Google launched its Crowdsource application on Android. According to multiple published reports, the app allows users to complete short tasks to help improve the quality of Google’s services, like Google Translate and Google Maps.
With Crowdsource, users can complete tasks related to handwriting recognition, image transcription and text translation. As an example, one task may present users with a picture of one or more words, and they will be asked to type the word(s) they see.

The app’s description on Google Play reads:

Every time you use it, you know that you’ve made the internet a better place for your community. The Crowdsource app is available to download for free on Google Play.
