hi ive been working on Jamuna and have recently been told I've been promoted to the escalator role but have found not much work I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this and if it gets more work eventually?

I registered with Appen last week - attempted one of the initial tasks which it said I needed to do before being able to move onto others. When I log on now, a week later, I cant get onto any other page apart from one which says

"Thank you for completing the required forms. Your documents have been received, and after we review them, we will finalize your registration.

A follow-up email will be sent if we notice any discrepancies in your paperwork."

At the top of the page there is 'All Projects' title which is clickable but the same page remains.
Im not sure what they mean by 'your documents have been received' and I havent received any emails from them

Is there an email address for contractors to message them? Theres just an international phone number on the Contact Us page

I had an email from Appen today, I don't normally get emails from them. Telling me about 2 projects, one called Meiss which is about sign language so I can't do that one as I don't know any. The other one was called Carr so I've applied for that one. Just wondering, because they've emailed me does that mean it's more likely I will get accepted now? Because all of the other ones I applied for when I first joined I still haven't heard anything about.

This is my screen at the minute...

I'm sure you don't mean to ask questions that involve a crystal ball but take it as a good thing that they have emailed! Appen are very random and take it for what it is. Sometimes they tell you you're on a project and then you never hear a thing back. Well that's my experience anyhow. I am on Carr too but haven't started yet as I'm struggling to get a moments peace with the kids. Plus the pay is pretty dire for 200 recordings.

Haha, I just wondered if getting an email from them (because this is the first time in months) is a sign that work might start coming through soon. What's the pay by the way? I didn't even look.

I was accepted onto Carr yet cant get on as there are no prompts at the moment. I have been told it was a temporary problem that has been fixed and I will be able to use it but that has not happened.

I did Carr last month - Im still waiting for it to show on my invoice. Fairly straight forward task. Im waiting for work on alum now which seems to be of the same kind of thing.

Which projects currently have the most work?


It varies project to project and how lucky you are to get the work. Most of the projects Im on at at the moment are on a first come first served basis and the work comes in batches. Which are hit or miss as to when the batches come through.

For me Im not really being invited on long term projects.

Im on bane - hit and miss as to when work is (Ive done about two hours this month which is not bad for this one)

Peppermint - some months I hear and others I dont. About an hour work a month if Im lucky.

Recurring matla queues - went really well last month - I got work every weekend and on average did about 12 hours per weekend. But this month they seem to be having a bit of an issue with queues yet to see it if improves.

Every so often I get invited to do some audio recordings - had one last month and one this month but they are random and no set project.

Ah right - how did you get onto Peppermint and Malta? There's no option for me to apply.

You just have to wait and see what projects get sent to you. Its luck of the draw and no way to apply for projects that you are not sent out to. I think peppermint is pretty much over. The Malta projects go by lots of different names.

Anyone able to tell me how long it takes before your account gets active on Appen? It says you need to qualify for a project first, but i've applied and it still says they're currently in progress.

I've had an email today saying I've qualified for the Alum job, I can't even remember what it was? I've signed all the paperwork, just got to wait for them to review it.

It's recording 200 prompts, which is expected to take 30 minutes.
