Feedback to Indexers

As I am reviewing indexed Brazilian records I am finding an increasing number of images with multiple records on the image where the indexer has only indexed one of the records on the image. I then have to index the remaining records on the image. I have two concerns. 1. How can the indexer receive feedback and training on how to do all of the records on each image? and 2. Is there someone reviewing the indexing that I have done on the unindexed records that I have indexed as I have done the review?

I would be happy to help indexers of Brazilian records learn how to better navigate records on images and find more details in the record that they are currently missing. I used to index a batch of images and review a batch of images each day, but lately have only been reviewing indexed records because I am finding so many errors in the indexing and so many records on the indexed records that have been missed because the indexer isn't paying enough attention to the actual images. I have a large monitor to view the records and it may be that the indexer is indexing on their phone or computer with a small screen.

    The Family search did before they converted to an all net program, People complained too much about the Errors, and also it slowed things down. their was many reasons of why it was taken out. That is just a few I can remember ... Do I see that idea coming back, not sure, because of how the App is set up to see scan the 2 indexers and if they find any wrong it is sent back, but to others and not to the first indexers.
