Importing templates and batches

Tavra imports HTML task templates with ${variable} placeholders and CSV batch files from any source, Mechanical Turk's formats included, into a preview you check before paying.

The preview

Before you pay, the preview shows the number of tasks and slots per row, the review window each task will use and the fee for the order. The fee is charged once per order, so a batch of 1,000 tasks at $0.10 pays 20% of its rewards, not a minimum on every task.

Imported tasks go through the same content screening as any other task.

Results

Results export as CSV with Input. and Answer. columns in your template's field names, or as JSON, so analysis scripts written for Mechanical Turk's results files keep working.
