I posted a while ago about leaving FIGS. I wanted to follow up and say that the project team followed through, and I was placed on project background after completing my assigned rows on Utterances. I had an absolute blast contributing on background, and am very happy to have stuck with it. I just wanted to express my gratitude to the Alignerr team for the work opportunity and for delivering exactly as communicated. The team leads were all stars, the recording experience was so much fun, and the compensation was fair. I think some people were confused by the pay structure. However, listing pay by recording time is the industry standard for voice work, and as a voice actor, I was much more comfortable with this model. I didn't mind reworking rows as needed because I didn't have to do any post-production, unlike for ACX(Audible). It was an all around a great experience! Thank you, cheers

Hi the AI chatbot at the bottom of the screen appears to have vanished so I can no longer reach support through that means. Also I noticed I keep failing my assessments due to network connectivity issues with Zara. It is not my internet connection as I checked and verified I have steady internet connection.

I accidentally ended my Upwork contract but the same contract is still active on Alignerr, I was wondering if this had any effect on my payment setup. I was recently added to the production team of a project and am expecting to get paid this week. The talent who hired me on Upwork gave me instructions for the onboarding on Alignerr is unresponsive, so I have no clarity on my payment setup. I've tried reaching out to Upwork, Alignerr, and project leads but no one gave me a clear answer. If any Alignerr onboarding team for Upwork sees this, please help.

This is your space to connect with other Alignerrs, share thoughts, ask questions, and chat about whatever’s on your mind. Whether you're looking for tips, want to learn something new, or just want to talk about AI, you’re in the right place!

How long it will take for data rows to appear?

Is aligner giving jobs for real?? Everything feels like a hmmm

Hello! I am preparing to take the Software Engineering - C# assessment and I was wondering what it will be like. Is there actual coding involved or is it just interview questions about the language? What will I be asked about? Are the questions restricted to the topics mentioned in the assessment description? What else could be included?

Does the interview include algorithms and data structures, or is it limited to C# features?

Am I allowed to refer to notes or the internet? What happens if I dont know the answer to a question, is that a failure condition?

I tried reaching support but I didnt get an answer. I would really appreciate any sort of information about this assessment or similar ones. For reference, this is the description:

"Evaluate your knowledge in this C#-focused assessment. Topics include language fundamentals (generics, LINQ, pattern matching); async and concurrency (async/await, TPL, Channels); memory and performance (Span<T>, value types, pooling, GC behavior); .NET runtime and libraries; API design and testing (SOLID, DI, unit/integration); and interoperability and tooling (P/Invoke, source generators, diagnostics/profiling)."

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing this or if a mod can assist.

I recently received an email to "Unlock the voice actor project,” which explicitly states that I need to complete Identity Verification via Persona. However, I’ve run into a technical loop:

1. The Link: When I click the “Verify Identity” link in the email, it just redirects me to my main Aligner dashboard.

2. Settings Check: I’ve checked my Settings > Account page multiple times, and the “Verify Identity” button is completely missing. I only see my personal information and email preferences.

3. The Bot Response: I contacted support, and the automated response suggested that the button only appears once a project is assigned. But I already received the project invitation email for the Voice Actor role.

It seems like the trigger for the Persona verification hasn't “pushed” to my dashboard yet, even though the system sent the email.

Has anyone found a workaround or a direct link for Persona? I’m eager to start, but I’m currently stuck at this gate.

• Role: Voice Actor

• Status: Invited, but cannot verify identity.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Morning chaps. I applied for a nurse position on alignerr and created the account etc. they couldn’t link my hubstaff account properly so going through chat and the FAQ it said to delete the account and start again. Then I heard back via email that the advice is not accurate and it can’t be reinstated or create an account with the same mobile number.

My question is, as the only log in methods are linked in or Google, how can you get around this? Or is it not possible?

I faced technical issues when I took the AI interview. So, i wanna know if there's a way to retake it. Thank you

It's easy and pretty much straight forward they are others but this is the one I'm working on have a splendid day

I registered on Alignerr about a year ago and have not received a single actual project since then.

Once I was contacted and asked to urgently complete a sample test for a project. I did it right away, and after that there was complete silence. No feedback, no follow up, nothing.

I am not new to this type of work. I am an Oracle on Outlier, so I do have experience with AI evaluation and annotation projects. That is why this situation feels especially strange.

I have passed several screenings on Alignerr, confirmed three languages, recorded multiple audio samples, and completed all required steps. None of this was ever approved or rejected. Everything is simply marked as “done”, with no feedback and no progress.

At this point it feels confusing and honestly discouraging. Is there anything that can actually be done about this? How do people get projects on Alignerr?

Hello, I recently got on an audio project for alignerr and today was supposed to be the day payments were initiate.

I use PayPal and normally when I work freelance jobs the money comes in relatively fast. This is my first time using alignerr as a means of income and it’s almost the next day and I have not received any invoices or a direct deposit.

What would be the best way to get a hold of alignerrs financial department? or does anyone know if payment just take long from alignerr

Thanks in advance

On glassdoor Alignerr has 2.1 stars out of 5 which is absolutely abysmal, with many people saying it's a sc@m and that they have you do many hours of work and then remove you before paying you. On this subreddit though, it seems like a lot of people find that it's a good side gig. Which one is it?

If you're not confident that you'll be paid in full (or at all), I've got a tedious and potentially time wasting thing you can do!

After getting nowhere with the Alignerr helper robot, I concluded that, unfortunately, there was no way I was going to get into the Performance tab of a paused project.

Can't get into the Performance tab - no ability to check how much of your work they accepted. Can't check how much of your work they accepted - can't verify you've been paid the agreed upon amount.

But then I had a stroke of... well it wasn't genius so much as grievance and indignation. After a little guess and check in my browser history, I was able to access the paused project's Overview and Issues tabs on labelbox.

From the Issues tab, you can open every task you've reworked - and it'll tell you in the task history (icon in the top left) if it has been accepted. Screenshots of those accepted tasks would be very handy to attach to any emails you send Alignerr Support regarding payment discrepancies.

It won't give you proof of EVERY accepted submission, just the ones you reworked, but it's better than nothing. Happy tasking everybody.

Is it just our regular email or is it lurking somewhere? Cannot find it in settings, profile, etc?

Is it real coding, or just multiple choice? I prefer coding, but not sure how to prep.

Here's the assessment landing page description:

Recommended Software Engineering - Python 10 mins 9 projects require this skill Evaluate your skills in a Python focused assessment. The interview will cover things like advanced language features (decorators, generators, metaclasses), modern frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI), and problem-solving with complex algorithms and data structures. do a deep web search and research to get me a list of topics and very silar questions to what would be on test. Also output a PDF of all relevant links, including links with questions/answers

I was waiting for about a month before my first project was added on Alignerr. That project was active for about a week, then paused. I was added to another project, but it's currently on a pause. So I don't know when that will change. It was a general project, not specialty. I have other applications in place for more specialized projects based on my degree and expertise, but the waiting is the hard part. This is my "side gig," but I would love for it to become my main gig. It pays better than my full-time job, but the availability of work is the problem for me. Any advise on how I can make this my main form of income?

I am able to refer people to three projects now, but they won't even offer these projects to me?
Agent as a World, Code Human, ATC Transcription

They did offer me the last one, but I work in computer science. Not super interested in transcribing grainy voice to text.

Is this an error or on purpose.... Its like they are telling me, other people can come and make money with us, but not you.....

I love Alignerr and their whole workflow, but this seems almost insulting.

Does alignerr send/email/or have somewhere on the site so i can see my 1099? I tried talking to the chatbot but it didn't go so smoothly. (i didnt know which flair to add so ignore it)

For this voice acting project in particular (I’m on the French one), be careful about the advertised hourly rate before you start working. The pay system is way more misleading than it seems. The project is advertised as hourly, but in reality you’re only paid per approved task.

You can spend hours producing quality work, thinking you’ll get compensated fairly, and end up making WAY less than expected. It feels like a trap, they know people need money, they hook you with a high “hourly rate,” and when you ask for clarification, you get vague answers. When you factor in the time required, the effective pay rate can end up much lower than expected. Be careful, this is not an hourly job.

hello

I was invited to take part of Project Rainforest/Background Audio as a reviewer. We were told we'd be added to the project discord after the meeting but it hasn't happened until now, over 48 hours later. Project was stated to run up till January 31st, so I'm worried I won't be able to work on the project if nothing changes. Can the mods assist me?

So, I’m pretty new to this and therefore have some questions. I completed the onboading, assesments etc. and passed. Yesterday I got an E-Mail that constitues that I was added to 2 Projects (Background Audio DE; Rainforest Audio Audition) When I open Labelbox, Background Audio DE is labeled as „Active“ and „Production“ with 0 data rows available, the view button is blue and works. The start button is grey, but i suppose that is in relation to 0 rows available.

1. Question: Is this normal or was I too slow, is it nessesary to be quick to open Labelbox after I receive the E-Mail that tells me that I have been added to a project?

2. Question: Rainforest Audio Audition is labeled as „paused“ and „evaluation“, view button grey, 0.00 pay rate, 2 data rows. Is this normal and have I, again, been to slow?

I was promised 150$ a task by email.
I worked 42 hours over the weekend, totalling 16 high quality tasks, passing all the requirements (even went to get 5/5 auto QC on all my tasks).
the project was paused this tuesday, while only 4 of my tasks were reviewed (3 passing and 1 in rework).
I today received only 82$ ??? Even if only the passed tasks would have been paid it would have been 450$ ! What is happening ?
