Help talk:Internet Archive
Add topicAdamBMorgan talk and Ineuw talk have created an excellent page on Internet Archive (IA), sometimes called Archives.org
I want to state that IA's OCR work as shown is done by ABBYY FineReader 8.0 is not updated to the newer version of ABBYY FineReader 11.
These versions make a lot of difference in the outcome of any project. I do not know why IA cannot or does not update this OCR ver. 11 program. New ver. 11 only costs $169.99
I would be willing to buy it for them if they would install and let everyone use it -- a gift from Wikisource.

- Your idea makes sense to me, perhaps directly contact any Internet Archive stuff and explain your proposal? Solomon7968 (talk) 17:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Problems trying to get a DjVu from Internet Archive
[edit]I've recently been working on File:Cassier's Magazine Volume XV.djvu. I'd like to load up some content from Cassier's Magazine Volume XXXI / File:Cassier's Magazine Volume XXXI.djvu too.
I'm over at https://ia-upload.wmcloud.org/commons/fill?iaId=cassiersmag3119061907newy&commonsName=Cassier%27s+Magazine+Volume+XXXI.djvu&format=djvu and trying to load from cassiersmag3119061907newy to Cassier's Magazine Volume XXXI, but I get the message "'cassiersmag3119061907newy' is not a valid Internet Archive identifier". Yet this message is web linked, and when I go to that link, I end up where I'd expect to on Internet Archive.
What's up here? Do I need to create a DjVu on IA or something? Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 13:09, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Can I do anything with this? File:Cassier's magazine (IA cassiersmagazi2719041newy).pdf It's a PDF, not a DjVu, but at least it has made it to Commons. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
