Facebook will pay you $5 for your own voice recordings

How the “Pronunciation” voice recording feature will work

Users who qualify to be a part of the Pronunciation program will be able to earn points in the Viewpoints app, which could be then translated to actual money. As per the report, users will have to say the phrase “Hey Portal” followed by the first name of a friend from their friends-list. Users will be able to do this with the names of up to 10 friends.

If you are thinking, you can make loads of money using the feature, you should do not get your hopes up the ladder. If you complete one set of recordings, reportedly, you get 200 points in the Viewpoints app. You will be able to cash out the points only when it reaches 1,000 points and that only translates to $5 reward via PayPal. You will need to make at least five sets of recordings to get to the 1000 point goal and get paid.

Who is eligible for voice recording program?

As per the report, the Pronunciations program will be available to US users only who are over the age of 18 and have more than 75 Facebook friends. The social media platform also says that it will be rolling out the program slowly via the Viewpoints app, so it won’t be available to all of the users right away. Facebook says that if the new feature is made available for a user, he or she won’t need to update the Viewpoints app to see it pop up.

Also, the company says that the voice recordings provided by the users will not be connected to their Facebook profiles. The company says that it doesn’t share Viewpoints activity on Facebook’s main app or other Facebook-owned services like WhatsApp or Instagram without user permission.
