  • Completed over 4 hrs today and not even 3 hours has tracked! So frustrated!

    So far for me today everything has worked fine - can't quite believe it!

    Only just finished though for the day, so will wait to see whether it all tracks.....

    thanks

    I think most people are doing the evaluation work.

    In terms of what it involves, not really able to go into it in any great depth due to signing a Non-Disclosure agreement, however, if you apply, you will then be sent more details, so you always have the option of doing that, and if you don't think the role is for you, you can always just not pursue it further.

    Good luck :)

    I do crowdsourcing and transcription. There's not been much crowdsourcing recently but loads of transcription work

    I did 5 yesterday and it didn't count the last half hour. Not to mention ever since I began the job the timer is always off until hours later. I always manually time myself now and check up on it at night.

    The timer eventually updated, took several hours, and I was still 25 mins short! Everyday I have these issues and beginning to wonder if its worth it.

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing continued timer issues. I'd really like to know why this isn't being sorted out since they've been made aware of it numerous times.

    I've had nothing but technical problems today- the tool is refusing to submit judgements, freezing, or refusing to load.

    Really irritating.

    One thing I've just noticed looking back at UHRS 'My Report' is that 2 days are showing me as having completed more time than I did, whilst the other 2 show me doing less time. It appears that the time may have tracked, although for some reason have been allocated to the wrong day.
  • Is anyone else having problems with one of the crowdsourcing tasks today? I'm sure I'm following the instructions correctly - I've read and re-read to check - but I still seem to be making mistakes! Grrr, frustrating...

    Well, after having around 45 minutes which failed to track on Monday, it seems like I also came up about 15 minutes short on Thursday too. The other 3 days tracked OK though. Not exactly happy that my final total for the week is only 19.4 hours when I actually worked more than my 4 hours each day.. But I've billed them for the full 20 anyway, and they're just gonna have to deal with it! :)
