Way back when I first was getting into the computer industry, I heard about this magical technology called OCR that allowed a computer to actually READ what was scanned in and convert it into text.
I had a great deal of fun that day scanning in hand-written phrases and seeing if the computer could read my writing. That was about seven years ago. It wasn't all that great at reading either my printing or pages of books. I'd assumed that in the intervening years the technology had been improved.
Apparently not.
Admittedly, this page wasn't terribly clear, so the computer was at a bit of a disadvantage, but sometimes it isn't even close! It is ironic (and quite funny!) that it had problems reading words such as "readable."
