Methods and apparatuses for controlling access to computer systems and for annotating media files
First Claim
1. A method of digitizing media, comprising:
- designating at least one first portion of an electronic representation of characters of a document as not having a known answer and using the at least one first portion designated as not having a known answer as a read part of a challenge, wherein the challenge includes a verify part for which an answer is known and the read part for which the answer is not known;
presenting the challenge to multiple users;
receiving an interpretation of the read part of the challenge from a plurality of the multiple users;
comparing the received interpretations and establishing a confidence level for the interpretations;
responsive to one of the interpretations reaching a predetermined level of confidence, establishing the interpretation as correct;
using the interpretation established as correct to replace the first portion of the electronic representation of characters of the document; and
designating the first portion of the electronic representation of characters of the document as having a known answer.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for controlling access to computer systems and for annotating media files. One embodiment includes a method including generating a challenge to a user, wherein the challenge includes a verify part and a read part. The methods also includes prompting the user to solve both the verify part of the challenge and the read part of the challenge; receiving input from the user; determining if the input from the user relative to the verify part of the challenge corresponds with the known answer for the verify part of the challenge; and identifying the input from the user relative to the read part of the challenge as an answer to the read part of the challenge, if the input from the user relative to the verify part of the challenge corresponds with the known answer for the verify part of the challenge.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor operably coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to process the stored instructions to cause the system to; designate at least one first portion of an electronic representation of characters of a document as not having a known answer and use the at least one first portion designated as not having a known answer as a read part of a challenge, wherein the challenge includes a verify part for which an answer is known and the read part for which the answer is not known; present the challenge to multiple users; receive an interpretation of the read part of the challenge from a plurality of the multiple users; compare the received interpretations and establish a confidence level for the interpretations; responsive to one of the interpretations reaching a predetermined level of confidence, establish the interpretation as correct; use the interpretation established as correct to replace the first portion of the electronic representation of characters of the document; and designate the first portion of the electronic representation of characters of the document as having a known answer. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to cause a computing device to:
-
designate at least one first portion of an electronic representation of characters of a document as not having a known answer and use the at least one first portion designated as not having a known answer as a read part of a challenge, wherein the challenge includes a verify part for which an answer is known and the read part for which the answer is not known; present the challenge to multiple users; receive an interpretation of the read part of the challenge from a plurality of the multiple users; compare the received interpretations and establishing a confidence level for the interpretations; responsive to one of the interpretations reaching a predetermined level of confidence, establish the interpretation as correct; use the interpretation established as correct to replace the first portion of the electronic representation of characters of the document; and designate the first portion of the electronic representation of characters of the document as having a known answer. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
