Amazon Mechanical Turk
Amazon Mechanical Turk is a web service that provides an on-demand, human workforce to complete jobs that humans can do better than computers, such as recognizing objects in photographs. To sign up, simply click on the “Sign in as a Worker” link from the top-right corner and follow the instructions. The terms used in this website are totally different than other three websites. Here are some examples.
Requester: A Requester is a company or person that creates and submits tasks to Amazon Mechanical Turk for Workers to perform.
Human Intelligence Task: A Human Intelligence Task (HIT) is a task that a Requester submits to Amazon Mechanical Turk for Workers to perform. A HIT represents a single task, for example, "Identify the car color in the photo." Each HIT has a lifetime, specified by the Requester, that determines how long the HIT is available to Workers. A HIT also has an assignment duration, which is the amount of time a Worker has to complete a HIT after accepting it.
Reward: A reward is the money a Requester pay Workers for satisfactory work they do on HITs.
Working in Mturk is simple. After signing in you directly reaches HITs page, where you can search interesting tasks and apply for it. Withdrawal options can be found in the account setting under “Your account” tab.
