    I have been trying to work on HITS from Casting Words but can't figure out how to start and stop their audio. When I click on their audio link it brings me to a blank web page and the audio starts. Well, how do I stop it, rewind it, fast forward it, etc. There are no buttons and no way for me to download it as an MP3 file to my desktop. They provide a lot of transcription hits and pay well, so I would like to work on their HITS. Can anyone help?
    Thank you much.

    Which browser are you using Luckharm? I have always found DOWNLOAD LINKS on the hits.

    Hi Andy,

    I am using Firefox. Should I try IE?
    Thanks,

    Margie


    Andy,

    Based on your question, I tried IE and it worked! Thanks so much. Now I can start working on these HITS. I am still puzzled as to why they did not work with Firefox though.

    Castingwords does have better paying hits if you qualify. But all in all, I think their pay sucks for the amount of time and effort it takes to transcribe audio. I also notice a lot of their audio is of mediocre to poor quality. Just my personal observation. :)

    I tried ExpressScribe and it really helps slow down the audio so you don't have to rewind so many times. Thanks for all the help.
