Redacted Name - Prolific Researcher Reviews

quick, easy, very fast approval

I love doing studies by this researcher. They always pay quickly and offer bonuses. The studies are fun.

fast payout, straightforward to do

quick and easy headphones needed

"Unfortunately the survey is not available at the moment. There may have been a technical issue, or we are at capacity. Please return the study, and try again later." - Right. Very broken studies. Avoid.

Great researcher, always do their studies when they show up. Consistently pay very well for the time put in, and the last week I've noticed they started paying some bonuses on top of the already high pay. The last few I've done for them have all given a bonus of 0.75$ or 1$ on 3~ minute studies. Would highly recommend!

This study’s audio check has unfortunately been very unreliable. It worked fine for me two days ago, but now it fails every time even though I’m using the exact same computer, microphone, and setup. I've tried making adjustments to input volume, when I play back the audio my voice sounds crystal clear. Have made sure there's no background noise, simply cannot get it to work anymore. I finally got the audio checks to work, and my submission was rejected. Reason given "Your submission could not be approved because automated quality checks flagged the session."

East study, very straightforward. Paid within minutes, with a bonus! Happy Days!

This review is on the tool used to verify eligibility for this survey. Previously, using the same equipment I passed with a "high" quality. However, for this survey, I was disqualified for the following reason: "We couldn't verify your recording. Something went wrong while reviewing your audio." Curiously, the same system that claimed it couldn't verify my recording somehow said everything else passed: Low background noise Clear acoustics Voice clearly detected Strong microphone quality Quiet surroundings This is incredibly frustrating. If the problem were with my equipment, I could address it by improving my microphone, computer, or internet connection. However, based on the feedback provided, the system appears to recognize that my audio quality is acceptable while failing at the verification step itself. Even with an ideal setup, this type of verification failure would still prevent participation. I also contacted the researcher twice regarding this issue but have not received a response. This occurred across multiple attempts, using different equipment, over several days.

Ah, I see that the requestor name has been redacted, but you can cross reference via the study name, still. This set of studies are not the most well-paying when it comes to AI studies (in fact, the rate of compensation is half or less than that of the 'other' well-known player in this domain). However, the task is probably 1/4 of the effort (i.e., it's much easier). This might be an okay thing to do in the downtime when the 'other' studies are not available or unusually quiet (e.g., perhaps the weekends). The only thing that makes me uncomfortable about participating in these studies is that we might be collectively encouraging requestors to underpay us (i.e., by accepting their rate of compensation, we are signaling a willingness to work for pennies/peanuts when we could be making much more for our time).

I don't know who this guy Joaquin is but he's total goat. The study was kinda boring to be honest I felt so bored listening to this voices but it was worth it. Just 10 minutes of work for some very good money. The pay on the study is broken on this site, it actually pays $3.83 upon completion without counting the bonus payment.

Fast approval.

Excellent study by Joaquin who surprised me with this gift of a study. Easy to fill up. Just, if you use mobile, put the phone in landscape mode as the site isn't adapted for portrait mode.

Took me a little less than the intended time, approved quickly, and they bonused me $0.75 for some reason (I suppose it was meant as an adjustment?). Very easy study

I love you bro i earned 100 dollars with this guy

Easy. Fast approval.

I read the consent form and then immediately returned the study. It states that - my audio and images can be used for commercial applications and purposes - my audio and images can be used by third parties and - that the audio can be played in television and radio. I’m usually always happy to provide audio and video recordings for scientific purposes. I was also really interested in participating in the study, as I’d like to share my perspective on my communication style with for science. But I don’t want to give up all my rights in exchange for what is, in comparison, such a small compensation*, especially when I don’t even know exactly what I’m giving them up for or how they’ll be used. In my opinion, it seems very suspicious that this study is defined as scientific research. I'm really confused because I've actually had very good experiences with Joaquin in the past. (*Compensation is marked as "dynamic", they said 15$/hour but compared to what they could use my audio for, that's really not nearly enough)

Very fast approvals and very fast studys usually taking way less then the intended completion times listed.

Super easy study. Pays very quickly.

Long study, but easy to do and pays well. Just listen to some audio clips, and answer some questions. Pays out within a few hours at the latest. Great researcher!

Always do these if you can. Usually quick and easy and the longer ones pay well too.

I've done a few of these and they are pay out really quickly! Like others have mentioned, the advertised time is longer than what it actually takes so just keep in mind for the potential speed warning. I received one once but everything else has been okay.

It honestly took me awhile longer than the estimated completion just for the fact it was an over 2 hour study, and.. well I feel like it could have paid a little more for the time and effort? But I also feel like I can't complain about the pay. It was well enough for me, but I feel like I can imagine others saying otherwise.

Takes about half the advertised time so be warned you may get a potential speeding warning (I didn't) but pays quickly and is super easy to do

This researcher pays fairly and approves quickly but the time allotted for some of these studies is way too long and I got a speeding warning for one because it was short and easy. I returned it just in case.

Rating TTS audio samples for various features has been great, and the researcher approves quickly and fairly.

I've completed several studies, and all were approved with no issues. I usually finish the ~10-minute ones in 5 minutes, which has not triggered the speed warning yet.

First survey i did was too quick and I got a speed warning, but the audio samples were 3/4 seconds long and it only asked if it sounded correct yes or no. I had a few more and I waited between responses and they were fine. No issues and fast payment.

I've done many ratings for this researcher and never had a rejection. They always take a fraction of the stated time (usually 3~ minutes with an estimate of 10), so the pay rate is very good, and they always approve very quick. The only issue I've had is one was way too quick (4 15~ second clips with one easy question for each with an estimate of 10 minutes), so it was auto flagged for speeding. Researcher still approved it, just annoying to have a speeding flag because of it.

Was nearer to 20 minutes than stated 10. Said samples would be under 30 seconds but multiple were towards or over 2 minutes each.
