Payment and Quality Checks

Will I be paid for every submission?

No. Submissions must meet our requirements. Anything that doesn't meet our requirements will be rejected and you and your recording partner will not be paid.

How will I be paid?

You will be paid via our Payment Processor. Visit our Earning Fees and Payment Set Up FAQs to learn more.

Is the rate shared between partners?

No, the rate is per person, not shared.

Example: If the rate communicated to you and your partner is $0.10, you will each make $0.10 per minute recorded.

Will my recording partner be paid?

Yes! Your recording partner will be paid as long as all steps are followed correctly. They need to complete the sign-up process, receive their rate email, and use their email for the generated recording link.

As long as these steps are followed and the submission is not rejected. they will be paid.

How will my recording partner be paid?

All participants are paid using our payment processor.

If you're already a Jeenie Linguist, you'll receive payment for this project in addition to your normal Jeenie payment.

If you have not worked with Jeenie before, you will still be paid through our payment processor. Visit Receiving Your Funds for everything you need to know about getting set up—and getting paid.

What would cause my recording to be rejected?

While Jeenie will try to use any recording that is submitted, your submission may be rejected.

Common reasons for rejected recordings include:

Poor audio quality (cutting out, echo, lag, dead air, etc.)
Background noise
Non-approved topics
Discussion of offensive, religious, political, or otherwise controversial topics
Using a non-native language or speaker
Recordings in a language that does not match the signup form
Recordings that are too long or too short
Only one person speaking most of the time
Other technical or quality issues as determined by Jeenie

Jeenie may reject recordings for any reason if they do not meet quality standards.

How will I know if my recordings have been accepted?

The platform does not currently provide a live dashboard or tracking system for participants. We recommend keeping a personal log of your recordings, including the date, topic, and partner name.

Our team reviews each submission, and you'll only be paid for accepted recordings that meet all the quality criteria. If there’s an issue with a recording, someone from the team will reach out to you directly. Otherwise, if the recording is accepted, it will be reflected in your monthly payment.
