Internationalization 🇫🇷

0.2.6

We internationalized our experiments. In addition to English, we now support French and German.

Pairwise image experiments

0.2.2

We introduced a new pairwise image experiment. We also added a way to preview images in datasets.

February 2025

Pre-screening

0.2.0

We have implemented our own pre-screening protocols. This allows us to provide you with a higher quality of raters whose ability and hardware enable them to detect fine differences between stimuli.

Feb 13, 2025

Crowd-sourced raters

0.1.6

It is now possible to launch experiments to crowd-sourced raters through our platform.

Feb 5, 2025

MUSHRA

0.1.5

We added configuration options to change how waveforms are rendered in MUSHRA experiments. In particular, it is now possible to only render the waveform of the reference so that raters can not draw conclusions based on the waveform.

Audio experiments and API

0.1.4

Release 0.1.4 is packed with new features:

  • A new API for fetching results programmatically.
  • A new absolute category rating (ACR) experiment for audio stimuli.

MUSHRA 🪲

0.1.3

We addressed some minor bugs in the MUSHRA experiment.

Jan 16, 2025
