    I have no guts when it comes to this stuff. I got brave and did about 450 of them, and now I'm scared about my average tanking. Granted I'm only a little over 5K.

    Appears Speech Research is working fine without me listening to the HITs prior to submitting. Good thing because that thing won't load if I say more than one word. Guess I will try to max out on them.

    I'm kind of loving them. I've been reading a lot of lines from Drive and One Fell Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's loads of fun :D

    In case some people do not know, you can search for AR - WA and see what hits they are reviewing. I have a link on my dashboard for it - just to keep it in mind. Here is link if anybody cares

    What is up with this fear-mongering? AR-WA is seriously nothing to worry about.

    Who's fear mongering? Knowing that AR-WA exists and what they do is just a fact that is useful for people to know.

    If you're doing the images and sentences HIT, here's the ahk I use for all of their batches. Takes about 20-25s for $0.07 -

    Code:
    [SIZE=1]; Hover your mouse over the sentences and press 1 for True or 2 for False.
    ; Made a mistake? Press 3 to go back and change your answer.
    
    1::
    Send {LButton}
    Send {Tab}
    Send {Space}
    Send {Tab}
    Send {Tab}
    Send {Space}
    return
    
    2::
    Send {LButton}
    Send {Tab}
    Send {Right}
    Send {Tab}
    Send {Tab}
    Send {Space}
    return
    
    3::
    Send {LButton}
    Loop 3
    {
    Send {Tab}
    }
    Send {Space}
    Sleep, 150
    Send 2
    return[/SIZE]

    Excuse my ignorance, but where does it say that AR-WA is part of Amazon and is a group of workers reviewing our work and that we could lose our masters over them?

    Anything that's been said about AR-WA related to masters has been purely hearsay. No one has any actual proof or evidence that it's even remotely true.

    adaaam did some research on the company and found they were part of Amazon. Hopefully he'll come in and he can give you the details.

    And I hope I'm not mischaracterizing his findings!

    That they are Amazon is fact us veterans know as we know some of the workers who do their hits. They were picked many years ago.

    Amazon denies this has anything to do with masters but they don't want anyone knowing how they do it so they would say that. They certainly aren't checking peoples work for no reason though. Aside from maybe banning scammers what else would it be for?

    That is fear-mongering. No proof. Why would they want to check people's work? For the same reason that other requesters have multiple people do the same tasks...

    If they're awake the qual is granted 10-15 minutes after you take the test. Just focus on matching the quantity and identity of objects (lots of times it'll refer to a man as both man/woman but that's still true because it is referencing the same object, but man and men would be false).

    Other requesters check their own work that way though not the work of other requesters.
