4. Announcing the launch of UTL crowdsourcing OCR correction project
The University of Texas Libraries is launching a crowdsourcing effort to correct the OCR (optical character recognition) output for the Egyptian periodical, جريدة البلاغ الاسبوعي (Jaridat al-Balagh al-Usbu’i). A pilot set of issues of Jaridat al-Balagh is available through the UTL Digital Collections Portal, and this crowdsourcing project seeks to gather the data necessary to make those images full-text searchable.
If you are interested in participating, please visit the project at FromThePage and follow the instructions to create a collaborator account. At present, there are two issues of the periodical with rough OCR available for correction. We will be adding more issues in the coming weeks.
Please share widely! I’m leading this effort so that we can make more UTL digital collections––and more non-English, non-Roman script digital collections––accessible and useful for researchers. I sincerely appreciate your participation and feedback.
Best wishes,
Dale
