New Task Opportunity - Business Card Transcription

[Laurieandjohn]

I too did a few of the business cards myself yesterday I found some of the color hard but like others have said it made me feel like I was working again so I enjoyed them very much going start doin them more often

The Cons:
2.  I think it is quite sensitive to capitlization and parenthesis etc in phone numbers and marks some entreis incorrect that really should be correct

Thanks for the feedback.  A function to rotate the cards is already in the works.  As for capitalization and punctuation, I believe you are supposed to enter it exactly as shown on the card, even if, for example, it's all lower case (which is not really grammatically correct).  I'll double check on that.

I just heard back and here are your answers:
- For phone numbers, you should transcribe it exactly as written, including +, -, (, ), and spaces as applicable. 
- For names, you should transcribe them exactly as written, even if all lower case.  Even if another user's entry disagrees with yours on capitalization, you'll still both be credited.

I just tried some out. I think they are pretty easy to do and kind of a nice break from the other tasks I've been doing.

I was wondering how long it takes to get credit for the card transcriptions?

I am always looking for new tasks. I think I will at least try this.

Hi all,

Just wanted to announce that we have a new task opportunity available.  You can get paid to transcribe scanned business cards to text.

Click here to check it out, and let us know what you think!

After trying this out I think it would be nice to be able to refer to the directions that you first see to get a better idea of how they want it done.

Credits post in bulk once per day, at 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern.  Whatever you've earned up until that time is credited.  There is a countdown timer at the bottom of the transcription task page.

I'll see if I can get a link to that added.
You can also click the "Read more" link at the top of the page to pop-down a set of instructions, even while you're working.

I tried a couple of these. Very simple and easy credit. I will be doing more of them!

I was  able to earn 4 cents from the business transcription, plan to work on it again  shortly.
