Description

Distributed Proofreaders is a free online platform that enables volunteer proof readers to help convert scanned books and digital documents into digital text and properly formatted e-books. Volunteers can join the project via a web-based interface and are provided access to the projects being proofread. They can then proofread the documents online, and submit their corrections. The web-based interface also provides various tools and advanced options for experienced proofreaders. In addition to proofreading, volunteers can also help to format, post-process, and upload the corrected documents to various digital libraries and booksellers. The project has helped to digitize and preserve a huge collection of books and documents, and makes them available to the public, free of charge.
