===Crowdsourcing=== [[Crowdsourcing]] humans to perform the character recognition can quickly process images like computer-driven OCR, but with higher accuracy for recognizing images than that obtained via computers. Practical systems include the [[Amazon Mechanical Turk]] and [[reCAPTCHA]]. The [[National Library of Finland]] has developed an online interface for users to correct OCRed texts in the standardized ALTO format.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.helsinki.fi/fennougrica/2014/02/21/ocr-text-editor/|title=What is the point of an online interactive OCR text editor? - Fenno-Ugrica|date=2014-02-21}}</ref> Crowd sourcing has also been used not to perform character recognition directly but to invite software developers to develop image processing algorithms, for example, through the use of [[Tournament theory|rank-order tournaments]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Riedl, C. |author2=Zanibbi, R. |author3=Hearst, M.
