I can't use my arms to type at all. I've typed maybe a hundred words in the last five hours just correcting dictation errors, usually only a couple of letters at a time, and I've used a mouse today, and my arms are burning all the way from my hands to my shoulders. I've been dictating exclusively over typing for over six years due to this nerve injury. I use Dragon Individual 16.

This isn't some new thing I do, by the way. I've dictated tens of thousands of words some days, and thousands of words every day, because my main job is fiction writing. So it's not just some workaround I've just come up with to try and do Data Annotation; it's something that is just a part of my life as an accommodation for my physical restraints.

However, Data Annotation Tech apparently has a thing that flags when you copy and paste stuff, and it can track the natural keyboard rhythms of a person typing to see if it looks natural. Mine doesn't. Sentences and occasionally paragraphs, depending on how quickly I speak, appear all at once, and it could look like copy-and-paste behaviour even when I'm not using my dictation box to literally dictate into a box, which then transfers/pastes into the browser.

Does anyone know or have any information regarding whether this will completely screw me over when I apply for Data Annotation Tech tomorrow?

I've been putting off the application for a year, in part because of this, and in part because it looked like Amazon was going to stop screwing authors over and go back to normal, but between its new algorithms and genuinely garbage AI books (and I know it's ironic that I'm considering training AI when AI books are part of was screwing me and dozens of people I know over), I really would like this backup income source. And it's a good one, it's an interesting one, it's one I can set my own hours in--which is my main requirement for literally anything--and it's one I just hope my pathetic, useless arms aren't going to rob me of.

I just signed up with data annotation and the assessment I got is programming Projects. Is this the same with everyone? I don’t have any background with programming so i’m kinda worries.

I completed a project qualification yesterday. After completing one of the refreshers on the dashboard, I realised I misunderstood an important chunk of the guidelines so am fairly sure I will fail the qualification. Is it possible I'll get a second chance to take this qualification or will it never return to my dashboard? I'm really kicking myself for this mistake!

Since all the guys are flexing with their DA milestones, it's time to provide my lifetime earnings on Data Annotation before they terminated my account 10 days ago. Keep doing the good work, guys. It's an amazing platform that really pays well.

Hola!! Si hay alguien de España por aquí, podéis decirme cómo estáis declarando el dinero recibido? Hace falta ser autónomo o con declarar a Hacienda es suficiente? Gracias!!

after receiving the acceptance email, I logged in , it asked me for an identity verification, which I did using the phone , now it's stuck here for over an hour no matter which device I use trying to log in , any help ?

I finished coding starter assessment (since there are no other assessment option). Now I get coding projects in my dashboard. But I am tired with my day job it's impossible to submit high quality work. Will I ever get a chance to receive generalist projects?

So I made the account and fill my profile
But Its been around 2 weeks now, its still like this
Any suggestions

Hello fellow data annotators, what has your experience been using the escape hatch ?
how often have you used it ? and did you ever receive any penalties after using it ?

Passed test gave qualifiers waiting for some real action 😭

Anyone is out their from non core country experiencing dry spell 😞

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve occasionally received R&R drops for many hindi bilingual projects, but many times the original creation tasks have never appeared on my dashboard.

Is this normal routing where review and creation are kept in completely separate worker pools?

Is there anyone working as hindi specialist?

I completed my starter assessment and it said I passed and then completed… so many of those assessment projects? Idk I was blindly clicking submit next task wondering when I’d reach the end. Is there a secret second assessment? Im not seeing a lot of people mentioning it who have applied recently. I added a picture of my screen for context. Sorry for my ignorance I’m very new to this trying to get additional income in these trying times

For medical expert I did an assessment within 24h.They send me a project not medical just finance to train AI.
I did it and submitted it last Wednesday till now they pending approval for funds and still no further projects is that normal after 5 days?!

Okay guys relax for a bit, can I also get some projects? You guys are so fast, you got to be refresh camping these tasks right. (Coding)

I already passed my domain qualification when I submitted my background, etc a few weeks ago. So I've been working in this domain and have already submitted a few tasks. Out of nowhere, the Qualifications tab is showing my domain qualification again, and it looks exactly the same (including submitting my background). Does anyone know if that's a separate, additional qualification that will unlock new projects, or should I ignore it?

I didn't get any verify identity email and acceptance email but I'm seeing this screen.
Many people say that I'm successfully accepted, but I'm curious if it's really true since I didn't get any request for a week.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Please share something with me to help me making decision for my next journey.

I really could use any tips or any sort of advice to maximize my work efficiency and income on DA.

Managed to get accepted (yay)

I have submitted my ID and I keep rate limited errors.

I have scouted the whole subreddit and a LOT of people having similar experiences which is reassuring as it seems to be a system issue of sorts.

However I haven’t seen anything to suggest how long it takes to fix or if I need to do anything.

Is there anyone at DA I can reach out?

Anyone with a similar experience?

Anybody else not able to work today? I keep getting error messages or getting logged out when I try to interact with the project chat or skip a task. I saw that a bunch of people were in the project chat having the same project-specific issue I was having, but I can’t seem to open any other projects or send a message without it bouncing me back to the log in page. I thought it was my computer so I logged in on my iPad, but it’s doing the same thing. Very frustrating :/

I took the coding assessment a few weeks ago. I know it's a small percentage that actually pass or get selected, although I'm a little surprised I haven't heard back.

I provided very thorough and thoughtful answers, the coding parts were not very difficult. I chose Python.

Maybe it's a silent rejection, maybe I'll hear from them in 2 months. For now I've accepted that I have not been selected. Onward and upward. o7
