How expensive has mechanical turk gotten though over the years? I thought this was standard practice as well, running it multiple times to reduce human error and do random spot checking.
What is the current cost per HIT over years previously?
- danpalmer 8y agoThe last time I looked at this, a few years ago, it was ~$0.10 per HIT, and 2-3 would be needed, and that was for very simple data processing. We have quite complex data processing requirements with multiple interdependent fields, and UI, which would have increased the processing time, so I'd have guessed $1 per item processed total, plus extensive integration time. Our outsourcing gives is far better communication and the ability to train staff doing the processing over time, feedback on their performance, and help them get better. I don't know the figures, but I suspect it's a similar price but with far better accuracy, but we do have enough consistent work for this to make sense - if we were more spikey in our demand then it might not.
