I said I wanted to do some online learning

What I am needing to learn online is the proprietary software of a company that does captioning. Then I need to take a captioning test to see if I am hired. I do not know how good the earning will be, but I do know that for July and August I have no school paycheck and I need to do what I can to pick up some money. I would welcome anyone else looking at the site. I do not earn for referrals and in fact do not know if I will be accepted. It would be nice to hear some opinions, though. I found the site through a job site, Indeed, I think. Rev.com is the website that says it is hiring people to do captioning.

I haven't heard of it. I don't really understand what captioning is.

You may see captioning on any broadcast program or movie when they are allowing hard of hearing to understand the speech etc. It will be a small black box with white writing in it, should be word for word. Also should have "atmospherics' like "telephone ringing" or "thunderstorm".

@JudyEv I just am not sure my brain can hold all the details of their app.

@GardenGerty Oh, of course. I've seen this often but didn't realise this was what was meant.

It might be interesting. There have been several intriguing sites presented to me recently.

It is free to investigate and does not ask for any fees.

I have read both positive and negative reviews of this. I may not have time to do it before vacation.

@GardenGerty I prefer to teach online at home. I've been doing this for more than 3 years now.

I was going to do that at one time but read not great reviews Heather of course that was long ago. I hope it turns out well for you though. Sounds like a fun thing to do.

There are some shady companies out there. This seemed more solid.

What does captioning mean? What does it entail?

Captioning is typing word for word what is being said in a show or broadcast, adding in atmospherics like "birds singing", "loud knocking" etc. You see it in programs that want to include hard of hearing viewers.

Haven't heard of rev.com before but Spare5.com has captioning too.
I worked for Rev as a captioner. This place is a total scam. Their organization is a mess, they're dishonest, and they pay wages that are way below standard. Do

Hmm. . . I have little patience for things like that. I have even seen captioning on other task sites.

@AkoPinay I am not sure if I ever signed up for Humanatic or not. I have a couple of small task sites where I have done a little in the past.

@GardenGerty me too but I know of Filipina who earns $100 plus weekly at Spare5. I prefer Humanatic.com because it works on mobile browsers.

You know, I did not check that. I was impressed it was on a job site.

I hope you get the job. I'll give the site A look see.

I am having a hard time finding a block of time to test in, but it should happen. Thanks for the wishes.
