Sorry to hear about that experience. You should consider using Scale API (www.scaleapi.com). This is a perfect use case for our data collection API: https://doc

- Arcsech 10y agoWhy does the "Scale" logo on this page not link to your home page? From that API documentation page I have no context about what Scale API is or what it does. The "Introduction" page isn't even that helpful if I've never heard of you before. All that said, Scale API seems like a nice alternative to Mechanical Turk for some kinds of tasks.
- freehunter 10y agoIt's a fair point. Lots of documentation pages or company blogs don't link to the company's main website, and it's super annoying.
- ayw 10y agoWe're working on redesigning and cleaning up all of our pages! Sorry about that
- giarc 10y agoVery interesting. I will keep this in mind since we do have another 10,000 or so jobs that we'll need completed in the next while. The pricing page isn't totally helpful. I'm not sure if I would fall under `Comparison $0.10` or `Data Collection $0.25/minute`... or if many of those prices apply to a single job. Either way, I'll keep your product in mind.
- ayw 10y agoCool! We're working on a redesign of the pricing page—stay tuned :)
- brilliantcode 10y agoTbh I found scaleapi to be quite expensive, much more than implementing your own QA process on Turk. Also if scaleapi goes down you have to do the work all over again. Scaleapi is nothing new, there have been others before but they were gone as quickly as they came, and suddenly all the API code stopped working. It was a bad enough experience that I'd never base my mission critical product on a 3rd party startup. Amazon could go bad too but a small startup it's almost expected.
