  • Abstract
    Human computation is a promising approach at solving computation tasks for which humans currently perform better than computers. Archive digitization is such a task. In this paper, we present our reCAPTCHA like archive digitization system, called trCAPTCHA, mainly targeting old Turkish archives and hence Turkish speaking audience. trCAPTCHA differs from reCAPTCHA that it uses no global dictionary but constructs a local dictionary for each scanned word from alternative texts generated through OCR readings.
