Why do you think this survey about transcription was posted?

    Yesterday, I came across an interesting survey on mturk asking for feedback, specifically about Casting Word, SpeechInk, and transcription in general. It had me wondering why it was posted, like maybe turkers have been sending in complaints or perhaps both SI and CW are noticing hits aren't moving as fast as they'd liked and are trying to figure out why. What do you think?

    I didn't see it. However maybe another company is considering using mturk for transcription?

    Hmm, that sounds interesting. I hope so, because CW and SI need competition!

    No, it had nothing to do with that. It was a hit posted by mturk asking workers for feedback.

    WOW, Thanks, I'll look for it. As transcription is different in task and pay from the rest of MT I'd be interested to discover more.
