The first part is about how reCAPTCHA is used to digitise books. The second part is about Duolingo, which sounds like a very clever idea for doing translations while learning a new language.

An-spéisíuil, a mhwombat! I think Duolingo might at least be an improvement over Google trashlate.

Translating to learn a language, what a novel idea. :LOL: (Some credit should go to Eoin and IGTF for that. :yes: )

That entire video is one of the most interesting I have ever seen. Worth keeping an eye on.

If you enjoyed that video, there's plenty more like that at http://www.ted.com . The speakers are all top-notch, the ideas are fascinating, and I learn something from every video.
