Crowdsource

Google's Crowdsource application offers a variety of tasks for users to contribute to the accuracy and inclusivity of Google products. These tasks range from verifying the cultural accuracy of images to translating phrases and words into different languages. By completing these tasks, users not only help improve Google products for years to come, but also have the opportunity to connect with other contributors and receive perks such as exclusive invites to online Hangouts with Googlers and being featured on Crowdsource's social channels.

One of the tasks available on Crowdsource is Cultural Image Verification, where users answer simple yes/no questions to verify the cultural accuracy of images. This helps ensure that Google's image search results are inclusive and representative of different cultures. Another task, Question Understanding, allows users to select how well they can understand a given question, which helps improve the accuracy of Google's search results.

Users can also contribute to the accuracy of Google's speech technology through tasks such as Handwriting Validation, where they determine if the handwriting matches the text they see, and Audio Donation, where they record their voice to improve speech technology. These tasks help make Google's products more accessible for those with different speech and handwriting abilities.

In addition to improving the accuracy of Google's products, users can also contribute to the organization and labeling of information. Tasks such as Image Label Verification and Food Labeller allow users to verify if images are tagged correctly and identify the food in an image, respectively. This helps improve the search results for these specific categories and makes it easier for users to find what they are looking for.

By completing these tasks, users not only help improve Google products, but also have the opportunity to learn and connect with others in their local community. Whether it's on the go or during downtime, Crowdsource offers a convenient and rewarding way for users to make a positive impact on Google's products and their local community.
