@Cclaire i have and was wondering the same. I’ve done a bit of digging in the internet and I suspect it’s pay per phrase, or similar. So may be typing like the clappers for about 2p per line. I’m not holiding our much hope! If I find anything out I’ll let you know.

Thanks @Lizziew24. I tried asking them but they don't seem keen to say!

I finally heard from Appen today about a position, been 6 months, but reading the e mail it's says you need a Smartphone of less than 3 years old, mine is around 4-5, I have e mailed them to see what they say. Are all the jobs done by smartphone, I prefer to use a laptop with keyboards?

I imagine it's WSE work and they push the site you are going to review on your laptop to your phone that's all

I can't see the age of the phone being an issue

@Cclaire got an email this morning to say this was first come first served so I’ve been deregistered from “project iceberg”. Bloomin fuming. I responded straightaway when I hit the invitation. Never get anywhere with Appen. Bah.

I've just applied for lots of Appen roles, I'm hoping I get through to at least one :p

It will be my main income source if I get it

I’ve been nothing but messed around by Appen. It’s over a year since I applied and I think I’ve been offered 6 positions for them to retract the offer at the last moment. So frustrating! Oh well, onwards and upwards!!

I got accepted even though I didn't bother replying to the invite or doing any test since I can't do transcription work because my dog barks at every single noise

I keep getting an email about that one saying 'We look forward to having you on this project' etc etc and then no follow up emails. Haven't filled anything in or anything. I wish they'd just send me some instructions so I can start!

Same here @luckyj142 im fed up of it. Apparently the “iceberg” I was deregistered from is different to the transcription one, so I’m still going to hear back and they are looking forward to having me. Yeah right! :p

Just got the email this morning to say that Leapforce had been bought out by Appen, hence our change in payment methods that they alluded to last month. Not sure what else this will mean, Appen turned me down when I applied to them.

I got invited to this on 31 August. I did a transcription test and received a follow-up email on 4 September saying they have forwarded my profile to the project manager for further review. Heard nothing since though it was only three days ago.

Well I got another email saying I should hear soon so I replied to ask what they were playing at. Seemingly some admin error their end. So, My details are with one manager and should be reviewed soon, and I’m waiting to hear back about their amazing opportunity on another project which turns out to be a 2 hour test for about £1.50. I seriously hope that some decent project comes along soon. o_O

Can't find an OT appen thread so asking this here :)

I've been invited for a voice recording job but I can't do it as I'm away. Do I need to log in and decline the offer or can I just ignore the email? I haven't done any work for Appen yet and I don't want to be blacklisted before I've even had a chance to get started!

If you can't do it, you can't do it so I would just decline
