New Appen project - 20/30 hours a week commitment. Just wondering if this is the same as my current Lionbridge SME job, - my year is up in May but let's say my some HUGE quirk of fate I get accepted for this one, will they also realise about my Lionbridge job
PROJECT OVERVIEW:

Sutherland consists of various tasks focusing on improving the accuracy of our client’s tooling. Consultants will be selecting entities from various document types.

Web Search evaluators work 4-6 hours a day (Saturday through Friday) depending on current project opening opportunity. Evaluators commit to be available to complete a minimum of 20 production hours each week when data is available.
If you are currently doing the ad rating one then I don't think it is the same project. If you are doing something else then most likely you will realise whether or not it's the same project from the guidelines. The advice I received is that you should avoid doing the same project as they actively look for duplicate IP addresses and you get chucked out of the project for both companies.

So if it's the IP address they look for, does that mean that it doesn't matter if you apply to LB and Appen with the same email as long as you don't apply for the same jobs, or is a different email for both the thing to do?

same job or sometimes the same end client. If they match your IP to both platforms you risk looking both roles.

You can apply- you will see quite quickly if its the same type of thing and then drop it after. It's only if you start rating will you get into issues.

Also some roles you can only ever do once. once your time is up you can't apply again on that even with another client.

Anyone on prohject Harpeth - speech recording. Ive faffed about for the last half an hour, whatever I record in whatever background it requires, its still saying your voice is too low. Trust me, my voice is NEVER low but I am literally yelling HEY FACEBOOk at the phone. My neighbors are probably a bit concerned by now....

I did it yesterday and got the same error-type message but just ploughed on. I got notified this morning that they'd accepted it and to my surprise, it seems to be the full whack. I fluffed a lot and towards the end I didn't care.

just tried it again...confuuuuuuuused! So when it says 'communicate with a conversational bot in the context of wanting to send a message to your spouse', what am I supposed to say? It is 'hey portal, send Fatboy a message about leaving the car outside' or just 'hey porta I want to send a message to fatboy about leaving the car outside?

I have absolutely no idea! There were times when I forgot which one I was asking, then I forgot to say it at the beginning anyway and blurted it out. I said stuff like, "Hey portal, call Jed about Jocasta's homework."

Because you're asked to use different or several names, I found it handy opening a tab/website with top 50 names or something so you get a good mix. Seriously mine was a joke but it got through. I was expecting a 'thanks but no thanks' message.

I can see it on 'all projects' (page 6 on mine). I didn't fancy it.

Just going through the guidelines for Sutherland/Malta - this is my first big task so v.worried I'm going to get it wrong and chucked off. God, they do complicate things on Appen...

Can anyone please help me as I'm very new to Appen.
I signed up for the 3 Facebook data collector projects beginning with N. I have recieved an email from each one saying 'You have been invited to work for a new project: You are eligible to join the project, the qualification workflow should take less than one minute to complete!'
However there is no link in the email and when I log in to Appen there is nothing for me to click on related to this. And under the projects I have applied for it says that these 3 are still under review and there is nothing more for me to do.

I'm just confused as the email seems to suggest I have been approved to work on these projects. Do I just need to wait for another email or do you think there has been an error?

Thank you for any help you can give.

You will receive emails for these projects to let you know how to access them once you are fully approved to start work on them.

Thats great. Thanks for your help.

I have heard that Appen need your CV. However I wasn't asked for my CV when I registered and I havent had an email asking for it. Do I just need to wait for an email or should I have been asked for it when I registered?

Is anyone else doing Paluxy?

It's the gift and card annotation. I'm having a right mare with it. I did the test and then they sent me some to do, which I thought was another test but now I'm not so sure. Then the other night I got timed out. And then last night, after 2 hours I'd only done 11. Then, instead of being able to save and go, they call it 'giving in'. I shouldn't be worrying I suppose because re-scanning the instructions, I think I may get chucked off anyway.

I went to find chat or something on the project page but now getting told there isn't any work, even though they sent me the email earlier this afternoon and I've worked on it. I've now noticed I should have sharpened up because it's one of their $14 ph ones.

Sorry for rabbiting on but I think I'm trying to get my thoughts in order and settle my utter confusion over this. I may have to put a ticket in tomorrow and get someone to explain this to me in big letters.
