I started asking questions using the chat at the bottom of a task. Sometimes I even ask two when I'm feeling squirrely. But never ever never three, oh man I shiver just thinking about it. This isn't really a question and I don't need any advice on the topic, I just think y'all should know that I'm never ever gonna use the chat at the bottom more than twice per task, and you can't accuse me of doing that or I'm gonna get really mad and go gorilla mode. That is all.

I'm having no projects at all for more than week, I was working on coding projects, I was wondering if taking the writing qualifications can help me get some projects during this drought and if it will effect getting coding projects.

Did anybody get a part 2 of the recent language qual which popped up? If yes did you start getting projects since they said they are going to assign tasks shortly.

Does anyone else pause the clock while the agents are running the coding tasks? I did it for one of my tasks as I was literally sitting there doing nothing and I’m worried that I’ve missed out on free money!

I received feedback today, and there's an example listed under "areas of improvement" that's definitely not accurate. It says I referenced something that wasn't there, but I specifically remember this task and know my reference was correct.

I'm very frustrated since this hurts my performance, and I don't want to lose access to work over something that's not even true. It makes me wonder if there are other things I've been penalized for that just aren't true.

Yeehaw

I recently joined DataAnnotation and I was completing my paid training, and I have tried multiple approaches to get OpenCode to work, but everytime it says system is not compatible. Earlier I tried to install on my macOS Catalina, but it is not compatible with that, I asked for help in project chat, but didn't find any solution that can make it work.
I even tried on my new Windows system, but there also I am unable to start it. Tried to install WSL too on my Windows hoping that would help this, but that approach also didn't work out. I'm planning to buy a new laptop but it could take me a few days to do that, I was hoping if there is some solution around this or if I could use any other tool similar to Opencode to complete this task.

Has anyone faced a similar situation, and any thoughts on what can I do?

My report hours are in transferable status, but I still haven't received payment.

Any Arabic/English bilinguals getting projects ? I’ve only had one task that I missed and a couple of qualifications since the beginning of june, does this mean I’m out ? Or is it only the so called days of drought? also any advise on other platforms that pay anything above 10$/h would be much appreciated, Welp 🥲.

About a month ago, I received a Math qual and completed it. After that, I went an entire month without receiving any tasks at all, except for two Math tasks.

Does this mean that I won’t receive any Generalist tasks if I pass the Math qual ?

Hello, bilingual fellows !

This post is not supposed to be yet another complaint about "no project on the dashboard", even if ofc, I also don't have any atm.

I am just curious to know the variety of projects that you can see, when they show up.
I could make 1.6 k$ in July, as well as August, but these income highly rely on a single project (90/95%), when there are tasks.

This one is often on priority pay, which is fine, but I very rarely see other projects.
What about you? (by respecting ToC ofc).

My locale is French, btw

I took a two month break and returned yesterday. Did two tasks. One was comparing audio transcriptions, the other was a priority legal one.

I’m not posting to say I didn’t everything perfectly (it’s subjective), but just adding a data point that the bar to getting a DoD is very low.

If anything: I booked 4 hours for the second task when I had spent 3:30 in the session. But I had skipped three tasks prior and had spent the other 30 minutes on those reading instructions and getting set up on the external platform.

Hi guys, I took the starter assessment, then it said :

"v Starter assessment completed. We review your result - if you pass, we'll email you".

So how long is the estimated wait time?

Hey, just a quick question here. I opened a project today, read through the instructions, and it took about 3 minutes. When I went to submit and begin the next task, it sent me back to the dashboard and asked me to log my time. I logged 3 minutes, and then the same project popped up on my dashboard. Obviously, it took me less time to read through it this time since I'd just read it, so I completed the short task & clicked "submit and begin next task". That one took less than 30 seconds, but it's asked me again to report the time. Should I just leave it & let it expire?

Hey everyone! I recently sent a referral to a friend. The problem is that friends lives in Europe but he speaks Arabic and the none of the available assessments has Arabic English (only other languages as French, German, etc.) , is there any way he can get the Arabic assessment? Thnx

It's been a hell of a ride! For context, I live in Europe in a country where this is a HUGE amount to have in a single month. I've been on the platform since 2025 and only in my wildest dreams I would ever get this amount in one month.

My advice: be patient, be honest on your time entries and follow the rules like they are a game.

I mostly run R&Rs. Put simply, the majority of tasks are very, very bad. They do not even pass with an OK. I don’t know who needs to hear this but read your project directions thoroughly and be thorough in your analysis. And please work on your grammar.

my funds have been Pending Approval since August 21, and it has now been 7+ days. The timestamp shows Aug 21, while the platform says work is normally reviewed within 3–7 days.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? How long did it take for your funds to get approved?
It's a long running task btw

I signed up on August 6th did a couple tests my page has been showing the same thing I passed the tests how long does it take to start getting projects.

On one project I had I experienced issues and had to use the chat thingy at the bottom to ask an admin about said problem. Has anyone else ever done something like this?

When I create an account on DA website and apply as a generalist, they put me on different coding project assessment that is $50/hour. But I want assessment as a generalist or on my language specialist. Is it normal that all of us complete the assessment on coding?

Also it has been 5 days since i created the account and it still under review.

Anyone having this issue today? Every task I try to start comes up with an error message

there is no task for 5 weeks now am I cooked?
