We have been working to enable Requesters from more countries to register for Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) so they can make use of MTurk’s on-demand crowdsourcing platform. In March, we added ten countries bringing the total number of countries supported to 17. So far, thousands of Requesters have registered from these countries and they have created millions of tasks for Workers.

Today, we’re pleased to add ten more countries making MTurk available to Requesters in a total of 27 countries. Now more Requesters than ever can use MTurk to innovate in the areas of gathering ground truth data for machine learning, transcription, categorization, market research, and more. When additional Requesters join MTurk, it helps create more diverse opportunities for Workers to earn rewards.

Starting today, Requesters from these 27 countries can sign up and use MTurk:

· United States

· Australia

· Austria

· Belgium

· Botswana

· Canada

· Denmark

· Estonia

· Finland

· France

· Germany

· Hong Kong

· Iceland

· Ireland

· Lithuania

· Luxembourg

· Malta

· Netherlands

· New Zealand

· Norway

· Poland

· Portugal

· Singapore

· Slovenia

· Sweden

· Switzerland

· United Kingdom

Once registered, Requesters in these countries will have access to all of the functionality to purchase Prepaid HITs, create Projects, and design tasks for Workers to complete. Tasks can be designed in any language. Requesters can use Qualifications to target Workers to complete their tasks if they require specific language skills. MTurk’s website and customer support will continue to be in US English only; Requester payments for rewards, bonuses and fees will also continue to be in US dollars.
