What these records do not show#

  • No research findings or data-quality scores are available to us; only delivery and payout records are reported.
  • Posted location is the city or market named in the task posting, not an independent check of where each worker was.

How to request similar work#

  1. Specify device requirements (desktop or laptop with microphone) and a quiet room.
  2. Give the number of sentences or clips per session and the expected time.
  3. Explain consent and data use in the posting.
