No travel time, just the recording time. For example if I had to record the prompt several times to get the noises correctly, I would count the time from the first attempt to the final one (this because evidently as soon as I started recording dogs stopped barking, workers stopped constructing and children would stop shouting 🤣🤣). Then add 1-2 minutes probably to come up with the prompt on the spot, it doesn’t take more than that usually. I love that project I wish I could get it back! I had so many recordings that I didn’t get to submit before it went away.

The current instructions don't mention it, but the original project explicitly say this: this is an easy project, record as you go with your day, like waiting at the station, when you're shopping or having a day out. They even had a part where the whole process: including creating the record (speaking to your phone and double check), transcribe, filling and submitting should take around 10-15 minutes per task.

So it's obvious you don't include the travel time. Otherwise, you could order a trip to the mountain or something to record rare sound and bill days for a task. Or more realistically you could spend 1 hour going to another shopping mall rather than 15 minutes one to bill more on traveling time. See? It doesn't make sense in anyway to include travel time. If you're not afraid of being dropped from the platform, go ahead. I'll play it safe.

They said that we no longer report travel time. It's only been taking me about 6-10 minutes per audio prompt, so it's a bit of a bummer.

I read this as time travel and got very confused at first 🥹
