I liked the free trial, but garbling part of the text is not a good idea. I glanced through the text to see what sort of output I got and thought "oh, that's rubbish, it's made tons of mistakes". It was only by chance that I actually read the bit at the top saying parts were garbled on purpose.
Why not just give 50% of the text and cut off with a message saying that's all you get in the trial? It give a better impression IMO.
Good luck with the startup!
- cemerick 16y agoGood point, no one reads documentation / site messages. :-) Cutting off content halfway through with a message at the end would work well for text extraction and other long-format sorts of data, but what about form data extraction and such? That's where the munging of content started really, and I'm not sure what a better solution would be for short key/value pairs.
