Mechanical Turk - is operated by a US international ecommerce giant Amazon. Mechanical Turk is like Microworkers, but they are more sophisticated.
Mechanical Turk operates as a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace. They give the means for individuals or businesses to meetup and make use of human intelligence to perform tasks that computers are currently unable to do. It is one of the sites operated by Amazon Web Services.
Here how it goes, the Requesters post tasks known as HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) like scanning through photographs and categorizing each one, or writing product descriptions. Workers are called "Providers" or "Turkers". Turkers can choose among existing tasks and complete them for a monetary payment set by the Requester.
In order to place HITs, the requesting programs use an open Application Programming Interface, or the more limited MTurk Requester site. However, requesters are only available to US-based entities.
Requesters can give "Turkers" tests or qualifications before they can do the task. Requesters can set up a test in order to verify the Qualification. They can also accept or reject the result sent by the Worker, which reflects on the Worker's reputation.
"Turkers" from all over the world are qualified to join. Payments for completing tasks can be redeemed on Amazon.com via gift certificate (gift certificates are the only payment option available to international workers, apart from India) or be later transferred to a Worker's U.S. bank account. Requesters, which are typically businesses, pay 10% of the price of successfully completed HITs to Amazon.
