Amazon Mechanical Turk

What is Amazon Mechanical Turk?

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing marketplace where businesses post small "Human Intelligence Tasks" (HITs) – such as identifying specific content in images or videos, writing product descriptions or answering survey questions – that workers complete for a fee.

Qualifications

Workers sign up as independent contractors and are free to choose tasks and set their own hours. Requesters can require workers to pass qualification tests before accepting a task. There are no formal educational prerequisites, but workers need an Amazon account and, in most cases, must reside in an approved country to receive payments.
