Grunnhugmyndafræði

Dreifður prófarkalestur Rafbókavefsins er veflæg aðferð til að koma eldri prentuðum texta á rafbókaform.

Í yfirlestri fá notendur annars vegar skannaða mynd og hins vegar ljóslesinn text. Þannig er auðvelt að bera ljóslesna textann við upprunalegu síðuna. Þegar fyrsti yfirlesarinn er búinn með síðuna fær annar sömu síðu til að athuga hvort fleiri villur finnist þar..

Þegar allar síðurnar hafa verið yfirlesnar fara þær í eftirvinnslu þar sem þeim er safnað saman í rafbók sem er öllum aðgengileg á Rafbókavefnum..

How You Can Help

• Register with the site as a volunteer
  and/or
• Donate to the Distributed Proofreaders Foundation.

Registered volunteers may contribute to Distributed Proofreaders in several ways including proofreading, "smooth reading" pre-released e-books to check for errors, managing projects, providing content, or even helping develop improvements to the site. Volunteers may also join other members of our community in our forums to discuss these and many other topics.

Volunteering at Distributed Proofreaders

It's easy to volunteer at Distributed Proofreaders. Simply register as a volunteer. Once you've confirmed your registration by e-mail, you'll receive an introductory e-mail with basic instructions on how to log in and use the site. Then, you're ready to sign in and start learning to proofread or visit the smooth reading page to pick an e-book to read! Wherever you go, you'll find lots of information to help you get started.

There is no commitment expected on this site beyond the understanding that you do your best. Spend as much or as little time as you like. We encourage you to proofread at least a page a day and/or smooth read a book as often as your time allows, but it's entirely up to you.

We hope you will join us in our mission of "preserving the literary history of the world in a freely available form for everyone to use."

Distributed Proofreaders regrets that we are unable to verify court-ordered community service because our system cannot adequately record time spent participating.
