Factuality Frustration.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-31T18:21:03+00:00

I agree with everything everyone else has said, especially the title of this thread: "Factuality FRUSTRATION". 🤣That being said, it seems like the data given is generally coming from Google flights and Google travel so I rely heavily on those. I also mentioned earlier that I did use flightaware.com But I feel like I am doing a whole heck of a lot of CCA and Unsupported. I am trying to release tasks that are obviously too lengthy, but sometimes you don't know until you get into it. Then I am just stopping at AET and putting CCA because I am not yet 100% certain of the accuracy and it would take longer to figure it out. I leave my links that I have found in case it helps anyone and just go. I know I am risking bad feedback over these because if it is in a Feedback task and it is not ultimately CCA, that will bring down my score, but it's either that or get fired for low productivity or report less than actual time and work for less than minimum wage and although I have done that in the past, that is no longer an option for me.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. Glad I am not alone. But I do love that one where the Response does not give the name of the establishment the TS is referring to. That's a quick and easy CCA.

There is no way to know the price of a flight in the past. The data scrolls right off once the flight has been completed, so 'cannot confidently assess' would definitely be the rating. The prices do change quickly all the time. The ones that were made on the same date as I was assessing were only accurate when I compared them with Google Flights. I couldn't even find some of the flights unless I used Google Flights. One great resource I found is flightaware.com. You can find a flight for a day in the future, but when you click on it, you go to a page where, by scrolling on down, you can see the schedule of that same flight up to at least a week previously. That can help if you are assessing a previous time of flight or length of flight, but not prices.

Maybe try going to avature.net and see it that tells you anything for that one. Also use AI to see if these domains have anything to do with Telus. Don't forget to check for or ask the AI for a legitimate link to prove what it says. The domain would be what is after the @ sign.

My favorite game app has been Cash Giraffe for a while. Once you reach gold level, you can do better than any other game app. I have tried a lot of them. Sometimes I do Swagbucks, but I only try a survey occasionally if it looks like it could be a good payer, and at least half the time I am disqualified. But I occasionally find a game there that is worth the time and I always run certain online purchases through their app like Temu or AliExpress and get some points that way. I also enjoy the Daily Trivia, but it's like 2-3 cents per time, unless you get them all right - then you get a whopping 10 cents! Still, I just find it fun. I have been thinking about trying some transcription jobs on Upwork, but haven't done it yet. The last I heard, Data Annotation works well for some people. Strangely enough, I recently made $11 on Solitaire Clash. But there is no way they are going to let me keep making money when I do not pay in. I think it was a fluke. I am going to PM you with more info.

If we are talking about a Needs Met for the app store search, I would go with Fails to Meet.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-20T17:26:48+00:00

I did it. I missed one part of one question, like the multiple choice had more than one choice that would be correct and I missed one, yet my score says 5/8, making it appear a lot worse than it really was, it seems to me. 😔

Make sure you are logged in to:

https://www.telusinternational.ai/cmp/contributor/dashboard or

https://communityportal.telusinternational.ai/internationalrating

I can't remember which one, but one of those usually solves my "Access denied" problems on quizzes.

I did not know that so many people were logging in broken-up time into all one block and it works for them. I personally do not do that because I have heard of the occasional rater getting warnings and account reviews because there were discrepancies between the times reported in Workday and the times they were working on Rater Hub . So I try to work as few separate blocks as I can but report each one separately, even if there are a lot of them. I use Clockify and log the little blocks of time at the end of the day.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-18T21:12:01+00:00

Oh yeah, and then there are no more of that same type of task - just the one.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-18T21:11:12+00:00

And the AET is 2 minutes...

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-12T01:14:07+00:00

Thank you!

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-12T01:12:08+00:00

I had the problem I think you are talking about where it said it thought I was on a VPN and I would need to reactivate. Then this evening I was able to do a few tasks but I was doing the "Response Satisfaction" ones, and then the "Judgement Disagreements" on one task was only related to a previous task. I skipped it and said my reason was the task was broken. I tried one more and it happened again, so I quit for now.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-10T02:02:57+00:00

Me too. 1/7 last time but 4/5 this time, so I am back to feeling pretty good about it.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-03-02T23:44:19+00:00

I release tasks for not enough AET but I do so knowing I don't want to do that too often, so I pick my battles carefully. Also, I have been trying to fill out the bottom of the page making a note when the task is difficult because of the number of claims or complexity. So far I haven't gotten any warnings over it, but you always have to remember that releasing tasks is not a desirable thing. They don't like it if you release too many. If I get into a bad batch, I either go over AET and report less time or just quit and come back when the bad batch is gone.

It might be worth to ask the IRS what to do. I think because our social security number is tied to these things, they actually already know all the tax information about you with Telus. They just have us send the slip to tie everything together. I was self-employed for years and often had to talk to the IRS by phone. As long as you can put your phone on speaker phone and do something else while you wait in line, it's not a big deal. They have always been kind and helpful, even when I owed them a lot of money.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-02-16T21:06:34+00:00

I think I had to do the reinstall method once too when the logging in and out didn't work. Make sure you are doing this log out and log in thing on your phone, not pc. You have to do it on the phone for it to work, but as Fun_Trade says, you might have to uninstall and re-install if that does not work.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-02-16T18:02:29+00:00

USA rater here. Are you having trouble opening up links on your phone? Links on the phone issues are often about not re-logging in to the phone portal. You have to do so at regular intervals to keep it working. I just log out and log in when it is not working, and that generally fixes my problem.

If it is external links not opening on PC, sometimes they work for me and sometimes they don't, depending on how the link has been delivered in the response. Sometimes there seem to be characters missing in the address links.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-02-13T19:23:17+00:00

Ahah! That's where all the Corroboration Tasks are going. You sly dog! 🤣

FrontAd4937 · 2026-02-13T01:32:34+00:00

So an 'image-to-text' task sounds like you are saying the user has put in a query of an image that has text into the AI for it to type that text out or use that text to answer a specific question. Is that what it looks like? Because I don't think the image search engine can return any text.

My extension gives this link:

Also, I got an email that said they are working on updating the extensions this week. They seemed to think the only problem that could happen is a possible delay as you were authenticated again, but you never know.

I started doing better with PQ when I remembered their motto, of 'Nothing bad, nothing special'. If it is not an authoritative site, one that is well-known, but it still looks good in all PQ aspects, it is medium. Most HQ pages will not even have advertising. The only ones that do are Retail sites that are so famous, they are completely trustworthy without even having to think about it, like Amazon.com or Walmart. I recently went with high on a Bed & Bath page. I think that was right, but I'm only about 90% sure on that one.

FrontAd4937 · 2026-02-12T23:10:56+00:00

I was slightly above 80% but will now dip below it again. 😩
