A9 Data Collection

A9 Data Collection allows users to get paid for taking photos using MTurk.

A9 Data Collection is a mobile app that allows users to take pictures of objects for Amazon’s mobile development team. The app is a joint project of the A9 team and Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Individuals who download this app will be directed to take and submit photographs of objects in a particular category, for which they will be eligible to receive compensation on a per image basis.

The app will only work for registered users of Amazon's Mechanical Turk service.
