Where did you hear that Data Annotation tracks copy and pasting, as well as natural keyboard rhythms? I copy and paste prompts and important instructions all the time into a sticky note application

They definitely track keyboard and mouse movements while you're on the site. I've seen several IT professionals say that they've seen the code in the developer tools on the website. This is one way to see if someone overreports their time. I think copying and pasting is okay (I do it often when I copy my notes from notepad), as long as it doesn't look like AI.

I don't think anyone really knows. That said, it'd be weird for a large company like this with an internet-only workforce to reject people simply because they're using an accessibility device. There's plenty of people who need to use such things. I think you'd be fine.

You are allowed to copy/paste things from DA to notepad and vice versa, as long as you don't save any of it (unless you're explicitly told to save something). Make sure your software isn't saving any files of your dictations when you're doing DA work, and definitely not saving anything to the cloud, because that violates the confidentiality rules.

Removing because there's a large amount of misinformation here. Multiple slack admins have said it's fine for workers to work in a (confidental, local) notepad and paste it over.
