[Job-Discussions] Amazon MTurk Experience

[mistydbradley at gmail.com]

Hi Danielle,
As of about two years ago, the site was pretty accessible. Most of the surveys were accessible. They seem to have more and more visual tasks though, like image captioning and data entry where there is an image of a receipt and you have to type in the data from it. I think it is worth a try though because you may find some tasks you can do. The pay is very low but if you’re looking for just a little extra income it is worth checking out. I find that the surveys, search engine related tasks, and task where you have to Google things and then type in what you found are the most accessible. If something ends up not being accessible, you can always reject the task. You can also search for certain types of tasks using the search box or you can filter them by various filters and types, so you can search for ones that are not image related. sometimes, there are transcription tasks, although I’m not sure how accessible they are. You also get the chance to preview each task before you except it, so I think they give you nine or 10 minutes to preview it so you can decide if you want to take it. I used to do this to determine if it was accessible or not so I wouldn’t have to keep rejecting tasks.
