OTTO
OTTO is a revolutionary new application that can not only make you more money from Mechanical Turk, but change the way you work as well.
OTTO is a Chrome Extension that searches for Hits in much the same way that a scraper would, and automates the placement of Hits into your work queue in much the same way that Panda Crazy currently does. It searches for Hits, and filters them according to pay amount and other criteria. When it finds a Hit that meets your criteria, it places it into your work queue, opens a new tab for the Hit, and notifies you with a sound.
​
You don't search for Hits anymore. You don't spend hours staring at a scraper. You just spend your time working...instead of looking.
How Much Does OTTO Cost ?
Currently, a monthly subscription to OTTO is $18

It's More than Hits...OTTO Makes mTurk Work Fun Again
OTTO frees you up from staring endlessly at a scraper in hopes of catching Hits, or Pandas. You just set it, and walk away. Work at your own pace, make more money. OTTO makes mTurk the way it should have been all along.
Does OTTO Violate mTurk Policies ?
OTTO operates in accordance with mTurk’s policies. It does not attempt to complete Hits on your behalf. It does not assist in the completion of Hits at all. It does not submit Hits for you. It merely places Hits of your choice into your work que. This is exactly what Panda Crazy currently does...but OTTO performs this task more gracefully, and in connection with its own scraper.
​
There are other Applications like this out there. Why should I use this one and not another's ?
​
Yes, there are..and some of them are pretty good. With The OTTO Forum, you always know where you can find us. Our platform, consisting of hundreds of SuperWorker members, is always there to help...and you can always get a reply directly from us in a short amount of time. We work on mTurk every day, year-round. We're known as the most friendly mTurk user forum on the web.
