Extension summary

Stax is a second-generation HIT automation tool for Amazon MTurk designed from the ground up to create a streamlined workflow experience. A ridiculous amount of time is wasted looking for work. Stax aims to reduce or eliminate that, allowing workers to focus on the parts that require an actual person at the wheel.

Features

  • Accept HITs whose requesters meet minimum custom standards
  • Built-in load balancer to reduce rate limit errors and maximize HITs watched
  • Manage HITs from an automatically synced queue
  • Filter HITs with one click by ID or requester, or by text description
  • Return multiple (or all) HITs at once
  • Activity tracker and hourly wage calculator
  • Custom themes

Is It Legit? Yes. Stax does not violate Amazon MTurk's Terms of Service because it does not complete HITs for you. Stax can be thought of as the logical next step from the current script ecosystem. HIT scrapers and HIT grabbers have existed for a long time now; Stax only combines the two into an integrated easy-to-use package. Other features of Stax, such as the enhanced queue management, are also allowed by Amazon MTurk.

I have downloaded and redownloaded the extension and it's missing the blacklist tab. Why?
by Brian Daniel, 2021-08-12

Major thanks to the maker of this very helpful, free tool. The only major thing it is missing is integration with the new TurkerView reviews. There are now substantially more TV ratings than TO, and I'm afraid the life of Stax is limited if it only sticks to TO ratings. Still, valuable contribution to the MTurk community.

This is an amazing extension that has more than tripled my production on Mturk. All around a great tool full of all the options that are needed to increase earnings on Mturk. I honestly don't know how this is a free tool as it is probably one of the most powerful tools to use on Mturk. Thank you devs for developing this and giving this to us for free. You are awesome! I highly recommend anyone looking to increase their earnings potential on Mturk to give Stax a try. You won't be disappointed.
