Could the text used in Captcha be used to verify the OCR results of old text scanned by Google Books?
-
I was thinking, would it be possible for Captcha to sell the service to Google Books to help to ensure that the OCR for the Google books which have been scanned in are correct? (eg they usually have one easy word, and one hard one) This could mean that Google improves it's text corpus, and Captcha is given a large resource of captcha text. It might be possible to farm the images of the words which grammatically don't quite make sense, or images of text which OCR simply couldn't detect. (Also could be a very helpful real time text recognition service which is onsold by Captcha).
