    Hi everyone,

    I have a question regarding the oscar hits, my computer will self correct itself on the company name line. For example, the company name was eBay and after I tabbed to the next line it corrected it self to EBay so I guess my question is: Is this my computer or the page HIT? Also, sometimes the business cards are typed with all caps, how do you all input all the info?...as it's written or only with the begining letters capitalized.

    Thanks for any help you might have.

    Not knowing which browser you use...

    I know Chrome spell-checks by default; you turn it off in the Language section of Advanced Options.

    If I remember correctly, Oscar's HITs will automatically capitalize each word after you move to the next line. I wouldn't worry about it.

    That's actually an excellent question! I am hoping Raiz can give us his vast knowledge on this one!

    Im Riyaz not Riaz, but even i am also trusted worker of oscar smith.

    @Bertha Dont worry hit page itself alternates the first letter of all fields to Capital letter except for Email and Website fields.

    I had the same doubt and contacted oscar a couple of weeks ago. This was his reply: "Hello,
    Thank you for your email. Please enter the information as given on the card and should not be changed.
    Best
    Oscar"
    I guess that means we should not try to type in lower case if it's given in all CAPS.

    When I was in training mode I noticed if I changed anything that was on the card, the system automatically changed it back. So now I enter EXACTLY what is on the card.

    What about the name of the company, sometimes written in all CAPITALS?

    Or......addresses with no punctuation, such as:
    1234 S 2nd Ave

    And I'm still having a hard time with the titles. Some people apply a title to every single silly thing they do at work.

    My score keeps fluctuating between 87-89.

    Sure dear bro Shyaamist. Really a smile in my face :) .. Yeah you ask your questions, we all try to help you all :) - A member from Mturk Help Team :)
    For the case Company names, don't read from the Logo, if there is a textual thing in the card then read from that and should exactly matches with case that uses
    See if you see a company name is SofTPlus then you enter as it is.

    For the case of Titles, type the good titles that seems to be a Title. Me seen and entered the Title as Owner one day and not seen any problem with that.

    For the case of Address with out punctuations you can enter the Address with in Title Case. There is a tip me using, me will google it and put as it is shown by the google.

    Hope all that helps :)

    I am currently sitting with a 92 quality score. I emailed Oscar yesterday for qualified worker status. I am not going to do any hits until I hear back from him because I don't want to chance messing up my score... I hope I hear back from him soon. There isn't much going on today on MTurk and I'd love to do some....

    I just have trouble seeing the value in these HITS. I mean yes he pays fast and I never had a HIT rejected when I tried some of them, but the pay isn't even worth the time IMO. I'm a fast typer, and it's a struggle to get even one of them done in under 60-90 seconds. For 2 cents, that's a horrible rate. I don't think the 2 cent hits are worth doing if they take more than 10-15 seconds or so. Heck, just selecting the logo on one of the cards and submitting is about all the time that those 2 pennies are worth.

    But maybe that's just me. Maybe some workers have a system down to bang these HITS out at an incredible pace...

    I got my quality score once 90 in oscar smith HITS. After that i mailed oscar smith to grant me trusted worker qualification. He sent me a link on june 7th/2012 and I filled it on the same day and submitted it. After 5 days the requester mailed me saying All The Best! , but the quality score in oscar smith was decreased from 90 to 81. I did lot more HITS and made it upto 89 and again it falled to 82. But what about the trusted worker qualification form that i have filled before. How many days it would take to grant the qualification...
    Please help me yar........

    @Shyaamist Bro
    OK, hold it at 92 and wait for the TWQ you will get with in a week. If not you can send a mail to project.oscar@gmail.com with the screenshot of your score and also your worker ID and request for the TWQ soon.

    @ Sabarish Bro,
    Better get to the 90 and wait for the TWQ for a week and then hold it for the 90 or 90+ score. Better send a mail to project.oscar@gmail.com and tell him with the screenshot you got the 90 so that he could know that you are qualified for the TWQ. Me was granted a TWQ when my score was 89 and me got the link for the form for enrollement as TWQ and have to wait for 2 weeks, till then me was waiting for the TWQ to be approved, also me send him my 90 score screenshot to project.oscar@gmail.com, after some more waits me got it approved.
