Like someone else said, I just use MTS and the hits here. I do have batch hits saved on HC. Learning how to use PC. And I use the filter for hits on mturk itself. A lot of it is quals - i'm sure i have a bunch over the last 14 years. Just hang in there, don't get distracted, learn batches (but don't do too many of any one batch unless your approved hits can stand - I have an almost 5000 hit buffer) Don't knock penny hits. Experiemt - see what you like . I can fly thru sentiment batches, others hate 'em. Me, i hate transcription.
Hang in there!
