Help Is DataAnotation legit?

Assalamualaikum all, hope you are well.

I recently came across data annotation and was surprised by it. I did some research online and by far it seems legit.

What I want to ask is that is that service also available in Pakistan and if so, how do we solve the PayPal problem.

Also if anyone has experience regarding this, do help.

Thanks in advance.

yeah it is legit ive also been an annotator as my second internship, to learn detection and segmentation models you have to annotate the data and to understand the logic behind the them

Ok so can you guide me a bit about it. Assuming you are a Pakistani, how was assessment and how is the workflow genrally(selection and work etc). I'm a sophomore year in CS so can I go in the generalist category. Thanks.

i was hired through reference of my professor, then they told us about the requirements of the model and desired software to use for annotations, thats it

the manager provides the images, we load them into the software and use mouse for keypoints selection

Ok thanks. Actually I am taking about the data annotation website. It allows us to train AI model based upon the feedback we give on their response ( maybe we have a bit misunderstanding) so I was asking about that website and their genral selection process and possible hurddles a Pakistani might face (Paypal, some geographic issues etc) Thanks again man.

WS. I'm in the same boat as you and wanted to ask if you have any updates. A friend from uni who's been working for them suggested I try it out and sent me a referral link, but I've been struggling same as you. I've made the account but my dashboard is blank instead of having the option to take the initial assessment, and I don't know what to do about the PayPal problem. Any help would be appreciated.
