Impressive how readable that still is, and how good our brains are at filling blanks, but you wouldn't want to rely on it. I'm not sure I can parse || as an x reliably for example. The uppercase alone works, lowercase is pretty challenging.
- xyproto 4y agoOn the upside, x isn't used that much.
- dsr_ 4y agoAs much as j, more than q and z.
- Waterluvian 4y agoI found the test sentence that we all know and love to be legible. I find a string of random characters to be impossible to read.
- bee_rider 4y agoI wonder if the test sentence is easier to read just because it is very familiar.
- deepspace 4y agoYes! I read "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog [something] times", and was scratching my head over the penultimate "word". Had to go into the source to recognize it as a string of digits.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoOh, totally; your brain is great at error correction, but the more you can reduce the search space / prefill the better it'll do.
- avgcorrection 4y ago(that’s the point being made)
- smusamashah 4y agoTest sentence is actually the training data for us. Luke one shot training. Author should have given random sentences after that one so that we could test how well have learned the font.
