I'm new to Casting words but I finished my first transcription. Wondering, should I start another one or just wait and see. Any experienced Turkers? Thank you guys.
It depends. I've had some transcriptions graded within 15 minutes of submitting them. But most of the time it takes a few hours. From time to time, I have some that take a few days to be reviewed. I have one of those right now, that I submitted six days ago. If it's your first transcription, then it's a good idea to wait for it to be reviewed before doing more. If you get a not-so-good grade, you should probably register at turkers.castingwords.com and wait for the final edit to appear so you can see what you did wrong.
Yes, you are right. My first transcription still remains pending. But my 3rd and 4th transcripts got approved. I don't know why long transcriptions gets approved sooner but shorter transcripts remains for a week now. What the hell?
