Talk:Crowdsource (app)

Initial Comments - Ethan McCue .... provide Google with different information to feed its algorithms ...

This sentence is weird because why do algorithms need to be fed? It might be more helpful to be specific that they "feed" machine learning algorithms since that gives more context. or "provide training data to".

... Beyond the tasks that users can complete, the Crowdsource app has an achievements section that shows users stats and badges that they earn through completing different tasks in Crowdsource.[5][1][6][7] ...

I still think framing this section in terms of gamification is probably better since it is a more neutral way of describing an achievement feature. Describing achievements I feel comes close to marketing a feature while describing the gamification aspects is a bit more clinical.

... WIRED, Tom Simonite stated ... Who the frick?

... Googler "AnuragB" explains why Crowdsource is helpful to Google, detailing that the questions that Crowdsource asks users are designed to collect better samples of data to feed their machine learning algorithms.[1] ...

Legit asking, can you use reviews? Also, the term googler doesn't feel that neutral. I can't really articulate that feeling right now though, but like do they identify as a googler? Google User is a bit more formal but I don't know if it describes it and i dunno.

... Handwriting Recognition relies on users to read handwritten words and transcribe them to text. Completing this tasks helps Google Keyboard's handwriting feature.[1] ...

I think instead of asserting that it helps it might be more accurate to say that google has claimed that the blah blah blah improves blah blah blah.
