Completely unprofessional

Completely unprofessional.
Ive been a member for almost a month now, and have yet to even see an entry level job. Apparently this is the "busiest time of the year" for them but cant give me one job to work on? Every job i see my rank is "too low to accept this job". I can't rank up my account to perform these jobs because there is no entry level jobs for me to complete. Not to mention, the pay is complete dirt. You could make more money per hour looking downtown for coins on the ground (seriously). Support will tell you to just keep waiting and keep looking because the jobs have limited entry on the amount of people able to apply for it. If this is the case, why even hire me. Dont waste your time on this site, as they seem to have 1000 transcriptionists, and about 5 pieces to transcribe per day, at about $0.50 per piece.

Seems like a completely pointless site to me

Every day there're a handful of jobs paying cents (less than a dollar). Why would I waste my time doing anything for such a trivial amount? Oh, not to worry, because my "rank" isn't high enough anyway to benefit from these fantastic opportunities.
There's nothing to see here. Keep going.

My family



Family is the cornerstone of our lives. It shapes our identity, provides emotional support, and offers a sense of belonging. Whether it’s our immediate family or extended relatives, the bonds we share with them are irreplaceable. 1. Unconditional Love Family members love us unconditionally. They accept our flaws, celebrate our achievements, and stand by us during challenging times. This unwavering support creates a safe haven where we can be our true selves without fear of judgment. 2. Emotional Stability When life throws curveballs, family is there to catch us. Their presence provides emotional stability. Whether it’s a comforting hug from a parent or a heart-to-heart conversation with a sibling, family members offer solace and reassurance. 3. Shared Memories Family gatherings, traditions, and celebrations create lasting memories. From holiday dinners to summer vacations, these shared experiences strengthen our bonds. These memories become the threads that weave our family tapestry. 4. Life Lessons Our family members are our first teachers. They impart wisdom, values, and life lessons. Through their guidance, we learn about empathy, resilience, and compassion. These lessons shape our character and influence our choices. 5. Sense of Belonging Family provides a sense of belonging. No matter where we go, our family roots ground us. They remind us of our heritage, culture, and lineage. Our family tree connects us to generations past and future. Conclusion In a fast-paced world, family remains a constant. Cherish your family, for they are the ones who celebrate your victories, wipe away your tears, and stand beside you through thick and thin.

NOT A BEGINNER-FRIENDLY SITE...

It doesn't even matter how experienced you are in transcribing if you are on this platform. In CastingWords, you will always start from scratch, and there are almost no available jobs for those who are new to the platform. Most jobs are only accessible to those who already have a high ranking. If you're not in the leaderboard, then don't expect to get projects anytime soon. The only good thing about this transcription site though is that it's easy to get through the application process.

Favoritism

Those who do good work, take time to ascend, while those who do bad work, stay on top as experienced transcribers. I'm an editor and have seen this to be true with my own eyes. Some management members even have dummy accounts to snatch jobs (editing jobs) directly to themselves, but making it appear there just for show and yet already taken it.
Check your top transcribers’ jobs. The story of the system noting a downgrade after review and taking off some points and vice versa for an upgrade after review, fix that. Leaving great transcribers bottom and maintain worst transcribers up, fix that too. That is favoritism.

This company is not worth a try

This company is not worth a try. You get signed up, but you will almost never get any job as a beginner. For you to move upwards from the beginner level, you'll hqve to complete over 100 jobs rated 8s and 9s, their highest ratings. The sad part is you can refresh continuously for one month daily and don't even get 20 jobs. I mean, why sign up freelancers if you don't have jobs available. It could be much simpler saying you're not hiring like most successful freelance sites. I wouldn't even dare recommend this company to anyone. You will waste alot, I mean, alot of your time. AVOID this company

Not worth to try.

When I first tried it, there were more than 600 jobs for the taking. Unfortunately though, not a single job, not a single one out of those 600 plus jobs, was available for a beginner to work on. It's definitely not somewhere to start your transcription career off. And it will be an absolute waste of time to even try and get those badges.
