1. What is Level 4?

Level 4 CrowdSurfers are responsible for editing and identifying any timing errors in Full Length Transcripts. This is the first time anyone has seen the Full Length Transcript after all of its MTurk HITs come together, and we need you to make sure it is 100% PERFECT. Click here to see Full Text Review Guidelines.  

See the FAQ's for Log In information here.


2. How much do I make in Level 4?
Level 4 Full Text Review tasks are worth $0.17 per media minute for editing and flagging incorrect timing. These tasks have a higher effective pay rate than our Transcription HITs and our Review HITs in MTurk. 

3. Your Success in Level 4

To stay in Level 4 we need you to keep delivering high quality work. This means a QC Score between 3.5 and 3.69 and an Approval Rating of 90%. If your score falls below these quality levels we will provide feedback on your mistakes. Our goal is to help you be as successful as possible with CrowdSurfWork.

4. Tracking Your Work

Your CrowdSurfWork ID is *|MMERGE3|*.   

Keep this ID to track your performance on the Daily Worker Data Spreadsheet.
The first 2 tabs are relevant to Level 4. You can see media minutes worked, your average QC score, Approval Rate, and number of rejected Full Text Review tasks. 

You'll receive emails letting you know which ones you qualify for. These data is provided daily and in a weekly summary.   More about the spreadsheet:

• Weekly data shows work from Monday 12:00am - Sunday 11:59pm PST
• Daily data shows work from 12:00am - 11:59pm PST.
• The Spreadsheet is updated Monday-Friday for the previous day.  Work done from Friday-Sunday will be updated on Monday.
• To keep the data anonymous, everyone has a CrowdSurfWork ID.
• Tip: Use CTRL+F to search the spreadsheet for your worker ID.

5. Payment Method

You will be paid per media minute, not per task on CrowdSurfWork.

This means that a 10 minute task is worth $1.70. The longer the task, the more you earn!  Please refer to the Daily Worker Spreadsheet for your earnings information.  

All payments will be made to your MTurk account on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for work completed by 11:59pm PST the previous night.

CrowdSurfWork Bonuses are in addition to the $0.17 per mm base rate. Bonus announcements are posted every week on the CrowdSurf Blog.
