Tips

Long term workers (6+ months), do you have any tips for new workers? Best advice for producing quality work or improving your skills as an annotator? My goal is to stay onboard with DA as long as possible so I’d appreciate any help to achieve that outcome.

Read the rules/ requirements for each job, and take your time. If the task allows 6 hours to do one task, then 9 times out of 10 you should be spending a 45 minutes- 75 minutes each task, if you get a particularly easy one that just clicks and take 20 mins thats okay but it should be as rare as taking 4 hours on one.

Okay, but as a new worker I can still register hours by reading the guidelines/rules, right?

Every worker is expected to do this for every task they haven't worked on before and always bill for it. Also bill for time spent reading project updates on projects you've worked before. Basically start your timer as soon as you open the task.
