Too few sampled comments (27) to say how often HN recommends it.?

HN discussionThe crowd sourcing aspect is accurate, but I think the turk half is used more generically past the actual Amazon browser GUI experience tool to whatever annotation tool one has available or has invested development in. Stuff like https://www.crowdflower.com/ One other thing worth pointing out is why you can't always lean on the Amazon Turk per se because some of the tasks you need to train from require specialist kn…

You get a thousand free rows with the CrowdFlower trial [1] and that's probably the most painless…

HN discussionHi zumda, I have used http://crowdflower.com before. You get an account manager to help you which is neccessary as there is no supporting documentation and the interface is a little confusing / unhelpful when things don't work out.
