Last year, we introduced a preview of the new Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) Worker website. This preview introduced a new experience for searching, filtering, and browsing Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) on MTurk. Since then, we have continued to improve the new Worker website drawing on the helpful feedback we’ve received from Worker customers. Now, we are excited to announce improvements to the new Worker website. Starting today, Workers can not only search and browse for HITs, but they can also accept and submit HITs without leaving the new Worker website. This makes it even easier for Workers to use the new Worker website to complete work on MTurk.

Additionally, we’re pleased to share the following enhancements to the new Worker experience:

Mobile friendly

The new Worker website is mobile friendly. This means that Workers can now search, browse, preview, accept, and submit HITs using mobile devices as well as their desktop personal computers. To make it easier for Requesters to build with mobile friendly HITs for Workers, we refreshed each of the Requester Project templates to make them mobile ready by default. We look forward to helping more Workers complete HITs anytime and from anywhere.

Fewer false starts

Workers tell us that sometimes they start work on a HIT only to realize they forgot to accept it first. To help Workers avoid this situation, we added more prominent messaging to the HIT preview page. The HIT will also appear in gray to help guide Workers to accept the HIT first. We expect this will lead to fewer instances of Workers getting started before accepting.

Worker ID 1-Click Copy

Workers are sometimes asked to provide their Worker ID as part of a HIT they are working on. To make the Worker ID easier to find, we placed it in the top left corner of each page on the new Worker website. By clicking on the Worker ID, it is automatically copied to the Worker’s clipboard. This should make it even easier for Workers to access their Worker ID anytime they need it.

Workers who visit https://worker.mturk.com can now use the new Worker experience for completing HITs. We encourage Workers to share their thoughts and feedback to help us make sure we continue to build the best Worker experience together. Want to get started with MTurk and contribute as a Worker?
