What Is UHRS and How To Make Money With UHRS - A Complete Guide
What Is UHRS and How To Make Money With UHRS - A Complete Guide
A Complete Guide
How would you feel if a search engine returns irrelevant results for your
search query? I am sure you won’t like it. What if I tell you that you can
make money by helping a search engine in decision making process like
which result is relevant and which is not? In this article, we will talk about
UHRS, a crowsourcing platform where you can complete simple small
tasks and earn a lot of money. For an example, you will be given 2 links
along with a search query. You just have to judge which link is more
suitable to the query and you get paid for your judgement. UHRS can be a
great way to make some extra money working from home.
What is UHRS?
UHRS, Universal Human Relevance System is a crowdsourcing platform
by Microsoft used for data labeling with the help of millions of people
around the world it calls ‘Judges’. Judges/workers can work from home and
get paid for doing simple tasks such as text annotation, image annotation,
data collection, search relevance tasks and much more. Basically UHRS
provides human intelligence to train AI applications/tools, products and
machine learning models.
How to Sign Up/Access UHRS?
UHRS has partnered with different vendors/websites to hire
workers/judges. These companies act as a door between you and UHRS.
You can only access UHRS through one of such door. All the money you
make in a week completing tasks on UHRS is transferred to website you
used to enter UHRS through. This way these websites handles
billing/invoices and payment for UHRS.
List of websites to access UHRS and how to join UHRS through them
–
Clickworker – Registered users on Clickworker can access UHRS jobs. To
get access to UHRS jobs on Clickworker, follow these steps –
Join Clickworker and log into your account.
On dashboard you will see a banner about UHRS saying Qualify for
UHRS. Or you can check a job listing about UHRS under available
jobs tab. A link will lead you to the UHRS But before you can get your
UHRS account, you must complete assessments UHRS I and UHRS
II available in assessment section in your Clickworker account.
You will also need to create a Live ID. Clickworker guides you
through the whole process. Remember the access remains valid for 8
hours. You are required to visit UHRS through Clickworker again.
Your UHRS earning will be transferred to Clickworker account at the end of
every week. Clickworker will automatically send the money through the
payout option you have chosen after holding the UHRS earning for a
month.
UHRS Terminology
UHRS uses some words which you may find confusing when you login for
the first time. So Let’s understand UHRS terminology –
Judges – If you are completing tasks at UHRS to get paid, you are the
Judge. The millions of people who help UHRS labeling data are called
judges.
Marketplace – Marketplace is UHRS dashboard where you can see
various categories or kind of jobs such as search relevance, image
annotation, video annotation etc. You will see a number with each category
in marketplace which tells how many HIT Apps in respective category are
available to work on.
HIT Apps – Hit Apps are like projects. A Hit App contains tasks and all the
necessary information a judge needs to know like number of tasks/hits
available, earning per hit, time a hit takes to be completed, guidelines,
preview etc.
HITs – Hit App contains tasks which are called hits. A task in UHRS is
called HIT. No. Of available hits in a HIT App are updated in every 15
minutes.
Report – A report of all the work you have done in various HIT Apps.
Judgement Total – No. Of total tasks/HITs you have done in various HIT
Apps does not matter valid or incorrect.
Judging Hours – No. Of hours you worked
Spam Accuracy – At first you might think spam accuracy has something to
do with no. Of valid judgement you have made out of total judgement.
When you are doing actual hits, HIT App throws testing hits to check if you
are following guidelines or not while working. Spam accuracy is derived out
your score in testing HITs. If your spam accuracy is low, you can be
disabled temporarily or permanently from doing HITs on a HIT App.
Incentive Earning – Some HIT Apps gives bonus for best judgments.
Such bonus will be displayed in reports under incentive earning.
Earning Levels – Some HIT Apps pay according to levels. Like for first few
HITs you get lower pay and then higher when you enter a new level.
Login to UHRS – When you login UHRS, you see various categories
according to nature of HIT Apps they contains. For an example, Text
Annotation app is likely to have tasks where you will be asked something
about a text like sentiment of a tweet etc. There will be a number on right
bottom of each category box that tells how many HIT Apps are available to
work on in that category. Click on a category that you find matching your
skills.
You will see all the HIT Apps and you can get an idea about nature of
tasks/HITs by reading title and description of HIT App. On right bottom of
every HIT App you will see one of following 3 options –
Train – Some HIT Apps may require training. You are required to
train yourself by doing sample HITs before you encounter real HITs.
When you complete a training HIT, HIT App will show a message
whether your judgement was right or wrong with logical explanation.
Qualify – After completion of training, you are required to pass
qualification test by judging HITs they already know answers of. There
will be a certain number of qualification attempts varies with HIT Apps.
Obviously you are supposed to score good in Qualification Test.
Reading guidelines and instructions really helps here.
Start – If you see this button, you no longer require training or pass
qualification and are ready to judge. However I will advise you to read
guidelines before you start judging.
Start Judging – Start attempting tasks you are qualified for. Initially after a
few judgements, you should go to report section to check how good you
are going and spam accuracy is above the required. Each HIT App has its
own rules. Some HIT Apps will disable you as soon as your spam accuracy
goes below 85% while some may you allow you to continue even if it’s as
low as 60%. Don’t rush through tasks. Take your time and try to be a good
judge. Your reputation may bring you more tasks. HIT Apps and tasks are
updated in every 15 minutes. So keep refreshing after every few minutes if
you don’t see available tasks.
To avoid temporarily or permanent suspension from using a HIT App,
always perform tasks you are really good at. Pay attention to guidelines.
Better find other tasks relevant to your skills if you see too many red alerts
during training even after reading guidelines thoroughly.
Get Paid – All that you earn doing small tasks during a week will be sent to
website you have joined UHRS through which you can withdraw using one
of available payout option.
This was all for this post. Hope you found it useful.

Understanding Work Availability in UHRS
Tip 1: Stay logged in for an extended amount of time
Tip 2: Cover more time by partnering with a friend
Tip 3: Avoid disqualification while working on a HitApp
Tip 4: Check from anywhere using Mobile
Tip 5: Pass the Qualification, even if no Hits are available.
Tip 6: It’s natural to get banned from Hitapps
Tip 7: Work through multiple Contractors
This creates a certain level of competition to find and finish the HitApps. Thus,
you need to increase your availability on the platform to get the maximum results
out of it. Below I share some tips that I personally apply to make the most out of
UHRS.
1. Log in to the UHRS dashboard. You will most likely be greeted with no
available HitApps.
2. The HitApps list refreshes every 15 minutes (approximately). So while
working on your PC, you can refresh the list every 20-30 minutes. This
3. Stay logged in for at least 2-3 hours (if not more), and keep refreshing every
20-30 minutes.
4. Get on with it as soon as you see any available HitApp.
The main idea behind this is to stay active on the platform for as long as possible;
ensuring you don’t miss out on any potential work. I remember once when I was
able to start work on a HitApp early on, and by the time it finished I had already
made more than 80$. Turns out that the qualification process for it was difficult.
This allowed me to work on it for an extended amount of time. By the time more
people qualified for it and started working on it, I had already worked on it for 3
hours.
Had I been unavailable for those 3 hours, I would not have earned such a
significant amount. So increasing your availability is the first tip. Now what will
you do while you are online for such a long time, you ask? I like to work on my
website while I am online on UHRS and Usertesting looking for work. Both these
websites follow a “first-come, first-serve” model of providing tasks. This way, I
ensure that I am available for any given task while working on my website.
There was a period of around 10 days when I was not able to find any work in
Clickworker. This was after being active for 4-5 hours daily. I became very
disappointed when I came to know that the tasks were coming in at 11:30 pm
(Indian Standard Time). Unfortunately, I was retiring to bed early during that
particular period of time. If only I was aware of this, I would have been available
at that point in time; which brings us to tip #2.
1. Partner up with a friend or two, and divide the time when you will be
logged into the UHRS platform.
2. Create a WhatsApp group, and simply send a ping on the group whenever
work is available.
3. Change the notification tone of that group to be as distracting as possible;
so that you are always notified of available work.
Obviously, it’s a long shot from having 24-hour availability on the platform; but
you can ensure that you will get notified of new tasks over a much wider range of
time. You and your friends can divide this chore depending upon your availability
and commitments.
tip 3: avoid disqualification while working on a hitapp
You see a HitApp with thousands of available hits, and are delighted at the
prospect of the potential earnings. You begin working right away, hearing the
dollars rolling in your bank account with every click until…A message appears
informing you that you have kicked out of the task.
This is a real bummer, as not only did you waste hours refreshing the page looking
for work; you were also not able to reap any of the benefit of your work and
patience. So how do you avoid getting kicked out of a HitApp?
1. Never rush through any hit, even if it looks easy. All HitApps have a certain
amount of time that you need to wait in-between each judgment, which ensures
that you have carefully inspected the hit.
Rushing through hits might feel lucrative, especially if the hits are easy to judge.
But there is an internal check which will simply kick you out for doing this.
Sometimes, you will be allowed to work on it again the next day. But sometimes
you will be permanently banned from that particular task.
2. Carefully read the guidelines and make sure you judge all the hits after
inspecting them patiently. There are random “Spam Hits” in between the regular
hits. Judging them incorrectly for a repeated amount of time can disqualify you
from the task. Upon judging them, you will be shown a dialog box telling you the
correct answer and its reason.
3. Be even more aware, as there are certain “hidden spam hits” that you will
be presented with from time to time. They won’t show you a dialog box with the
correct answer unlike the one described above. But it will keep decreasing your
judgment score. Once your score goes below 0.70, you will be disqualified from
the HitApp till the next day.
I struggled a lot with these types of hits. I would get kicked out of the task, and
would not have any idea as to why it happened. I was left wondering as to what
went wrong with my judgments.
So, the main take-away from this tip is to work on your tasks patiently and
honestly. Don’t get greedy and work mindlessly on your HitApps. Always be
patient and honest with your work, even if it takes a little more time than usual. It
will ensure that you end up working more than the other clickworkers, since many
of them will get disqualified along the way.
This counters the impracticality of checking for new Hitapps constantly on your
Laptop/Desktop.
You can even work on some of the Hitapps using your smartphone, though it is not
recommended. It will allow you to literally work from anywhere, or even while
commuting or getting bored at your office. But some Hitapps do not work properly
on mobile, and most of the contractors advise against working on them from a
mobile device.
So it is best to stick to a desktop for longer work sprints. Also, using a larger
screen and proper keyboard/mouse setup is the most efficient way to work on it,
which will allow you to earn much more $ per hour from UHRS.
The Hitapp will disappear for a while and will be available again after 8-24 hours.
Try again. Go through the guidelines again if you need to. If you get kicked out 3
times, you will be banned from the Hitapp, which kind of sucks. But simply
move on and work on something else.
Getting banned from Hitapps does not affect your account in any way. Don’t
worry, you won’t get banned from UHRS for getting kicked from Hitapps. Infact,
if the client resets the Hitapp (maybe changes the guidelines, interface, etc.), you
will be able to qualify for it again.
By gaining access through multiple sites, you can increase the work available to
you. And since all UHRS projects pay between 5-15$/hour (more if you are from a
economically stronger nation), you can increase your earnings working more
hours.

yes, you need to wait a certain time between HITS. The duration varies for
Hitapps.

Your spam rate is the number of correct judgements/number of spam hits. It should
ideally be above 0.7. If it gets below 0.7 you might get kicked out of the Hitapp.
Spam hits are hits designed to check whether you are judging correctly.

You probably got banned from that particular Hitapp, not from UHRS. Infact, you
can get kicked upto 3 times after which the Hitapp becomes inaccessible to you.

How to remember the guidelines each time you login. Some guidelines have only
small changes between hitapps that affect judgement. My spam rate accuracy goes

The Guidelines are available for you anytime you login, you also have the option
to download them to your device.
For spam rate, check your “My Reports” section. If it shows “In Production” as the
status, then you will be paid the amount listed there.

which is best time to work on uhrs? when are new hitapps uploaded in the uhrs
according to your experience. could you please share that information.
REPLY
dr_saabsays:
at
The best time to work on UHRS would be during night hours (such as after 10pm
to 6am) if your schedule can allow that, as it is the most inactive time in UHRS.
Also, several Hitapps follow a pattern when there hits are reloaded. For eg, a
Hitapp might get new hits everyday at around 2pm for several days, so make note
of it and be ready.
This helps when you are working with a group, and you guys can share this
information with each other (as mentioned in one of the tip)

Their is no single advice that would work on all Hitapps. But try to read guidelines
thoroughly and go through the training hits. The training hits have explanations for

Hello, currently I’m using one email to work with two different contractors –
teemwork.ai and lionbridge, I’m yet to receive my pay, would I get a payment
from just one contractor since it’s the same UHRS account I use for both (the same
mail address was what these contractors registered me with) or will I get two
payments from these two contractors?
REPLY
dr_saabsays:

If you are using the same outlook email address, then I have no idea as this is not
allowed.
If you are using the same email address for registration on the contractors, then you
will receive 2 separate payments from both of them.

The Hitapp situation varies from country to country. Quadrant Resource has almost
the same amount of Hitapps in India, but QR belongs to an Indian company as
well.
For European countries, Clickworker works better. But such questions are best
answered by a community. I suggest you ask this to people on reddit or other
communities.

You can use the same credentials but will need a different outlook email. Also,

Hi sir I recently qualified for uhrs but I am not getting enough jobs.
I got to know from my friend that he get 30 + jobs on the same day of
qualification.
He is leaving in same city
dr_saabsays:
at
Different profiles have access to different jobs (especially in the beginning). Just
try to be active more and qualify for new Hitapps. With time, you will get access to
more Hitapps.
1. Clickworker
2. Teemwork
3. Oneforma
4. Quadrant Resources
5. Datamime
You can create account on any of these sites and get access to UHRS.
Now people often ask me which one is the best vendor to start working
with. The list that I have provided above is already ranked as per my
priority. To rank the 5 sites, I took 2 factors into consideration:
1. Marketplace
2. Report
We will discuss about both of them and will provide every single detail
about the Platform.
Marketplace
Marketplace is the part of UHRS Platform where you will be able to see
the tasks availability and a various other information about each task.
Below is a screenshot of how the marketplace looks like. It is the first
screen you will see when you login to UHRS
Once you are here, go to All section as shown in the above screenshot
and change the view to List as It is easier to track things than the Grid
View.
Now Let’s start discussing about each and every term present in the
UHRS Marketplace.
I have
covered the hitapp names in the screenshot as it is against the UHRS
guidelines.
2. Hits: These are the tasks that you do in a hitapp. Think of hits as
questions/queries that you have to solve and get paid. Each hit will
earn you some money. In the above screenshot, the top hitapp
contains approximately 89.7k hits which shows the work availability
for the hitapp. In simpler terms, there are around 89.7k queries that
are currently available to be solved in the hitapp.
3. Earn: This is the amount that you will earn for doing a single hit in
the hitapp. So for the hitapp present at the second which is having
2.5k hits has a earning potential of $0.012/hit. That is equivalent of
$30 in total.
4. Completion Time: This is the average time that you should take to
complete one hit. This is something you should follow in order to not
get a speed ban which we will talk later in the coming sections.
Preview, Train, Guidelines
1. Preview: The wifi like icon shown in the above image is the
Preview section. Before you can do the paid tasks, you can practice
the hitapp using preview and understand how the hitapp works. It will
provide you questions similar to that in the Paid tasks and is very
helpful to get a practical overview of the task. This is not mandatory
and can be optionally done only for practice.
2. Training: The next icon to preview is Training. It is similar to
Preview. The only difference between Preview and Training is that in
most of the hitapps Training is a mandatory field before you will be
able to start doing the Paid Tasks. It is also for practice and will help
you understanding the task.
3. Guidelines: The last icon in the image refers to Guidelines. You
can download guidelines for every hitapp using this section. They are
a set of rules and methods that you should follow to judge/solve a
hit(query) in the hitapp. Guidelines will give you the theory knowledge
while the training and preview will give you practical examples of the
tasks.
Note: Personally, I like to start a new hitapp with Training and Preview
and if I don’t understand it while doing Training, only then I go and read
the guidelines.
Qualify, Start, Pending
1. Qualify: For doing paid tasks in any hitapp, you will have to go
through a qualification process. As per my experience, I have seen
the hitapps generally require 70%-80% score in Qualification to pass
it. Each hitapp will provide you a certain number of chances to
qualify. If you fail in all the chances then you won’t be getting
another chance to pass it. So it’s very important to do the
Qualification carefully. Below is a sample instruction to qualification
screenshot:
Report
Report is a very important part of UHRS as it will show you your
performance across various hitapps that you have done. You will be able
to improve your earnings by checking your reports regularly. Below is a
screenshot which we will refer throughout this section:
Types Of Hits
We are only going to talk about the various types of hits present in the
Paid Hits which will come after qualifying a hitapp.
1. Task Hits: These are the hits whose answer is not known to UHRS
and you among with various workers will solve the hits to give UHRS
the answers. Now here comes a problem, if UHRS will give all the hits
as Task hits then people can easily spam(give any answer they want
even without reading the query). Spamming will decrease the quality
of work that UHRS is looking for and hence it has come up with a
solution to it with 2 kinds of hits which are inserted among the Task
Hits randomly.
2. Spam Hits: These are the hits whose answer is already known to
UHRS and it will be used to assess your quality of work. Now UHRS
will not tell you if the hit is a spam hit or not. It will just look similar to a
Task hit and is almost impossible to differentiate a Spam hit from a
Task hit.
3. RTA Hits: This is similar to spam hit as the answer to this hit is
also known to UHRS but this will not be used to assess your quality of
work rather it will just provide you information if you are doing the hits
correctly or not. Also you will be able to identify a RTA Hit from the
other hits as it will give you a alert after you complete the hit. The
alert looks similar to an alert you get while doing a hit in Training
section. A sample screenshot is shown below:
1. Spam Ban: This happens when your spam accuracy goes below a
set threshold. For every Hitapp there is a threshold already set by
UHRS which is unknown to us. So people usually ask me What is a
good Spam Accuracy? The answer to it is simple, there is no exact
spam accuracy which is good as for every hitapp the spam accuracy
is different. But if you can keep your spam accuracy at 90% and
above, there is a very little chance that you will get banned. One way
to know the threshold is by getting a ban as it will tell you at what
spam accuracy you got banned. But I will not recommend doing so 😂
2. Speed Ban: This happens when you try to do the hits at a much
faster rate than the desired speed limit. Like the spam ban which had
a threshold for spam accuracy, every hitapp also has a speed
limit/threshold. If you go above that threshold you will get a speed
ban. You must follow the average completion time which is mentioned
for every hitapp in Marketplace to avoid a speed ban.
Ban Timeline
Temporary Ban: Each hitapp will temporarily ban you before banning
you permanently. The temporary bans will be like a warning and if you
get it you will usually have a message “Based on your recent work, we
have noticed that the quality is not in line with Task owner’s
expectations and guidelines.” While in Temporary Ban, you still get a
chance to work on the hitapp again. The Temporary Ban usually lifts in
24 hours, more specifically at 12:00 AM (PST). So after this you can
again start working on the hitapp.
Permanent Ban: After 2 temporary bans, the 3rd ban will lead to a
Permanent Ban and in this case it will disable your access to the hitapp
forever. It will come with a message “You have been disabled“. This is
something you should avoid at any cost.
To avoid Permanent Ban, you must understand how the Ban Timeline
works.
For every hitapp, the Ban status resets every 7 days. Let us understand
it with an example:
If you are temporarily banned today a hidden timer will start for 7
days from the exact time of your ban. Within these 7 days if you get
2 more bans then you will be permanently banned but if you don’t
do the hitapp for 7 days after the 1st ban then the timer will end and
the system will forget that you had a ban before.
You can take advantage of this method by stopping to work on a hitapp
for 7 days on which you have a temporary ban. This will make sure you
don’t have a permanent ban at all.
PA AC and TA AC Hitapps
The Ban Timeline doesn’t apply for a small number of hitapps ending
with PA AC and TA AC. These are the hitapps which will ban you in your
first ban without giving you a warning. So you should be more careful
while doing these hitapps.
