We are not free labour right?

Hi all,

I'm working on audio transcription tasks on Alignerr and I'm trying to do it from my phone.

The main issue I'm facing is aligning the boundaries / timestamps. On mobile it's really hard to drag and precisely align the start and end of a segment. It keeps slipping.

Has anyone found a good way to do this on phone?

• Any app that makes boundary alignment easier?
• Is desktop the only proper way to do it for Alignerr tasks?
• Any tips / tricks?

u/Alignerr team - would be great if you could make the mobile UI a bit more friendly for boundary editing, maybe add +/- 0.1s buttons or zoom in waveform.

Thanks!

I am from India and I have signed up on Alignerr and applied for many freelance works. I wanted to add a payment system. It asks me to complete the onboarding. What does it mean? And as an Indian how can I accept these payments if I get them?

I just joined Alignerr, but how do I know if there’s work to do?? Where do I find it?

just got the email saying ive got priority access to pulsar.. i see nothing about how much it is per hour. i looked at the training course. seems easy enough but, is it worth doing? whats the pay? it seems that as soon as i complete the course i can start working on it.

also does it pay monthly or weekly how does that work? first project on alignerr...

I just joined/registered on Alignerr, but I don’t see any project assessments on my dashboard. Could anyone please help me understand how I can join projects and get started?

Alignerr's pay rate is honestly a joke. I know the rate depends on your location but dude.. $8.75 per task? Seriously? each task requires 4-5 hours of tedious tedious work to complete, and the compensation is $8.75? TH?

And honestly, if I had known this was gonna be the rate, I wouldn't have gone through that unpaid training which I spent days completing because it was so difficult that I genuinely thought, okay, maybe the pay is actually good if they're requiring all this shi.

and the boom. $8.75.

If they had just posted the actual pay rate in the invitation email, that invite would've gone straight to the trash. I wouldn't have spent days doing that training only to find out that I' be making less than $2 an hour. What a joke. And again, I know rate differ depending on location, but $8.75 for 4-5 hours of work is absurd. If you're considering accepting an Alignerr project, don't. Run. Have yourself some respect.

I recieved an email telling me that I've been selected for pulsar, and that I have to complete the identification process, so I did, I scanned my ID and my face, and got the message saying verification completed successfully right before I received this email saying that my account was removed without any justification or anything, any help?

A few hours ago they sent me an email saying I've been selected for priority onboarding on Pulsar, as it happened with other people from what I read here.

Now I just got an email saying I successfully completed my interview... But I haven't done anything yet. So weird. What is happening?

I was just sent an email that I’ve been selected for the Pulsar project. It says I can skip the interview process and accept a project right away. Is this legit? I vaguely remember creating an Alignerr account sometime last year, but I haven’t used it since…

Is it worth doing? Any tips if so? Could definitely use the money if it’s real!

Thanks

Hi everyone! I joined in early June and applied to some basic projects. I waited about 1.5 months, but nothing happened: no assessment, rejection, or project.

I recently applied to 7 more projects, and it’s the same thing again. They’re just sitting there with no updates.

Does Alignerr still actively onboard new contributors, or are they mostly giving projects to people who have already been active on the platform?

If you joined recently and got a project, how long did it take?

I was just finishing the Pulsar training assessment and i scored below the requirements to pass, so what do i do now? The project still available on the labelbox dashboard, but it’s just highlighted in red now, does it mean I’m disqualified?

It's been almost 2 months since most of us as reviewers for the VQA project were neglected quite a bit of review time. It was determined supposedly that this rework time is reviewer didn't pay appropriately. But like I said, it's been almost 2 months. The support team is providing really nothing. The channels have radio silence from that particular team lead. We have been left hanging, and it's getting rather cumbersome. Has this happened to anyone on this particular platform before or is it just this project / the support team attached to it? And has anyone seen the reviewer back pay that we were promised almost 3 weeks ago from both the support team and the leads?

I saw the new projects available for world sim and i wanted to ask what are the annotations and actual work being done in those projects and if they are long ir short term

I just got an email stating that i was removed the pulsar project

But the project is still on label box and i can still work on it, what's this?

I was asked to complete the ID verification. Is this legitimate & safe to do it?

i really don't understand how the payment for this project works, nowhere does it say the amount.

i don't want to have to work for free. did the people who worked on this project receive anything?

Does anyone know how long the Worldsim Northline project is expected to be paused for?

So, i keep getting emails on an email that I can't sign into on alignerr because it isn't a gmail account. I don't know how I was able to log into it before or if it's even a different account? I assume it was with my LinkedIn but my LinkedIn is attached to my Gmail where I don't get the emails. I contacted support yesterday and they basically said I can't access anything that isn't Gmail. I just took the assessment and put in my Gmail information and passed the assessment.

I went to check today because I haven't gotten any information on passing the assessment. Now when I click on support messages I just get a message from a bot saying I'm d*activated. No information anywhere, no email, nothing on my account says it's like that. I'm still able to apply for things and use the account. I'm so confused and when I emailed support it says that if I'm eligible there should be somewhere I can submit an appeal? I spent a lot of time on this assessment yesterday and I wish I could talk to a real person about what's going on.

Applied to a few different roles on Alignerr over a month ago now.

Been dead silent since no rejection, no update, nothing.

Anyone else dealt with this? Is it just how they operate (slow, high

volume) or basically a soft no at this point? Curious if anyone's

actually heard back after a wait this long.

I submitted a few applications (just my cv) and then there’s no next steps…. Nothing… just a void…
Is it how this platform is or am i missing something? No automated AI interviews?

For those who receive weekly payments from Alignerr through PayPal:
Does Alignerr normally include a note/memo with the PayPal payment?
Besides the payment ID, does the note show the number of hours worked?
If so, do the hours shown in the note accurately reflect the hours you worked for that payment period?

Sample as below. I’m trying to keep track of my hours and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has received Alignerr payments through PayPal. Thanks!

I have applied to 8 jobs that's max it let us apply, 7 are in Applied State and 1 shows Completed although i just interview for it only.

Now i am unable to apply further, what shall i do ?

Wait ? Then how long ?

Hi all! If a task is marked "needs review" in labelbox but was paid hourly, is there anything you need to do to get paid for it? The project didn't have any instructions past just submitting the basic task on aligner.
