If you\u2019ve ever wanted to work for Google, now\u2019s your best chance. The company has a new app called Task Mate<\/a> that lets you earn money by completing tasks such as taking pictures of storefronts or recording short voice clips.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment, the app is live only for users in India. Plus, you\u2019ll need an invitation code to sign up and start working on these tasks \u2014 it appears there aren\u2019t many codes around yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm already has an app called Google Opinion Rewards<\/a> that asks you questions about its own products or places you visited in exchange for Play Store credit.But this new app goes beyond merely quizzing you on your shopping habits and whereabouts \u2014 and you get paid in real money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Task Mate divides tasks into two categories: sitting tasks such as recording sentences, and field tasks such as taking photographs. You\u2019ll be paid in your local currency once reviewers approve your completed task.<\/p>\n

There are no details on how these inputs might be used, but Google will expectedly use them to improve its search, dictation, and image recognition processes.<\/p>\n
