The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) needs people like you to assist professional archivists in identifying and correcting errors in our machine-generated transcript by playing a game called FIX IT. Players will have exclusive access to historic content and long-lost interviews from the AAPB. You could be the one to make sure that political leaders like John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, civil rights heroes such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela, or iconic writers such as Eudora Welty and Simone de Beauvoir are accurately identified for posterity.
From the comfort of your own home and computer, you can help the AAPB by playing in any of our three challenge areas: error identification, error correction, or validation of other players’ corrections. The more you play, the more points you gain!
