OCR Correction Certification
Correcting machine-read text against the source image without silently rewriting it.
What this certification covers
OCR Correction sits in the Data Annotation & Labeling track (Beginner). You read 3 written modules in order — each one has to be completed before the next opens — then sit a ten-question exam marked on our servers against a fixed answer key. Pass at 80% and the certificate is issued.

Concepts tested
Character fidelity
The correction matches the glyphs on the page, not what reads better.
Layout preservation
Keeping line, column and reading order intact through the edit.
Inferred characters
Text you reconstructed from context and marked as uncertain.
Language variant
Script and regional forms that must not be swapped for a familiar one.
Silent normalisation
Quietly standardising spelling or digits, which destroys the record.
