r/annotators

Got 3 hours to spare? I'm working with Meridial on an AI Audio Testing project — 10 quick tasks, and if you complete them, you benefit from a $25 bonus on top of the standard incentive. Great if you're already doing AI annotation work or want to try it out.

Hi, has anyone recently been assigned to the exact same AI training project across two different platforms (e.g., DataAnnotation, Remotasks/Outlier, Appen, OneForma, etc.).

For those who have been in this situation before, how did you handle it? Did you reach out to support on one/both platforms, simply drop the project on one, or opt out completely?

Has anyone here completed onboarding for a QAL/Team Lead role at SME Careers? If so, did you eventually receive a bootcamp or project invitation, and how long did it take after onboarding?

I've completed onboarding for a QAL role and I'm currently waiting for the next step, so I'm curious about other people's experiences.

This person is looking for annotators, specifically those residing in the Philippines, just to offer a lowball rate of $3/hour. She then leaves you hanging for hours waiting for a response and has been unprofessional with communication from the very start.

To my fellow Filipinos, please be careful before accepting any offer from this person. We should stop tolerating this kind of treatment. Imagine being offered $3/hour for a job where you'll be doing most of the work while she's earning significantly more from it ($18 to be specific). Wow.

I even made myself available for a scheduled meeting, adjusted my time, and waited for hours without receiving any proper update. A simple message would have been enough.

P.S. I did not proceed with working with her because I already knew it wasn't going to work out due to the lack of professionalism and communication.
This is simply my experience, and I wanted to share it so others can make an informed decision before accepting any offer.

Heya! We know REX is young platform, and there are a lot of growing pains it went through since September/October 2025. In response to that, there’s been a lot of improvement based on feedback. Personally, the speed annotators are paid has been super great to see. There used to be so many issues, and now it’s a smooth and almost completely automated process. What are some improvements you’ve noticed a an annotator? Or something you’d still like to see implemented?
