​

Pros:
Easy task - transcribe short clips. 10 minute timer now.

Cons:
This could have been done faster; but I had to stop and see if there were instructions on how to treat audio that has no spoken word/s. There are none. So I forged ahead anyway. It forces you to put SOMETHING in there - all I could do was inform them there are no spoken word/s; in both the HIT and in a message to the requester.

75% approval as of this review.

That was quick

 

I spent almost half an hour on a $1 PickFu HIT.
I really went overboard with the writing.

Submission failed — the page redirected to an Amazon log-in, followed by an error message, "Sorry we can't find that page."

After that, the HIT is still in queue, but the data is lost and I'd have to start over.

I see that some other turkers have had that problem with other requesters (such as MLDataLabeler), so it isn't specific to PickFu.

I wonder what causes that kind of error to unpredictably occur.

 

Since at least 2022.

 

Earlier, June 2021.

Earlier, August 2020, mentioned on Reddit.

 

Earlier, 196 BC, ancient Egyptians mentioned it too:

 

Even earlier, millions of years ago, the Stargate Ancients reported the error.

Fortunately they evolved into ascended beings of pure energy, and then they didn't need to turk anymore.

 

When Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, there was a guy who refused to evacuate because he was furiously working on a Noah batch.
