I've used mechanical turk in the past for easy tasks. This one requires a little learning and I feel people get a lot faster even after 1 day. My concern with Mturk is having different people all the time, which is a lot less efficient. To give you a number, right now it takes me 1-2 minutes to add a line, whereas for someone new it takes him 5-8 minutes. That's the kind of learning curve I'm hoping for if I hire the same person to do this for 2-3 weeks.

Do you know if Mturk can offer this? Thanks a lot!

I believe you can create a custom group of qualified workers on mturk
