As a weekend experiment, I have switched the comments module to using reCAPTCHA for the turing test.
It seems like a real cool idea to harvest spare brain cycles to aid in the digitization of old books or radio programs!
If you have any comments, please direct them here.
Comments module now using reCAPTCHA

I really like the idea. Unfortunately, I couldn't read the first two it gave me! (Guess there was a reason the OCR had problems with those! )
Also, (probably more of a question for reCAPTCHA than anyone here, but...) does capitalization matter on the "known" of the two words? And, since they have no way of knowing whether capitalization is correct on the "unknown" word which the user is identifying...how will they ensure that the final capitalization of digitized books is correct?
But overall, I like the idea. Hadn't heard of it; I might recommend it to some of my friends now.

Sorry for late response..can't see your post at front page.spchtr wrote:unmht would be the firefox extension for reading and saving mht files.
Just found your comment after i digging this forum.
Don't know what happened to my OS or browser.
For about a week..this site seems freeze to me.
All info not updated.
About Firefox browser plus UnMHT plug-in..
i tried to rip a complicated site like this one.
Then turn off my inet line..del browser cache..tmp..etc..
and reopen the mht file.....WOW!!!
I'm shocked! all the embedded files perfectly riped!
I'm really happy to know that..these all are important to me.
Many-many thanks Spchtr!
PM me if there is something i can do as return.
