I keep seeing people mention TO but I have no idea what it means. Help please!

 

TO stands for Turkopticon, which is a site that lets you read and post reviews of different requesters on mturk. You can check it out here to download the script for it.

Is there anyway to update the Pending HIT's dollar amount? It's been showing up as $47 for the past few days, and I'm sure I have more than that in pending HIT's.

Edit: That was surprisingly simple. Thanks Sanurah!

 

Click on it, it will cause it to update.

 

Yeah, click it to update, and if it still doesn't work, maybe start using HIT database instead.

 

Can anyone tell me how to get check4change to work for a specific requester? I have it installed and my database keep updating, but that's as far as I was ever able to get. TIA

 

Search for a requester. Highlight the text "Your search did not match any HITs." and right click on your mouse. Scroll down to Check4Change, and choose your desired refresh rate.

Here's the tutorial:

I see a lot of audio transcribing things that have a certain name and a number. Does this mean those are reserved for certain members?

 

What kind of search terms do yall use to find good HITs?
I want to be able to contribute to the Great HITs thread, but I never know how to find really good stuff.

 

Thanks so much. I had tried everything I could find, and none of it made sense. I really appreciate the help.

 

Is there a trick or a script to change the "next" or ">>" buttons into a keystroke? I feel like I lose so much time mousing down to the next button on every screen.

 

I don't really use search terms, I just filter by Most Hits Available, or Newest Hits Created. Or, sort the HITs by the amount paid. There's a lot of ways to go about it.

 

You can always hit Tab until it highlights the "next" or ">>" and then click Enter.

 

So i have asked a couple questions via message on turk and I'm not seeing any sort of inbox or anything? do these just show up in my email when they answer?

 

Yes, they will show up in your email inbox. Make sure you check your spam folder, as well.

 

It depends on what I feel like doing that day. If it's a survey kind of day then I'll probably type in survey and arrange the results by newest first. If I feel like writing or something I'll type in article, rewrite or anything that has to do with writing and arrange by highest paying.
