文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由谷歌支持的名为Local Recall的项目可以通过点击一个按钮或口头提问来访问《东方日报》超过150年的报纸。文章还介绍了项目的运行过程以及面临的问题。

2 . The Eastern Daily Press (EDP), a newspaper covering Nolfolk, northern parts of Suffolk and eastern Cambridge shire, is published daily in Norwich, UK. Founded in 1879 as a broadsheet called the Eastern Counties Daily Press, it changed its name to the Eastern Daily press in 1872. The paper is now owned and published by Archant, formerly known as Eastern Counties Newspapers Group.

Soon, a Google-backed project named Local Recall giving access to over 150 years of Eastern Daily Press newspaper at the click of a button or spoken question will be released. Archant is home to archive that holds tens of thousands of newspapers-with some Norwich Mercury editions dating from as far back as the middle of the 18th century. In 2017, Archant applied to the Google Digital News Innovation Fund to breathe new life into the archive. The company received £600,000 from Google and part-matched the fund to start Local Recall.

The project began in early 2018 and with help from Norwich-based artificial intelligence and chatbot company Ubisend along with specialist historical scanning companies Towns Web Archiving and Findmypast, Local Recall has since digitized an estimated 750,000 pages of EDP newspapers. In the process, more than seven million articles have been uploaded online. The digitization process, while impressive, could not always guarantee exact recreation of the text. Factors such as paper thickness, marks on the page and general wear and tear could make results confusing. It became clear there was a need for human eyes to pick out errors.

Meanwhile, a platform was provided for an army of more than 800 volunteers to help proofread and correct the stories from days gone by. Melanie Duncan, 47, from Helleson, got involved in the project after learning about it through Facebook. “It’s a window of memories into our past that we might have no knowledge of otherwise. The project is an invaluable source of accessible information. I have enjoyed every minute of doing it so far,” she said. Soon, users will be able to explore EDP archives from October 1870 right up to the latest news through a subscription service available on monthly and annual price plan.

2. What was the challenge in the digitization process?

3. What are expressed in Melanie Duncan’s words?

4. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
