Duolingo raises $15M for language learning and crowdsourced translation
by dbrownblogs
Computer scientist and entrepreneur Luis von Ahn has already put the crowd to work identifying images online and digitizing books. Now, the founder of ESP Game (which became Google Image Labeler (s GOOG)) and Recaptcha is determined to get them to translate the entire web – while they learn a new language.
Founded last year, Duolingo is a free online service that helps people learn languages while also translating real-world content from the web.
