Readabl = Paperkarma.com 2 guys from microsoft who created the iphone app about 3 months ago now * i did a little digging on them i got curious *
They've lowered the approved HITs requirement to 2500 on two types of HITs. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchbar?selectedSearchType=hitgroups&requesterId=A2YW2GCVA51U3S
I have been avoiding them because their TO rating is not that good. Anyone have experiences with that requester to share?
I hesitate to do too many more. > "... Note: Very few photos are legitimately not readable or not mail." (Pffffft. I'm seeing a lot of lousy photos where the sender is not clearly identifiable.) > "... If you choose these options too often, you will be blocked."
Ha ha, I bet the rejection was because I examined an image closely to discover the real name of the sender in obscure small-print, whereas most others probably chose the larger-printed wrong name ... I don't know for sure if that was the one that got rejected, but it makes sense under majority rules.
That's a big problem with Readabl. I did some for them during their first month, when they didn't have any requirements, and an unacceptable amount were rejected. I thought that was odd since I only did HITs where I was 100% certain of who sent the catalog/letter. Then I looked at their $0.05 HITs where you gather contact information for the sender and noticed that a lot of them were associated with the wrong company. I saw one with three different pictures of a sales flyer from Radio Shack, that was labeled as "Great Deals." I gave up all hope of them being a good requester at that point.

I know when there were no requirements - I did these all the time.. Now since I am still under 95% (94%) I can't do them now. But I did notice they stopped the requirement to rotate, at least when I was still able to do so. But I never had a reject on these..
They have changed the Qualifications required. Now you also have to have 5000 approved HITs and a country setting of US. I can understand the US part, but why someone with 5000 can do the job better than someone with 500 is a complete mystery to me.
