speech comprehension in noise - $0.01 +6.72 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$34.17 / hour

00:11:49 / completion time

Pros

- "You will be compensated $0.01 for completing this task, regardless of whether you pass it or fail. The main experiment will take about 40 minutes to complete. There are a total of 60 short sentences, and for each correct word you type you will receive a payment of $ 0.03. So, your maximum payment for this HIT will be around $7.00 , plus the $0.01 for the screening task."

Cons

- Most of these were extremely hard to decipher. It's only really worth it if you can get a decent bonus which doesn't seem realistic.
- Even though there is a progress bar showing how many phrases out of 60 you've done and whether you got them right or not, it does not tell you the total amount correct at the end. You're left wondering what the full bonus amount is going to be.

Naturalness rating of musical sounds - $0.01 +4.17 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$12.74 / hour

00:19:41 / completion time

Pros

This is an extremely straightforward and easy task. You simply rate how 'natural' a 7-10 second piece of music sounds to you (0-10 scale). There are about 80-100 total trials.

Besides main task, short questions about your musical abilities (~2-5 min) - and of course demographics.

Approved and bonus paid same day.

Cons

It is long, and there is no getting around it. Every trial is timed before you can make your rating.

There is basically a short qual where you must play short tones and rate them before you can move forward (i.e. which is the softest tone).

There may be no audio in the initial testing portion. Disregard that and move on, it's a glitch. If you hear nothing, just click next and you can move forward with the tone testing and task itself.

speech comprehension in noise - $0.01 +10.66 bonus Confirmed!

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$22.53 / hour

00:28:25 / completion time

Pros

First you have to pass the screening - there is a practice run which I thought was very helpful - main task, work through 90 short spoken sentences - very hard to hear - for every correct word you type you earn 0.03 bonus up to around $7.00 - could be done faster
01.04.22-received a bonus of $10.66 - generous pay with the bonus

Cons

I had to do some amendments to my audio settings to enable me to hear the calibration part which worked in the end - a couple of these I could not hear a thing at all - bonus was not mentioned at the end so I have no idea how much to expect.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
