Home / Guides / A Day in the Life of a Starkworth Annotator

Introduction

It helps to picture the actual work before you register. A Starkworth Annotator's day centers on completing annotation tasks against a specific platform's guidelines — labeling images, text, audio, or video — with quality and consistency both factoring into weekly pay.

There's no fixed "shift" structure published on the site; the work is task-based, so your day is shaped by task availability and your own pace.

Key Points

  • Log in to your account on the platform you've been assigned to.
  • Review task-specific guidelines before starting — they vary by project.
  • Complete labeling, classification, or review tasks with attention to accuracy.
  • Track your own progress; detailed history appears on your Annotator Dashboard as activity is recorded.
  • Get paid weekly, every Wednesday by 3:00 PM (CST), for the work completed that week.

What Actually Varies Day to Day

Task types can include image labeling, text classification, audio transcription, or reviewing model outputs — see Annotator Task Types Explained for specifics. What stays constant is the emphasis on following the platform's guidelines closely, since accuracy factors into your task performance and, by extension, your pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

No fixed shift structure is published — the work is task-based rather than time-clocked.

This isn't addressed with a specific policy on the site; your pay reflects the task performance and input you actually provide in a given week.

Not for day-to-day task completion — you work directly against the platform's guidelines. For account-level questions, use Support or Contact.

Quality is measured against the platform's specific guidelines and factors into your weekly pay — see How Task Performance Affects Your Weekly Pay.
