Appen Project LOFT US

Did anyone else get an invitation to this project?

" Appen is currently recruiting a team for an important LOFT US English Call Center Project and we would like to invite you to take part. In this project, you will be asked to transcribe and annotate audio recordings on a transcription tool in American English. You are also required to closely follow all transcription instructions when doing this task. "

This project will last about 3 months

 This is a part-time role, you can work on this anytime you want, but we will require you to commit at least 25 hours per week

The pay rate for the project is USD 135 per one audio hour transcribed. Please note that it takes 12 to 15 hours to transcribe 1 hour of audio, therefore, you can expect to earn USD 9 to USD 11.25 per hour depending on your productivity when transcribing.

It seems interesting, but I'm hesitant to even bother because there is a 45 page pdf to study and a 17 page word doc, and also a quiz to take. I've been burned by Appen in the past where a project intended to last long was over in weeks. Would be a shame to make the effort to get hired for this project if that was the case.
