Mturk sometimes has a bit of latency from issued HITs to cascade through the system, but you can issue anticipatory tasks to counteract this latency.
The more $$ you offer, the less time it will take someone to take it on.
Combining these two concepts, bundle dozens of tasks into a single HIT, and score based on completion and promptness. You're going to have to build your own rating software, but this is very possible to do. Just be up front that promptness counts; most of the time it doesn't.
- staticautomatic 10y agoI disagree, at least for certain tasks. For example, I had a data entry task that I wanted done in near real-time. It basically amounted to "Type in the 5 lines of text in this document." I ran some tests on MTurk and found zero relationship between amount of money offered and the speed with which people accepted the job.
