Does anyone know about a Lionbridge transcription project? When I go to WorkMarket it’s saying I have an available job.

View attachment 1075

I know you’re only meant to do one project though?
bad experience!!!! I left it,my friend left it. Tool is very bad impossible to do anything. We did Lithuanian (because native speakers), but never again. Stupid system, thei give you 20 mins to do 1 task, but in real you need 1-2 hours to do it.

Hello,

This email is to inform you that you have been removed from the Social Media Evaluator program because you have had high amounts of rating inconsistency for at least 3 of the past 10 weeks.

We would like to thank you for your contribution to our program until now. From now on, please do not complete any additional ratings.

Thank you,

The Lionbridge SME Team"

This project was my main money to live :(

yes I did. I get lots of the same ads, my rating was 100% honest and not mechanical. Sometimes when you see ads everyday it become not so bad (for example you could rate you dont want to see, but after few weeks you realise this ad not so bad and deal is useful so dont mind to see it). Probably because that :( when was lockdown was useful and relevant online yoga, gyms apps etc, but now I am not interested anymore, do not want to see and useless for me anyway. seems I needed to do as robot without changing minds. Oh well.

I had the same issue with this type of role with Appen. I was asked to rate some adverts that were clearly spam, full of lies/deceit, etc. I stated this in the rating review and quickly got canned. Now I block/report every single advert I see on my personal social media feeds.

oh yes, spam ads! had lots of them! But few of them had very nice picture and I would be happy to see it just because of picture - attractive and eye catching doesnt even matter service or product etc.

It’s odd as I thought social media rating work was always subjective rather than objective so if I don’t want to buy a mattress or whatever I just rate it so regardless of how good the ad might look

Maybe, the advertisers themselves weren't too keen on the scatching language I used!

I am once again reminded me the query that I rated wrong in their eyes that made me lose my Web Search Evaluator work at Leapforce!

Dear Jonathan,

During a recent quality inspection of your evaluation tasks, we noted one or more that were rated incorrectly:

Query: cunts on a barge
URL: http://is-a-cunt.com/category/angela-merkel/
Your Rating: Slightly Meets
Correct Rating: Fails to Meet
Feedback: The page has keyword matches to the query, but is overall unrelated - there is no mention of anyone being on a barge.

there is a format I think they like, I remember being sent an evaluation which wasn't great for ads rating then someone said this is the type of sentence you should use on another forum, I followed that advice, never had a problem and was moved up to the other rating tool pretty quickly afterwards. I cannot remember what the sentence was though.

I've just applied for some work on teemwork.ai, used to be called something else. Anyway working for them and is it possible to work for them and Appen? I know Lionbridge and Appen don't like you to work for both but I wonder whether this also applies to other similar companies.

As with ANY online work putting all your eggs in one basket and using it as your sole income is a risky venture (i've been burned by that twice before, once with 63336/Text Bongo and then with Leapforce) when you lose the work out of nowhere you are left in a very 'oh fuck, now what' situation so from then on i've always tried to have my fingers in as many pies as I can when it comes to earning online so that if one left me I wouldn't be up the crapper!

How long did it take to get in with Teemwork? I apply for things and never hear anything back.
