  • QUOTE: A Requester creates tasks on Mechanical Turk for Workers to work on. As a Requester, you use the Requester User Interface (RUI) to create tasks, check the status of your tasks, and accept or reject work performed on tasks. Workers see your account name (specified by your Amazon.com account) when they view and accept your tasks.
