Trove
An online discovery service operated by the National Library of Australia that aggregates digitised books, newspapers, images, archives, and other cultural-heritage content, with integrated OCR-error correction tools. Trove is frequently cited in accessibility and crowdsourcing research because it allows any registered user to correct OCR errors in digitised Australian newspapers directly in the browser, and it has collected tens of millions of volunteer corrections. Like similar GLAM crowdsourcing platforms, Trove's accessible content is only as accessible as its OCR output — so the correction pipeline has direct downstream effects on blind and low-vision readers accessing Australia's documentary heritage.
