Transcribe Work speech recording Neevo

[EdibleDormouse]

Going in now (if I can...). I'll probably get to about 10 and want to tear my ears off.

 

[Mr Norman]

I got to 200 hundred and got bored. Might give it another go later, providing I have nothing better to do.

100 was as much as I could take. Although they're not great, I kind of hope it might be a sign Neevo are going to start offering more work again. We shall see.

I didn't get invited to this one did the screener, but clearly put the 'wrong' answer in!

The screener was odd - given they know my location and language, why are they giving me a bunch of what mostly seem to be US road names and then assume I'd know how to pronounce them!

 

[EdibleDormouse]

This one is very weird. I speak a LOT of languages, but I don't expect to find all of them in one poorly paid job.

 

[Wibble]

Got paid for this yesterday with no invalid tasks!!

 

[Kevinburrow]

Got paid £5 but can't actually rmeember doing any? Was this ages ago?

mine were from the 14th of November - so in Neevo years that's very fast payment

 

[EdibleDormouse]

Yup. Nice surprise £10 into PayPal yesterday. I was expecting that some time around Easter.

 

[Yuffie]

Wow, a new job on Neevo - great! Oh, wait a minute. got kicked out after 290 tasks. Not great at all

They were super easy and I guess that you, me and everyone else was over them like a rash. I knew they wouldn't last long.

 

[EdibleDormouse]

Has anyone else just that *that* survey?

They're going to have to seriously up their game if that's the plan.

I'd subscribe for guaranteed work of 2020/21 levels.

(Well I wouldn't, but... Bizarre concept, they should've explained what their model is if they wanted any worthwhile feedback)

Precisely. If they could guarantee work at those levels, I'm also in. I think Neevo provided something like £3000 of my income in 2020.

I was also quite...candid about them using AI to assess work levels and quality. The most recent pronunciation job, I had a raft of text to speech (an immediate 'no'), so could click out on the first word. Twenty of those, and suddenly my work wasn't up to scratch. Clearly the AI objected to the speed of click, but it's something they either need to make VERY clear in the job instructions, or have human eyes across it.

Anyone doing the current recordings. 9c per one and 2c to quality check.

Belted through the 2c ones. Now locked due to 'quality standards'. I think I'm too harsh!

 

[Retiree]

I haven't registered with this company. Regarding AI, it can be a useful tool but that's all it is at the end of the day, a tool. Tests done by computer in my opinion have their limitations. Back in the day when I worked as a 'temp' I thought it would be prudent to get my name down with a few 'temp' agencies as well as the main one I worked with. In one agency I sat a computer test on Word - now in Word as you know there are a few ways of doing the same task - I can't remember what question it was but let's pretend it was how do you save a document in Word and I pressed the relevant function key instead of control S. The woman in the agency was intimating that I didn't know Word - I said there is more than one way of doing these actions but she wasn't having it. It wasn't that command - I can't remember exactly what is was after all this time but the test had been programmed to accept 'control S'. I was told I was wrong in a spelling test too. Now when I was at school, admittedly I was taught to put "Charles' book" or "James' sock" with the apostrophe after the 's' to indicate possession but I'd read on a site called something like The Society for the Preservation of the Apostrophe which is now on hiatus I think. The site was run by a former editor so I thought well he probably knew what he was talking about and he maintained that it should be "James's sock" or "Charles's book" and I failed that question in the English grammar test because the computer thought it should be "James' sock". That's going back a bit but tests administered by computer can be very inflexible.

I failed the quality check on the 2c one. I did a recording one for them beginning of march but not been paid yet.

I failed it as well, I usually do. I just don't get this job obviously, if someone is meant to sound happy, and they sound anything but, I mark it as no, but yet I am wrong. Honestly though they all sound the same, there is hardly any difference in tone in their voices.

No big loss though, with that pay.

I agree none of them sounded happy or sad so I put no and did it twice but still failed. Like you say it is only low pay
