He really glosses over how he uses GPT-3 to correct the text...

  They might consider it a trade secret of sorts. If I were them, I wouldn't want someone to just take the idea and undercut me.

    I think from his explanation in the article it's quite straightforward to implement it yourself: get a GPT-3 subscription at OpenAI or MS Azure, use the API as described in the article, voilà. But the idea is genius indeed.

  From the screenshot I suspect the real secret is that it gives the user a chance to correct errors after scanning.

  It looks like he’s first using tesseract to recognize his handwriting and convert it into text. Tesseract doesn’t do a perfect job so the recognized text is full of mistakes. He treats the mistakes as spelling mistakes and “asks” GPT-3 to correct them. This is a very clever idea and will greatly improve current OCR efforts.

  That's a really interesting part, and probably why the OCR works good enough for such case. Not sure about legal implications of using it though: https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/09/23/1008729/openai-is-giving-microsoft-exclusive-access-to-its-gpt-3-language-model/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/09/23/1008729/openai-i... EDIT: it seems I have misunderstood the article - OP probably uses MS API to access GPT-3 anyway, so the point is moot.
