RECAPTCHA. Captchas are well known for keeping automated spammers out and letting humans in. However, ReCaptcha is a rather clever service using them to help digitize books scanned into the Internet Archive as well. It’s a project from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon.

In re-Captach, the user is presented with two words, one of which is known, and one not. If the user correctly identifies the known word, it’s assumed they also got the unknown word right too. The results are sent back to the research team.
Thus, this reCAPTCHA version is used to decipher and digitise old documents.
