Finally got through to speak to a customer representative and I was told it doesn't apply to us so we can ignore it!

That's good news, they seem to make it very complicated to set up an account with them and not very clear instructions.

Appen have a nice easy speech recording one. Was 20 minutes between applying for it, being accepted and finishing the recordings.

Dear All,
I aapplied for Search Evaluator at Appen several days ago and they have reviewed my application and asked me to "qualify for the first project". Could anyone give me some idea what is it please.

Is anyone working on more than 1 project at the same time. I find 1 task a minute easy so have been doing peppermint and Imbler together, flicking between the two. I was going to try doing Sikta and Imbler at the same time but don’t want to get kicked off.

Hi If you log into your Appen account you will maybe see a list of projects. If you can qualify for a project you will see a green box next to it. Different projects have different ways to qualify.

Rattle, Elkhorn, Peppermint

Rattle is long-term but I've found the quality standards impossible and they do boot people! Expecting it not to last.

Elkhorn I've only just qualified for.

Peppermint the work has been very on and off as you can see from the thread but it's very easy work when it is there.

I've got invitations to qualify for Porter, both Sitkas, Stanford, Deshka and Cottonwood.

How are you getting on with elkhorn? I've just qualified and waiting for login details.

Pretty good so far! I haven't had my audit feedback yet though so we'll see. I do know they're on holiday this week and not sending out audits, quizzes, etc so you might be waiting until next week for login info!

That's good, I'm glad it's going well!

I had an email last night to say I've been moved to grasshopper and can work up to 40 hours so they must be needing more workers on that project at the mo. They sent the login too.
I wish there was more opportunity to practice and see which answers are correct. I've no idea what I scored on qualification. Fingers crossed I do okay :)
I also had another email asking me to take qualification for another project. They are busy!

How is everyone getting on with the Malta projects? Im finding them a bit hit and miss. I was on the Imbler one managed a few hours on that one before they said no work available. Im now on grasshopper - now saying no work available today (maybe some more will come up later on)


It seems like they put you on a project but the projects are not long term and its a rush to try and do as many hours as possible in a short amount of time.

I've been accepted and had the login details and an email telling me to work up to 40 hours this week and not below 20, but so far there has only been anything in the queue once so I can't even meet the min requirements.

Ive had the same ive managed two hours the last two days. Now there's nothing in the queue. I think the projects are very short and want to get the work out as quick as possible.

Seems that way. I'm still only seeing training queue and nothing to assign in work queue.

You can work the training work as well. That's what I got from the email - if work queue is finished start on training queue.

Oops yes you're right I am meant to be doing that queue too! Wonder if it's worth me starting now I've had login for 3 days so won't be working the 5 out of 7 this week?! I don't want to do 20 hours and not get paid.

I would just start see what you can do. The last one I was I never managed 20 hours as it finished before I had chance to do the hours. I had one day were there wast even work in the training queue.

Hi all. I got an email last Friday informing me I had passed the assessment and that I would receive an SRT email to start project cottonwood within 24-48 hours. I haven't heard a thing and have tried emailing them about it but so far have had no response. Is anybody else working this project who can shed some light on why this might be? Thanks.

This project is all part of the Malta group projects. I know end of the month/beginning of next is always busy with invoices and it might depend on when the cottonwood starts.

I was on Imbler for about a week then I was on grasshopper. The Malta projects at the moment seem like they shift and change depending on which one has work. (There are lots of the Malta group even I cant keep up today with the tests I took) It may mean there is no work on cottonwood yet and you will get the email once work has started.

They are definitely having some technical issues at the moment and the ticket system has a huge backlog which may explain the delay in hearing back from them.

Appen got a new project it seems


Greetings!

I am writing to you because you have registered on Appen Connect and expressed interest to take part in on-line projects. We are working on the improvement of speech recognition technology and we think you might be interested in taking part in this project.

Here are some of Project Atascaderodetails:

Appen is currently conducting a study to understand how we can improve the quality of day-to-day interactions with home smart speakers, such as Amazon Echo and Google Home. As part of this effort, we are currently looking for participants to share with us the transcripts of their voice commands to these types of home smart speakers.

We are looking for people who regularly use voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant) through their home smart speakers.
