I tried them out.
First, I spent what I felt to be an extremely unreasonable amount of time doing non-paid work, specifically looking up recipient addresses. (Some people will tell you, "It depends on the quality of the database for your account." Well, which accounts do you think the newbies get put on?)
Second, out of several hundred jobs I submitted during my training, I never once submitted a job that QA couldn't find something to mark wrong... such as deleting commas they felt were unnecessary, or one day, deleting "a" or "the" or "of" when it wasn't dictated clearly enough... and then the next day adding those words in when they weren't dictated at all. I submitted a job where a colon only had one space after it instead of two, and they subtracted points for that.
Third, the Australian accent can be a bit difficult, but is the worst with proper nouns, which the dictations are utterly full of. Trying two minutes worth of phonetic spelling guesses of un-spelled names and addresses for a 45-second dictation can break the spirit of any transcriptionist, especially when it is your tenth or fifteenth such dictation in a row.
Anyway, I would say give them a try, but pay close attention to the economics of the work and compare it to what you could make elsewhere. For you, it may be higher or it may be lower.
