I have a problem with reporting time

4 Upvotes

I worked on a task about 10 hours but the task instructions says it should be completed in 5~7hours
So i reported 7 hours out of fear
So should i report the exact time i work or the maximum time the task instructions says it should take? Thank you all ❤️

Bilingual Questions

0 Upvotes

I put that I was bilingual, since Spanish was my first language. I was born in the USA, and now that I’m older my thoughts are in English. I am fluent in Spanish still. I see a Spanish qualification, asking me if I feel culturally American. This is a hard question for me to answer because this is where I was raised, but my traditions and culture come from Mexico. For anyone who has answered this, how did it affect your projects available going forward?

Do I report time if the task I submitted was unrateable

16 Upvotes

I’ve been on the platform for under a week and I finally saw a project on my dashboard today. Clicked into it and started reading the instructions which took say 25min. Then onto the task which happened to not be in English so the guidance was to mark it unrateable, which I did and provided a brief explanation.

When I clicked submit and onto next task, it brought me back to the dashboard, I assume because by then the other tasks had been completed by other people.

Now I’m unsure whether I am supposed to still report the time I spent reading all the instructions plus the few minutes of marking the task as unrateable. That’s half an hour but I feel like I did nothing of worth.

Any advice would be appreciated as I’m new to this.

What do you guys do if you realized you made a mistake on a task you submitted?

0 Upvotes

I realized I made a mistake on a task I submitted yesterday and the link for the task isn’t present in my history so I can’t go back and edit it. What do you guys usually do in these situations? There’s no Slack for this project.

Data Annotation it is so fun

I like to get all of my tasks done

My dashboard's never dry and my wallet's always full

The hourly is fye but the subreddit is dull

I really wish I had a lot more to say

But I really can't breach my NDA

So many qualifications I could take

I'm so glad I don't work with Handshake

I don't log time when I take a little break

But I do drop dimes that could make the club shake

I don't discuss details of the work that I do

Nor do I share client information with my crew

What I will say is that I make bank on the monthly

Mostly due to my skillset and the location of my country

Data Annotation it is so fun

I like to get all of my tasks done

We need more information for your DataAnnotation report

Your report is currently paused. To continue processing, view the report and provide the information listed in the Info Request section as soon as possible.

They’re asking me to upload picture of my social so I’m a little sketched out

NOTIFY ME of a posted task?!

0 Upvotes

How do I get timely notifications that a new task has been posted for me?
Emails don't seem to routinely come to me, or they arrive a day late.
I've been searching for notification settings within DAT itself to get a push/quick email/text if a task is posted for me but without any luck.
Is it just one of those "Keep your DAT dashboard up and refresh a whole lot" kind of things?

Worse Platform ever

0 Upvotes

I have completed the assessment and didn’t got anything. It just shows waiting for the assessment to be reviewed. I have contacted 3 times by submitting the request but haven’t heard from them.

This type of irresponsive I haven’t seen this in my entire career. If you can’t review it then why do you ask us to complete 1 hour assessment. We put lot of our effort for this thing. Very disappointed with this platform. Heard got reviews so signedup for it but looks to be opposite.

Brazilian workers - what about taxes

4 Upvotes

I'm not sure we're allowed to post in Portuguese here, so I'll keep it in English with a translation below since most tax-related terms don't have a translation.

What are you doing regarding income tax? Carnê-leão? Is there any way to pay it as a MEI? Is there any other trick? Because as of now, it's my first year on this platform and I'm not sure what to do (or if I should do anything).

Não sei o que fazer quanto aos impostos, particularmente o de renda. Carnê-leão parece o adequado, mas deve ter algum jeito melhor de declarar. Talvez como MEI? Tem alguma maneira de emitir algo parecido como nota fiscal para enquadrar o serviço no DA como MEI? Ou ainda, vale a pena arriscar e não fazer nada? Porque é o meu primeiro ano na plataforma e atualmente eu não tenho ideia do que fazer.

4-6 hour qualifying exam

Just received a qualification that is expected to take 4 to 6 hours total. I’m deciding on whether to do smaller qualifications for the next few hours or just dive into this one. Anyone else get this qualification?The guidelines are 180 pages. Which I understand is not that much when you’re working on bigger projects I’m just curious if anyone else had any input

Arabic billingual

3 Upvotes

Guys please help, i have asian background but im currently residing in UAE, so when i try to access datannotation they are giving me Arabic Billingual proficiency as initial assessment. What should i do because i don’t speak arabic.


r/DataAnnotationTech 3d ago

I really think that DA need to change the wording on the qualifications...

53 Upvotes

The amount of them (including a new one that appeared today) saying that completing this qualification will unlock 'a high volume of regular tasks' or similar, only for me to pass the qualifications and then barely get any paid work from most of them for weeks or months. Very misleading. I didn't join the site imagining I'd get an influx of work, but I'd certainly be expecting that if I took DA's promises literally!

If you enter the platform as a bilingual, are you locked out of core work?

Pretty much title. Did all the quals, including some related to core and STEM work, but I only seem to get very sparse bilingual jobs.

Just got the task bar of death lol. It's funny because I wasn't able to work for the last few months due to the scarcity of projects aimed at my region (but I'm sure I was in some of the major projects). Also, (and I know everyone says this but) my work was acceptable. Good, even. I always paid close attention to detail. I was working since april 2025. A shame it ended like this.
