What data entry work looks like for job seekers in Philippines, how employers screen it, and the free test that shows whether you would pass.
Enter codes, forms, invoices and catalogue records exactly as given. Paid per hour or per batch, often part-time.
How it is screened: A keystrokes-per-hour test on real-looking codes (8,000 KPH at 95% accuracy is the common bar), sometimes an Excel basics check.
What is usual in Philippines
- BPO typing screens commonly set 35–40 WPM; chat accounts often ask for 45.

- Transcription and captioning roles expect 98% accuracy on the long format.
- Night shifts for US accounts are standard; say so plainly in interviews.
Pay is set by the client's country more than yours; the salary calculator shows illustrative ranges in PHP.
