Earn through Amazon Mechanical Turk

At this time, you would probably notice that most of the information we see in the internet is processed automatically by computers, bots, etc. Welcome to the information age (Web 2.0 and Globalization 2.0). Eventhough computer processors process much more complicated information at this time, there are a lot of things these computers cannot process.
Computers has difficulty processing audio information and images. And that’s the reason why there are a lot of medical transcribers working all night transcribing audio recording from doctors. You have also probably heard the term CAPTCHA or “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” which limits a computer from spamming or accessing certian information.
There is a website that would be a source of your earnings while you are at home. And this is called Amazon Mechanical Turk. This is a collaboration of task looking for people who wants to process information that cannot be processed by a computer or Human Intelligence Task (HIT) such as image recognition, audio transcription, program reviews and more. That’s why they call this the Artificial Artificial Intelligence.
People earn from this program and all you have to do is register and start accepting tasks. Each task has a specific qualification. But in general, if you can type and read, there is a big probability that you are qualified.
Is Mechanical Turks’ membership open for Filipinos? How will they send the earnings?
I think it is still in beta, but it is working alright now in the states. try visiting the PinoyBusiness.ORG Forum
thi first time i visited your site. could you possibly update me on the availability of amazon’s mechanical turks’ among filipinos?
Great tip. This is the first time that I heard of this new make money online scheme but if this is still in beta, well, it better be out for good so this is literally really something new.
This is great, if, Filipinos are allowed to join. We should have Bank Account to the U.S. first before joining I tried adding a dollar bank account here in the Philippines but not worked. The routing numbers are incorrect. Hope they can include bank account here in the Philippines so that we can join too. This is a great opportunity for the Philippines.
