Description
Turk Guru BETA is a Chrome extension specifically developed for Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers looking to enhance their productivity and earnings. This tool automates the process of accepting new tasks, known as HITs, by allowing users to set detailed preferences. It leverages machine learning to filter and present opportunities that align with individual worker criteria.
The extension enables workers to accept tasks based on their history of liked and disliked tasks, ensuring they focus on work they find suitable. Users can also specify favorite keywords to target specific types of HITs and block keywords to avoid undesirable tasks. Furthermore, the ability to select only from favorite requesters provides an additional layer of control and personalization.
Turk Guru BETA offers robust filtering capabilities, allowing users to set criteria based on requester hourly wage rate, activity level, and approval rate. This ensures that workers are presented with high-quality and potentially lucrative tasks. For added convenience, the extension includes features like automatic task return when away from the desktop and a zero-click HITs queue drawer.
Worker feedback mechanisms, such as reactions for HITs and requesters, are also integrated, contributing to a community-driven improvement of the platform. By reducing the time spent manually searching for tasks, Turk Guru BETA empowers MTurk workers to focus on completing more HITs, thereby increasing their overall earnings and operational efficiency. This extension is currently in BETA testing, with a stable version available separately.
The developer, Turking Guru, has a good record with no history of violations. The extension is available in English and has a size of 1.82MiB.
