The warning posts on this are absolutely correct. At the risk of stirring up a hornet's nest, I just don't understand why even those people who just want to earn a little bit of money want to spend a large amount of time doing it. If you want to earn a little bit of money, wouldn't you rather spend a little amount of time doing it?

If you are afraid of testing or of a mental commitment to the serious line of work that transcription is (and I don't know at all whether that's the case), I urge you to consider other ways to earn money at home (WAHM is full of them) if you just want a little money. But if you want more than a little money and you like transcription, I urge you not to consider CallGraph.

If you have the aptitude and skills to do transcription, which is in fact specialized work no matter whether it is general, legal or medical transcription, I urge you to consider real transcription, which pays at a really unacceptably low $25 to $30 per audio hour up to $100 per audio hour and more, with an average for general transcription probably being $50 to $60 per audio hour.
