I took my test. It was transcription of the messages. But, every time I finished a task it I heard this bull horn sound . I left the tab up and went to another site and it honked again . Other than that it was pretty cool and excited to get started once the testing stuff is over

How do you get to the test? Do you just sign in and wait for something to pop up? I'm on the site but I don't see anything about a test.

I was kind of confused about that as well. I transcribed 2 and then answered them both. I'm not sure really what we are supposed to do. I think they needed to be a bit more descriptive about the test. I have a feeling I probably really messed it up.

okay, i just took the test, and i hope i did well. It was fairly easy and i figured out what to do. I transcribed three questions and then went back to answer them, simple. If you are wondering how to do it, just refer back to the email they sent you and go over user interface instructions. Wishing everyone good luck.

Here's what I ended up doing:
1. Log in
2. Click on Mobile Assistance (upper right corner)
3. Click on a blue circle with a white triangle in it.
4. Listen to the message and transcribe it; hit submit.
5. Click on start and answer the question I transcribed; hit submit.

I repeated this 3 times. I have attached a screenshot to this message showing what your screen should look like after you click on Mobile Assistance and also showing what the blue circle looks like.

Hope I helped someone.

I also can not access any assignments. I did however receive an email along with the performance log for the test. It said that we were going to be paid on Sept 15th. You got a whold $2.76. I think i answered my questions too fast, i should have slowed down because it only took me under a minute to answer all three questions and i got $0.75 . Well some pay is better than no pay. I think i better start using the time suggested to complete the tasks, whenever we can get the assignment or questions.

When I took my test for B-vocalized. all I did was transcribe the questions that people were asking .I did not answer them . When I got their report about their comments on my work. It show my 1st question that I transcribed. Then is shwo the answer to the question. I transcribed that question but did not answer it . then for the second question again it show the exact question that I transcribed but this time it stated that.

"TEST OVER-RUN TIME LIMIT - YOUR QUESTION IS CANCELLED, AND WILL BE TAKEN OVER, BY ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE"

I transcribed it but didn't answer it .The report seemed like I answered the question. . So what are we really doing . are we transcribing the audio or answering the questions? or those are just the tasks that I was given and there will be instances where I will be answering questions.

I am a little confused now , and I am allso a little curious as to when we will be able to start.

Who did you send payment information in to, and also what did you send in? I got an email telling me how much i made, a billable log. Do i suppose to send this to someone? Moving on with what is going on with the job, i logged into the site and talked to the admin., and found out that the performance of the IVA's were not up to par (in so many words). I was informed that we will get a letter Monday. They said that from looking at the previous test, that the feel as though the IVA's were not ready to go live. So, i guess we will have to wait and see what is next. I was not able to get specific information about my employment, however the information that was given was general. So just cross your fingers and hope that your performance met the standards. Also, i found out that they need 130 IVA's and are approving them by the batch. So it sounds like they might still be doing some hiring for all of those looking to get on. Also, if you do not want to take my word for it, just log in and chat with the admin. I wish everyone the best of luck. Hopefully we will hear some good news soon.

I actually talked to the administrator about what was going on with us starting. If you look in this thread you will see what the administrator told me. To make a long story short, because of the IVA's performance on the first test, they do not feel that we are ready. We were suppose to receive an email yesterday informing us with what is going on. I have gotten my bill log and my performance review. They are very detailed. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next. If you log into the spp interface you can chat with the administrator to see for yourself exactly what is going on. However, they will not be able to give you individual information, the information they will give you is general.

Also on the same one they said I took too long on, they said that I answered it wrong. Which actually I answered exactly what they asked, but then they reworded the question in my feedback to something completely different. My other 2 were right on the mark though. So, hopefully the actual clients will be a bit more specific in what they are meaning.,

It really depends on the type of question as to what kind of time frame you have to answer it. I noticed on some of the reports they posted up that it says 7 minutes is a reasonable amount of time.

I figured out why I got paid what I paid (2.56 USD). I transcribed the question and someone else went to answer it at the same time I did. So I got paid for someone elses work because THEIR answer shows up on my report. I told whoever was working chat yesterday about it was told they are going to fix it ASAP because other people could 'abuse' our questions by putting completely wrong info.

So everyone just make sure you answer the questions that YOU transcribed or else you won't get credit for it.

I had some pretty hard questions. I did finish them in under 3 minutes, but 75% of that time was research. Something to think about is that when the traffic picks up and we're all working, we'll get the same amount per hour. We can answer quickly and we can also take our time finding answers and we all get paid the same.

Thank you for that information, it was nice to know :) Now i can be a little relieved knowing that the pressure is really not on that much. Also, for some reason i thought the time had everything to do with our pay. Must have got it confused somewhere, however thanks for the clarity.

From what I've understood, the time does have everything to do with our pay. It says we will be paid $0.25 (canadian) for every minute we take to answer a question.

Edit; But like Khakigirl said, if each one of us answered questions non stop for one hour, we would get paid pretty much the same thing. It might vary by a dollar or so depending on how long it takes to transcribe the question..

Do a follow-up e-mail to remind them to send it to you. :)

They pay $0.25 (Canadian, not USD) so it's more like $0.23USD minus the fee (10% I think) so it's about $0.20/minute (someone correct me if im wrong, pretty sure that's right though)

I am trying to log in, but nothing happens. How do I get started? bvocalized sounds like a good company to work for.
