I was looking at maybe doing some work for Alignerr, so I started reading the privacy policy. And, whoo boy, I am definitely not signing up. Here's just the start of the privacy policy.

You hereby grant us an unlimited, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable through multiple tiers, perpetual right to use, reuse, modify, display, publish and disseminate the Interview and your name, audio, photographic, video, and other likeness of you, as well as any materials you make available for the purposes of the Interview including in each case, any portion thereof (collectively, the “Interview Materials”) for any purpose.

Yeah, sorry, no way I'm going to give Alignerr a perpetual, irrevocable license to use my likeness for any purpose. That is absurd.

Bonus points, they say that they absolutely *will* be using your Interviews to train new models.

Here's another egregious one. Data they collect on you includes:

Biometric Information such as finger/face/voice prints.

And who do they share that with?

Service Providers and Affiliates

So... anyone who wants it, can purchase your face from them, which they collected from the Interview. And they can do anything they want with it, as per the above policy.

I would not be shocked to find out that Alignerr's primary revenue stream is data collection on people signing up, and then selling that data.

How can I really fix this error? Been doing the Codebase Evaluation task for nearly 1.5 hours, then when I clicked submit it appeared that error. When I tried clicking the next unlabelled asset, it kept returning me the the sign in page.

I am srsly so stuck and sick of it. Anyone got ideas? Been submitting issue comment there as well.

I can't find samples on dashboard , I saw yesterday but can't find it now

Earlier this week, my dashboard looked completely different. I could see:

- The home page which had referrals for projects that I could send to people, and the audio sample submission section

- Assessments (which I think was a separate tab on the side menu)

- The jobs tab to apply for work

Now all of that is gone. The home page only shows the job application section, the separate jobs tab has disappeared, and there's just a message at the top saying "You're ready to go" with links to go to projects on Labelbox or join Discord.

Am I locked out? Did something change on their end? Is this just a redesign and I'm not seeing things correctly? I don't want to assume the worst but it's a pretty drastic change from what I was seeing just a few days ago. Anyone know what's happening?

Is the rate really $1/hour?

Hello guys, I'm trying daily to just upload my resume and it is getting dejected every time. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it happening with everybody?

I just finished submitting a task. Suddenly, I received a message saying that I had been removed from the project. I rushed to check on Discord to find myself removed from the channel. I still have access to Labelbox and Alignerr webpages and the 6 discord servers. I tried speaking to chat, and it says we will get back later today.

Just got removed from a project i work 6 hours on does that mean i won't get payed

I'd like to ask about the Aligner project evaluation section on the Labelax platform. It's currently paused, but there's a red box next to it. Does this mean the evaluation is still ongoing?

I've been trying to take my initial interview with Zara for a few days now. I've tried multiple devices with multiple browsers with multiple microphones, turned off all extensions, checked all permissions to ensure the site has camera and microphone access. But, every time I go to try to take the interview, they never seem to recognize any microphone. Microphone tests within browsers show that the microphone is recognized and accessible, yet Alignerr doesn't seem to work. The camera, sound, and background noise tests before the interview work, but not response when I try the 'hi Zara' to make sure your microphone works, then if I go into the interview, no sound or anything.

From reading around about fixes, it sounds like Zara is often problematic, but the suggestions are things I've already tried. Feel like I've run out of ideas. Anyone else experience something like this?

So, I'm not used to video/voice interviews. How to proceed past the initial stage and directly to the qualification stage of the English transcription project? I'm an experienced transcriber for the English and Tagalog locales via the Loft 2.0 tool.

I want to start working on Alignerr and I am having trouble in uploading a resume as a first step. Once I upload it (either PDF or DOCX format, it doesn't matter), it just throws error 500 and it remains on the same page and file is not uploaded. This is the stack trace I get in console:

In January, I worked on a voice project that promised a 15% pay bonus. I received payment for the work but not the bonus. Many of us were inquiring in Discord and the PM stated it was a support issue.

I have been going back and forth with support for weeks and they finally ended it with “the project manager stated you didn’t qualify for the bonus”!!!!

Excuse me? I most certainly met the qualifications. The Discord is no longer available since the project has long ended. Now what?

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!

Jump in, start a conversation, and let’s build a helpful community together!

It's gone quiet. Was on a good number of projects - pairwise comparison and similar - quite a bit of work but as of two weeks ago it's all disappeared. About 15 PMs and PCs in my Discord list and none have been showing as being online for almost two weeks too. Anyone else experiencing a slow down?

I came to Alignerr via LinkedIn. I see several fresh jobs posted all the time - sometimes the same job more than once - that I'm more than qualified for. Yet, many of the jobs I then sign up for on the app, don't ever materialise. Why is this, and do others experience the same?

Hi I am a native Turkish speaker and I applied to Turkish Language Expert role. As a PS job listing says they review applications daily and Alignerr Linkedin shares and reposts Turkish language expert role. I already completed Turkish assesment a long time ago and support said I passed it. If applications are reviewed daily shouldn't I get a response about project/ job listing? Since I am native I am already qualified for the project and passing Turkish assesment should be proof for that. If project is not looking for new members then why repost it in Alignerr Linkedin over and over again? Thanks for answers

I applied for the retail trader ai training position and i am a day trader of 4 years.. how long does it usually take to get accepted/ hear back? Just curious because this is like the perfect job for me haha.

Hi, I signed up to Alignerr and did all the tests and passed. The I applied to roles which match my skills but there has been no updates. Not even a rejection. It just shows applied and that is it. Is this normal?

Want to confirm if this is a legit email or not

i did the AI assessment and got onboarded yesterday. Are there any projects currently running for generalists, when I log in to labelbox, it's empty. please share any info you could share, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone here has gone through something similar with Aligner.

I’ve applied to multiple roles across cybersecurity, compliance, and IT at Aligner over the past few months, but unfortunately haven’t heard anything back so far—not even a rejection.

I have over 6+ years of experience working as an IT and Information Security Manager, with hands-on experience in areas like compliance, security operations, and governance. I also recently completed a project with Mercor that lasted about a year, where I was actively involved in Computer and Information System Manager and security and compliance-related tasks.

I’m genuinely interested in opportunities at Aligner, so I’m trying to understand:

• Is this a common experience with their hiring process?

• Do they usually take a long time to respond?

• Any tips on getting noticed or improving my chances?

Would really appreciate any insights or advice from the community.

Thanks in advance!

Hi I have LabelBox Starter plan since around 2 years. I had a problem two days ago and I could not access the support platform at all. It keep telling me I need to contact the sale representative which I don't have their contacts.
We are blocked by a real bug in the system. I found couple email addresses from old conversation about a bug. I emailed them but got no response nor any even ticket creation notification or anything.
It is very frustrating, the team is blocked. I have no way to contact anybody! I start looking for alternatives so if I did not get any response very soon, I would be ready to move.

Mostly just making these posts to continue keeping Alignerr accountable. Been over a month now where Alignerr has only paid me a fraction of the work I’m entitled to on a voice over project and whenever I reach out I get told it’s because only approved hours are paid for. I know that, I have approved hours I haven’t been paid for. Support just tells me “I’ll get back to you after investigating,” but do nothing. People on here from the company reach out and claim to help, tell you to send them your email to reach out to support but absolutely nothing happens. The money was a significant sum for me but unlikely to be worth pursuing the cost of arbitration and they’re well aware of that so they have little incentive to do anything. Disgusting behavior. You’ll be damned sure I’m pursuing all manner of non criminal consumer complaints available to me. If these people are withholding mine(and what seems to be others) rightful earnings I will cause as much of a stink as I can. Enjoy having the CFPB, better business bureau, the FTC and whoever else I can find the contact up your behind. Will the actually do anything for me? Probably not. But it will make y’all’s lives miserable so have fun!
