I had my HITs confused. I was thinking the one you mentioned was the listening and slider bar response one. Durp!

Submit a spoken description of the thing in the photo ...

These should be fun ... but not for me lol.

No single-word descriptions? — It's a BANANA. What more do you need than THE WORD BANANA? – Shall I talk about how ripe it looks??

So yeah, no single-word submissions — but don't talk too much either. Just 1 or 2 short sentences. — OK.

Now it's some ambiguously blurry thing; just a training image; a cheat could identify it, but the image itself is unclear so I must treat it as such.

"1 or 2 short sentences" sounds like a helpful guideline. But I often feel compelled to say more.

After the training, if this is an actual service identifying photos for visually impaired folks, we'll get photos submitted by users. We can't communicate with them, so they can't ask us follow-up questions about details. So I'm inclined to describe with more detail rather than less.

Some visible details may be important and some unimportant to a person. Since I can't be sure which ones matter to them, I want to describe every visible detail that might be significant.

Some key details may be partly visible or blurred or obscured. To produce a sensible complete description I must mention not only what I can clearly see, but also what I cannot. When some evidently critical detail isn't entirely visible, surely I should mention that, no?

Too often I'll exceed the 2 short sentences limit.

I'll skip these and let others enjoy doing them.

"Long, curved, yellow fruit with brown spots."

I mean you're probably better off not working on such a poorly paid batch, but it doesn't seem like it's all that hard.

I'll send an email... and there is the fact he HALVED the pay..

 

I did this one as well. The other one, though, I apparently didn't pass the initial hearing test.

 

Was this from one earlier in week? I got that extra $2 as well. First time I've seen it on EJ work I've done.
