Data Entry: Protypers With Payment Proof

I decided to try Protypers weeks ago. Normally people can make their first payment during the first week but my schedule don't allow me to do that. Besides I normally worked around one to two hours per day and not at the best rate. Most of the time I worked at the lowest rate. What are the rates? I'll tell you later.

First of all, what is Protypers?



However, some people said solving captchas are helping hackers. To be honest, I don't know whether it's true or the above is true. So I'm holding on what I see now until it's proven otherwise.

How it works?

As I mentioned above, you need to solve captchas. Register for an account, then refer to the tutorial (IMPORTANT!) Then click on 'Solve Images' on the sidebar to start working.



Easy?

Maybe. Maybe not. Bear in mind, you're solving captchas. For me, sometimes captchas didn't make any sense. I couldn't figure out what the words were most of times. But the more you work, the better you'll become.

The Rates

Finally to that part (money$$) The rates varied. The least would probably be $0.50 per 1000 images but I hadn't get to that rate yet. The least I came across so far was $0.60 per 1000 images. The first week I worked was $0.85 per 1000 images. That's the least rate. The rates changed each hour. The best rates normally at 16.00 but it's sleep time in Asia so I never have a chance to work at that rate. To have a better understanding on the rates, here's an example:



Precision Rates

This will tell how accurate you are. It's best to maintain 90+%. Mine is like a rollercoaster. It goes up and down but still maintain higher than 90%. I thought I was going to be kick out after it dropped below 95% but I was wrong.

Payment Proof



Payment will be made on each Monday. The minimum payout for Paypal would be $3.00. There's no payout button. Once you hit the minimum amount, they send you the money.

Rules and Tips

1) Work fast. Time is not a leisure and it's in seconds. It's best if you don't have to look at the keyboard while typing but if not, don't despair. I normally took seconds to figure out the text and look at the keyboard to type. I could type without looking but I tend to make mistakes. To correct the mistake, I lose precious time and get kickout. Multiple kickouts=ban.

2) Don't type garbage. Type the real words/text. If you encounter a text that you don't know, just click 'Don't Know'. However, only click 'Don't Know' when you really don't know as multiple 'Don't Know'=ban as well. Another thing to remember, if you came across a Chinese character/text, click 'Don't Know' as well. I typed error once and my account was frozen for awhile after they send me directly to Rules.

3) Don't try to cheat or scam. Should I explain?

4) Mind the space and capital letters. If there's space, then space the texts. However, the most common problem for me would be capital letters. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate 'U' from 'u', 'X' from 'x' or 'Z' from 'z'. They're almost the same!

5) Focus on the obvious. Just type the main and obvious text. Ignore the punctuation marks.

6) Do read the Guide and Rules. They're really helpful.
