OVERVIEW
▣ SYSTEM OVERVIEW
[[Has system overview::According to [ Amazon] (nov. 7 2013), Mechanical Turk allows you to:
- Define your HITs, including the specific output desired, the format of the output, how you display your work items and how much you will pay to have them completed.
- Load millions of HITs into the marketplace to be completed.
- Qualify your workforce: if special skills are required to complete your tasks, you can require that workers pass a qualification test before they are allowed to work on your HITs. Alternately, you can require that a worker has historically completed a minimum percentage of their tasks correctly or a minimum number of previous HITs in order to qualify for your HIT.
- Only pay for quality work. Once your work items have been completed, you have the ability to review the results and accept or reject them. You only pay for accepted work.
- Retrieve the results. Using the web services APIs, developers can retrieve the results and integrate them directly into their applications.]]
