Interesting project, but so many design problems with the approach to involve users.

Use OCR first, then use humans to verify.

Next, present a task right up front that anyone can help with -- draw people right in. Don't make users "look for work" and minimize/eliminate the need for training.

For example: "If there's a date shown, enter it here ______" (with an option for "no date").

Or, "Correct this text as it appears on the card: ________"

Or, "Is there an attribution/credit mentioned? If so, enter it here ____________________"

etc.
