    Well, they went through $10 of transcriptions in the last two days and rejected those. Like I said, I haven't changed anything other than the word "colour" to "color". Usually I queue up around 10 transcriptions and do them all when I go to the coffee shop or to the TV at home. I stopped doing it that way. I didn't change the format or anything else and suddenly 65% or so of the larger files I did were rejected in the last day or two.

    But I like working on hard work with low pay that also has a high chance of rejects!

    Not all of it. Occasionally something will pop up that pays well and actually has clear audio and an interesting topic.
    She says as she realizes she has not done any transcription in a couple of months.

    What in the world happened. I left mTurk for four days to work on a transcription platform myself and lounged around like a slob. I find these when I come back.
