have 100% approval rates. Anyone over 1,000 will have a hard time actually maintaining 100%. How many hits have you done? I can see from their quals that you have over 1,000 though.

Do any of you keep track of who you're supposed to have bonuses coming from? If so what's your method? I don't remember most of these even when I read the email.

You've received a bonus from Paola Mallucci mTurk for work related to 3BS6ERDL95DADX7CMXNHVL0D7Y26D9.
The value of your bonus is: $2.01 USD

The Requester included this note:
One point in our study means one cent, and this is how much you have earned. We are new to MTurk, so we apologize if the bonus payment is a bit late.

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

Sincerely,
Amazon Mechanical Turk

Morning, y'all. Been lax with Turking again but I decided I don't feel like working for less than $100 extra tomorrow when I can just soldier on out here for $10/day for the rest of the month plus whatever I can scrounge today/tomorrow. :)

Looks like there are no more available.
there were only 5 of them when i saw them on hit finder. maybe one of us MTC people were brave enough to do them and will let us know?

I emailed the requester, so of course I will report here if I hear anything back. :)
