Hi guys,

I am looking to sign up to Appen (although the rhetoric is currently a bit negative here about it) and was after some help.

At signup they ask for a CV or Business Profile. May I ask what they mean by Business Profile?

Thanks
CV is absolutely fine :)

Don't think I'm going to bother with them anymore - only did a couple of phone conversation jobs with them anyway but they seem to have gone downhill from what I have been reading on here :(

Has anyone been offered/applied for the Crescent project? I can't see whether it's a one-off thing or an ongoing one ...?

Ive completed one Noyo project and was paid $5

Ive also completed the Carmel project - but not to sure as to how the pay works for this one as another automatic invoice one.

Another day, another email from Appen about the voice recordings. They've been made aware that the transcription bit is taking longer than expected and suggest using the voice to text function available in phones to speed things up. IF you do the task there's better paying tasks coming and you'll be first in line, honest!
There's still no way I'm doing it. I resent that I spent any time on the task.

That's exactly what I ended up doing. Pasting in the 'Hey ******' bit and then using voice.
There was so much to correct that it took longer often and the whole thing took me somewhere between 7-8 hours!

Hi there, I have received an email saying I have been invited to the Carmel EN-UK Collection task with details about what the task entails but no information on how to access it ... did you have a similar thing?

Yes I had to wait till the tasks opened - I got sent an email when they were opened but I remember some tasks closed early so you will have to be quick - basically it was a bit like the speech one - but a lot quicker as all I needed to do was type different answers. I got paid $35 which took around 2 1/2 hours to do.

I've been working for Appen since February on the same project & really happy with it. Takes less than an hour a day. Just going through the qualification process for another project so fingers crossed on that.
It's just a waiting game I'm afraid

Ah ... OK .. I got the email to say I was "in" and logged into the Appen portal straight away - however the status of the task is still "In Progress" and not "Work This"? I have sent a reply to their email - but as yet haven't had any response ... I will wait and see. Sounds easier than the Fletcher task though :)

Good luck! I was in the same situation a month ago until eventually they emailed again to say that the task was now full. I really don't understand how they work! lol

I've done my first survey on it - what happens now? It says in the guidelines that I don't need to do anything to be paid for (I'm already set up on Payoneer etc) but I keep getting emails asking me to do the survey?

The payment appeared on my invoice - both for Noyo and Carmel. I've already got an invoice set up as draft due to the other projects I'm working on. One day the payments just appeared. I did see the messages through not to submit your invoice before the 4th of June I think if they were not showing on the invoice.

Has anyone received an email about the new UK English voice rating project or worked on a similar project before? I am obviously suspicious about the 2.7 hours quoted for the task - the rate of pay is borderline acceptable, but it wouldn't be worth doing if it were to take any longer.

Yeah I got that email today and the same thing I thought was “I bet it takes longer!”

I received an email about the voice rating task which said register your interest but we haven't decided on the pay yet. My first thought was they were waiting to see if they had enough interest so they could offer a lower fee. I also though they were probably underestimating the time again. I decided not to bother with it. It's sad but I just don't have much faith in Appen anymore.
