It s a big scam
It s a big scam. It s like this company doesn t exist. I applied via indeed, and gave my personal details. They said that my application was succesful, but when i click on the link they sent me, it directed me to page, where it says: your application is still under review.... I contacted the support team, and an AI agent takes over and doesn t go any further. I s a big scam. I am not sure if they are going to delete my personal details under GDPR regulation.

The worst Online Freelance work platform ever.
The people in charge of the Arabic project are inexperienced, issuing conflicting instructions and addressing participants in a manner that can only be described as blatant verbal harassment
insults, disrespect, and a complete lack of professionalism.

Dishonest rates, technical issues, and unfair QA system
First of all, they offer an hourly rate that’s lower than what they advertise. I didn’t receive my payment, not a big deal, but it was a complete waste of time. The platform has technical issues, and they calculate QA evaluations incorrectly, either intentionally or out of incompetence. The system repeatedly logs you out. While this doesn’t directly cause loss of rights, they can later claim your connection was lost during a QA review. You can listen to your recordings for background noise, and those evaluations are usually fair. However, the echo issue is impossible, since I monitor echo in real time through another program. Overall, this site is technically inadequate and pays very little. They advertise “50 calls a day,” but in reality, your call limit is capped at 6. And due to the site’s technical problems, they blame you and reduce your call limit to 3, 2, or even 1.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations.
Earning rates and call limits are outlined within each specific project and can vary. The applicable rate is always visible before work begins. If there is ever a payment discrepancy, we encourage contributors to contact support so the case can be reviewed individually.
We understand that technical and quality-related issues can be frustrating, and we are continuously working to improve platform stability and clarity around quality metrics and limits.
We appreciate your feedback.

Krimineller Scammer, zahlt nicht und lässt Ausweisdokumente scannen, um damit Geld zu machen/Fälschungen herzustellen
Babel Audio gehört zu einem der Unternehmen, die in der Bewerbungsrunde jede Menge Audio-Material sammelt, angeblich, um die Tauglichkeit für die Arbeit als AI-Trainerin zu testen. Im Endeffekt gibt es aber die Jobs nicht. Die Audio-Daten werden während der Bewerbungsrunde gesammelt (Texte vorlesen, frei über ein Thema sprechen), und natürlich wird NICHTS bezahlt. Dann soll ich noch meine Ausweisdokumente Einscannen und schicken….Einloggen ins Portal funktioniert später nicht (Freischaltcode wird nicht geschickt) und ich werde wegen zu vieler Einlogversuche gesperrt. Warnung vor diesem kriminellen Unternehmen.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We’re sorry to hear that this was your experience.
The audio tasks completed during the application process are used solely to assess suitability for specific projects. As with many project-based opportunities, not all applicants are selected, as availability and business needs can vary.
Identity verification is a standard security and compliance requirement and is handled by a secure third-party provider.
If you experienced technical issues with login codes or account access, we encourage you to contact support so the matter can be reviewed and resolved.

Babelaudio ist definitiv ein Betrug.
Babelaudio ist definitiv ein Betrug.
Sie kümmern sich in keiner Weise um die Teilnehmer. Ihr einziges Ziel ist es, so viele unterschiedliche Stimmen und Reaktionen wie möglich aufzuzeichnen. Man darf nur ein paar Tage teilnehmen, danach wird das System für einen gesperrt.

toxic
you can choose when to work but you have to pass several test before starting and sometimes because of the website you might wait like 10 minutes after that you have to wait until someone connected to the platform. And you have to choose a topic together. If you have a mild technical issue they don't care they just flag you. And I have discovered if you get 1 technical flag they start to check your conversation and they start to give you flags to all your conversation until you lose all your calls. And they say it's easy to lose but difficult to earn them back :) I mean that's wild. If you start to give me red flags please do your job and review my good work too. It is like a working in a toxic company and yet you're not allowed to share any information with people who you speak with. So yes you cannot share if you have any issue or cannot be friends either. On top of that you're not allowed to share this job in your LinkedIn or anywhere else. Why it's secret? They want your voice and yes they don't want you to speak .
