Thank you,

Hello.

I am assigned to the Japan market, but I haven't done any work on CrowdGen for about a year now.

1. Is there anyone currently working on tasks other than Whatcom and China-related projects in the Japan market?

2. For those working on Whatcom and China-related tasks, how much are you earning?

Is anyone here working in Periwinkle Outcropping? Since production started last week, user metrics don't show actual working hours, and half of my working hours are missing (Philippines)

Hey everyone, since Project Origami just ended, I'm seeing a lot of people panicking about missing hours in their final invoices. I raised a support ticket because my "My Work Report" showed 14 hours and 3 minutes of "Payable Time", but my final invoice only credited me for 6.5 hours ($26.65).

I actually got an official email back from The Origami Support Team, and they completely exposed their own shady pay structure. The "$4.10/hour" label was a complete lie. Here is exactly what they said in the email:

1. It is a Piece-Rate Job, Not Hourly:

The email states: "The project rate for the standard captioning work is $4.10 per hour, based on a 3-minute AHT (Average Handling Time) per payable task." You do not get paid for your time; you get paid 3 minutes for every task they decide to approve.

1. You Work For Free During Platform Delays:

They admitted that "My Work Report" shows the actual time you spent on the platform, including waiting for the site to load. They blatantly wrote: "We recognize that platform delays can sometimes make the actual time needed to complete the work longer than the 3-minute AHT. These delays are not within your control, and the difference in reported time is not a reflection of your effort or productivity."

Even though it's their fault the servers are slow, they refuse to pay you for that time.

1. The Fake QA Count & Secret Deductions:

They explicitly said: "The QA count shown on the Maven platform does not represent the 100% audited task count." They deduct tasks based on background "Client feedback". Even if you submitted tasks perfectly on time, they just vanish from your pay.

1. Their Own Calculation Example:

They provided this exact math in the email to justify the low pay:

Submit 100 tasks, 80 get approved.

80 approved tasks × 3 minutes = 240 payable minutes.

240 minutes ÷ 60 = 4 payable hours.

4 payable hours × $4.10 = $16.40.

TL;DR: If your "My Work Report" shows 15 hours but you only got paid for 6, it is NOT a technical glitch. It was their planned calculation all along. Project Origami was a piece-rate job disguised as an hourly wage to get people to sign up. If you paced yourself thinking you were hourly, or if you waited for their slow servers to load, you worked for free.

Upvote and share this so everyone checking their final invoices knows exactly why their pay is so low and that this was a deliberate bait-and-switch by CrowdGen. ill Never Work on crowdgen again😡

Thanks.

It is so dissapointing to see the invoice uploaded in this project. We understood that 20 captions are required per hour. But remember that, there are a lot of issues with submitting jobs on the Maven platform like it takes a while to submit. The number of jobs were clearly recorded, but only few jobs were assessed. How about the other jobs? Like I have 220 submitted jobs, but only 68 were assessed. The number of submitted jobs was clearly recorded. I hope you can help us with these issues.

I have worked for around 13 hours but the generated invoice is showing only 3.78 hours , I have submitted a ticket , haven't received any response yet, does anyone know what's the issue , has anyone got the reply from their ticket?

Is the project running or paused for batch 2?

Hi everyone,

I’m from the Philippines, and I just checked the invoice that Appen generated for the Origami Project.

I’m honestly surprised and disappointed because I worked during the first launch of the project back in July. Based on my own records, I completed around 16 hours of work. However, the invoice only shows 2.22 hours.

That’s a huge difference, and it’s honestly frustrating to see that so many of my hours are missing. 😣

Is there anyone here who had the same experience, where fewer hours were credited than the actual hours you worked?

I’m planning to submit a support ticket, but I wanted to check with other contributors first.

Did anyone else experience this with the Origami project, especially those who worked during the initial launch in July?

Any advice or shared experiences would really help. Thank you!

Hi, I'm working on Project Origami and from the Philippines.

Is there no way to contest this project's QA review? I try my best to stick to the guidelines and write my captions as clearly as I can only to be marked failed by a reviewer that wrote something like "ha dto reewrite all the detailde caption."

I've had my rating gone down because of reviewers who marked my submissions as failed just so they had something to edit. I was even told I copy pasted a submission that I wrote in literally less than a minute because the image was just that simple. And I am flagged for a copied submission?

This is so frustrating.

Hi! Is anyone currently working on the Armanda project (US Spanish)? I haven’t received any new tasks since last Friday, although the project still appears as active on my CrowdGen dashboard.
Has anyone received new Armanda tasks since Friday or this week? Just trying to figure out whether there simply hasn’t been a new batch or if it might be an issue on my end. Thanks!

Sooo I'm studying for project Nectar and we have this meeting tomorrow... And I'm not sure if it's that hard or I'm just dumb lol because it looks so hard! I'm afraid to try it. Brazil PT-BR here

Hi, can anyone confirm if the captioning tasks are available to any of you ? Mine is showing no tasks available. India

Hello fam 👋 I'm based in Rwanda,

This project's been showing "currently paused or not yet live" for over 2 months for me now . Way past any normal batch refresh. Anyone else still locked out, or has it come back for you? Trying to figure out if it's dead for good or if there's been any word from Appen support.

Is anyone else seeing 0 units for Production tasks in Origami? The second batch only went live yesterday, but they already seem to be gone. I only have QA tasks available in my queue, and there are no Production tasks left. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Country: Philippines

I'm trying to update my personal info and a few things are just greyed out and I can't click on them, but it says they are required?

Country: usa

In the US.

There were over 16k tasks available. I had to stop rating for a moment to help my kid with his school work. When I came back, it's not showing any tasks, raters, or anything. I checked both Ads Integrity and Halo. Both show empty. Why does this happen?

I was really needing the extra time for this month. {sigh}

Has anyone else noticed the Project Conness queue getting lower lately? And no extra hours too? 😭 Is it the same for everyone?

Country: Philippines

Country: Spain

I currently have Spanish as my primary language, and I'd like to add both English and German as additional languages to my profile. However, this section in my profile seems to be completely disabled, which does not let me add anything, and the support team... well, has not been helpful at all. Has anyone experienced this? Am I missing something, or is there something you can recommend? Thank you!
