Turking Scripts and Add-ons

BROWSER EXTENSIONS/ADD-ONS

  • TurkOpticon: (abbreviated 'TO' on this subreddit) A website where turkers come together and rate the requesters that we work for. Turkopticon also has an incredibly useful extension that displays the community ratings of requesters right on the mTurk site.

  • AutoPager: Automatically loads the next search results page as you scroll down. Turkopitcon and Block Requester don't display on extended search pages.

SCRIPTS

For Firefox you'll need to install Scriptish or Greasemonkey to run these. For Chrome, Tapermonkey will make these easier to install and some require it.

  • Block Requesters: This script lets you block/ignore requesters from your search results. It will place a little 'x' beside each requester's name. To block, just click the 'x'. This helps clean up your search results, and saves you time when you block scammers/requesters with poor ratings. Props to xxdohxx for reviving this script and fixing it so it works in Chrome!

  • Pending Earnings: Adds up your pending earnings and displays them on your dashboard below your total earnings.

  • Today's Projected Earnings: Similar to above except it totals your projected earnings for the day. It doesn't take bonuses into account though.

  • Expanded Header Info: Displays your account balance and worker ID in the header. Just put your mouse cursor over your WorkerID to select it and CTRL+C to copy.

  • Requester ID & Auto Approval Time: Displays the Requester ID in case they change their name and the HIT's auto approval time.

  • Amazon Payments mTurk Details: Adds details for mTurk transactions to your Account Activity page.

  • MTurk HIT DataBase: Extended ability to search HITs you have worked on and other useful tools. New

  • MTurk Dashboard Change Notifier: Shows changes in submitted HITs, bonuses and earnings since last page load. New

  • MTurk Worst Case Scenario Calculator: Shows what your approval rate would be in worst case scenario and how many rejections it will take to drop your approval percentage. New

  • MTurk Status Page Chart: Adds some eyecandy & graphs to your Amazon Mechanical Turk status page. New

  • MTurk Dashboard HIT Status links: Adds quick links to rejected and pending HITs. New

  • Mturk Block Individual Requests: Similar to the Block Requesters script, but for individual HITs. Created by redditor turksquatch New

  • Turk Worker ID Display: Displays your worker ID on HIT preview and accept pages, as well as on Qualtrics and Surveymonkey - visually gets in the way of the Extended Header script a bit. Created by redditor turksquatch New
