I'm a new requester, can anyone help me
Post Body

I'm a new requester who would like to use MTurk to do transcription. Are there good resources to help me understand the best way to set up tasks like this? As in, I've created a requester account and there is no "transcribe a page of text template" (although there seems to have once been one, per this blog post), and I'm struggling to figure out the best way to create a job.

I have a number of specific questions: Do I need to post an image of each line to be transcribed, set up the request by page, or set of pages, or what works best?

If each line should have its own image, is there a fast way to turn an image into ~100 small images for each piece to be transcribed?

Can MTurk handle a transcription in a non-Latin alphabet?

Are there templates beyond what is available at mturk.com?

I'm sure I'll have more, is there a FAQ for this subreddit (with a focus on requesters)?
