Those great folks at Carnegie Mellon have re-worked CAPTCHA into reCAPTCHApage and, on any site that uses it, every time you retype the text correctly you are correcting an OCR problem in an Internet Archives file. If you want to just contribute to the effort you can go to this site. Why not go in and do a couple today?
Of course this is not really so new but seeing the numbers is pretty amazing. The story is from ScienceDaily (2008-08-19).
