All text in Brooklyn
- samstave 2y agohttps://i.imgur.com/xvHD8fK.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/xvHD8fK.jpeg This would be really useful in GeoLocation GeoGuessing games - and in order to ID a location based on any limited text you can discern. Wonder how hard it would be to apply it to other locations.
- autokad 2y agothere is a game that did that, played it during the pandemic, it would start as a google street view and you could move along the street. the goal was to guess the location as quickly as possible
- filoleg 2y agoGeoguessr. Its popularity has only been on a steady rise to this day. For those curious, there are different modes, including the one where you cannot move along the street at all (but you can look around by turning in that same stationary spot).

- MisterTea 2y agoMust be bombarded with requests as it is not loading anything for both pizza and farts (dont ask...)
- codethief 2y agoSame here! (Not looking for farts, though :-))
- misiti3780 2y agoi searched "natural wine", found some new wine shops
- itishappy 2y agoNobody seems to be offering "synthetic wine."
- pimlottc 2y ago“All text” would be a better name, I thought it was going to be about SMS messages
- jufankz 2y agoyou commented and I listened! now it's all branded `all text in nyc` and also redirecting to `alltext.nyc`. Thanks for all the enthusiasm!
- lupire 2y agoGoogle Maps Platform rejected your request. This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. Request received from IP address [REDACTED], with referer: https://www.alltext.nyc/
- iecheruo 2y agoMy vote's for "Word on the street" Probably doesn't translate well to a domain name though
- defrost 2y agowordseen.nyc has a few layers; it's short, phonetic, includes "words" (plural), homonyms for "word scene", literally describes the collection of each word seen in public scenery, etc. Arguably wordscene.nyc also.
- polynomial 2y agoIndeed, the domain is literally alltext.nyc, and not alltexts.nyx (as mistakenly annotated here fsr.)
- divbzero 2y agoIt was originally alltexts.nyc but changed to alltext.nyc based on the suggestion above.

- mission_local 2y agoThey should do this in the Mission. It might be useful in mapping gang/cartel territories over time
- xyst 2y agoSide note: kind of cool that nyc gets their own domain. It’s unfortunate that GoDaddy is the registrar though.

- elliottcarlson 2y agoGoDaddy is the registry, but not the sole registrar that it can be registered through. Both NameCheap and Gandi are options - and I am sure others too. NB: I work for GoDaddy, but am not responding in any capacity on their behalf.
- corytheboyd 2y agoFWIW it was one of the new gTLDs (2014) https://icannwiki.org/.nyc https://icannwiki.org/.nyc
- epc 2y agoIt’s been kind of useless honestly. The city allowed the registrars to reserve many domains as “premium” domains, i.e. almost all neighborhoods were reserved with prices in the tens of thousands of dollars. Initially you had to specify a NYC postal address, no PO boxes, allegedly to prevent domains from being scooped up by non-NYC entities. And there was no privacy protection (that seems to have changed).

- o10449366 2y agoCrazy that you can't find any 7soulsdeep graffiti on here
- idreyn 2y agowas also looking for some KEST GAK stickers
- zuminator 2y agoOld school "COST" showed up for me as the first result for that word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Cost https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Cost
- nilsherzig 2y agoKES found some, I think the problem is that most stickers are layered
- cmwright 2y agoI had the same thought - got some results for "GAK" https://www.alltext.nyc/?search=gak&page=1 https://www.alltext.nyc/?search=gak&page=1
- HaZeust 2y agoBeen awhile since I've been out to NYC - is KEST and RIBS still a big thing out there?
- indoordin0saur 2y agoI tried searching for FREE SMELLS but I think the server is currently overwhelmed
- relyks 2y agoIt appears to succeed my litmus test: https://brooklyn.alltexts.nyc/?search=moshiach&page=1 https://brooklyn.alltexts.nyc/?search=moshiach&page=1 For those who don't know, Chabad, an orthodox Jewish organization, has a large promotional presence in Brooklyn
- standardUser 2y agoPenis worked! Very impressive. I agree with the other commenter that the name "all texts" makes me think specifically of text messages.
- relyks 2y agoNot as many results as I was expecting though lol
- xanadu132 2y agois there a way to train this to read graffiti? it would be an awesome tool to see who has the most tags in nyc.
- jnichols35 2y agoThe first thing I searched for was my favorite graffiti[0]. I always see it while walking the dog. It brought up a lot of false positives like 'mart' and 'part' if they were at an angle or partially obscured. I also tried searching for Blob Dylan since there always seems to be a bunch of those around, and it only brought up 2–3 results[1].

- lqcfcjx 2y agothis looks cool! just curious how you extracted all these texts?
- kevinpacheco 2y agoThere is much that isn't indexed here. "718" yields less than 4,000 hits, which seems very low. There are many old buildings in Brooklyn that still sport "fallout shelter" signs, but ATiB returns only 13 results for that term, with many duplicate images. Here's an example of a missing result, probably one of thousands: https://maps.app.goo.gl/AdsYFzf7MAZoo4Vc8 https://maps.app.goo.gl/AdsYFzf7MAZoo4Vc8
- j_bum 2y agoThis is such a neat site, thanks for sharing. I wanted to use a word that I figured would be rarely seen in Brooklyn, so I tried: “Gripe” The correct identifications center around “Vacuna de la gripe” (flu vaccine). The remainder are all mismatches, such as “Grape” at a very sharp angle. Funnily, the majority of the mislabeled samples are all due to the “Good Grips” brand logo. This logo has a small underlined “s” at the end that looks like a “E” when you squint at the JPEG. I’ll give the OCR model a pass on this one!
- rubica 2y agoI tried "google" and it show's all the watermarks in Google Maps, LOL
- indoordin0saur 2y agoSo you're the one who broke the server?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- 0x112233 2y agoI was a bit sad that "kest gak" yielded nothing, but then tried individual "kest" and "gak" and found the familiar tags. Fun site
- _sys49152 2y ago[dead]
- itqwertz 2y agoFun app, I'm having a good time! The OCR has a lot of false positives, though. "Truck" definitely was not what I was looking for, but it makes up a significant amount of the search. "culo" fuzzy/exact results were also surprisingly disappointing :) . If there's a way to change the text-matching accuracy and add this filter to the front-end, I'd be lost here forever. Switching locations would also be a fun way to scale this up. Throw an Adsense add on there and you're looking at a decent passive income!
- nanoservices 2y agoIf I search for Google it returns a massive dataset because it is also looking at the Google watermark in the street view scraped data.
- pwenzel 2y agoI'm amazed how many NYC addresses have "666" in them!
- indoordin0saur 2y agoI swear 666 and 420 are the most common street addresses in the city
- saghm 2y agoI feel like there's a bias for this, where you likely wouldn't register seeing a mundane number a bunch (like say, 378), but 666 and 420 would stick out even once, so you'll remember all the other times you've seen them. From googling though, I'm having trouble finding a name for this that I'm familiar with; the best I can find seems to be salience bias[1], but I'm not sure if that's what I was thinking of; I've certainly never heard of it before.

- islewis 2y agoI've been either stunned, or disappointed depending on the word. "hello" gives four images of the same building with "hello" clearly written, as well as a few images of "hello" grafiti. Impressed "table" gives six results- four of which are clearly pictures of either leaves or the sky. Two are blurry buildings, but I cant seem to find the text "table"... it could be there though? Not impressed "car" gives Six unique results, some of which "car" is the prefix of a word. Impressed Either way, really cool project.
- tootie 2y agoI searched a phrase for a pizza place near me that has a slightly stupid name for a type of pizza and alltext found it. Very impressive.
- fecal_henge 2y agoNo results: cloaca
- sethkim 2y agoThis is really cool, and hints at a near-future possibility of building a search engine on top of just about anything. It's clear we've moved past the ability to just search for website url's and webpage content. Anything that can be indexed - regardless of type of data or dimension (space, time, etc.) will be searchable.
- saghm 2y agoI seem to be getting two of every picture for everything I search
