Abstract

An overview of public collaborative OCR text correction in the 'Australian Newspapers' service. The service has been available for 6 months and is innovative in enabling the public to enhance and improve the raw OCR text of newspapers. This is the first library in the world to have considered this as a viable idea and implemented it. The issues and results surrounding this are discussed.
