I would like to see how it performs with massively warped and skewed scanned text images, basically a scanned image where the text lines are wavy as opposed as straight horizontal, where the letters are elongated. One where the line widths are different depending on the position on the scanned image. I once had to deal with such a task that somebody gave me with OCR software, Acrobat, and other tools could not decode the mess so I had to recreate the 30 pages myself, manually. Not a fun thing to do but that is a real use case.

- edude03 2y ago"Yes" but if a human could do it "AI" should be able to do it too.
- amelius 2y agoAre you trying to build a captcha solver?
- SilentM68 2y agoNo, not a captcha solver. When I worked in education, I was given a 90s paper document that a teacher needed OCRd but it was completely warped. It was my job to remediate those type of documents for Accessibility reasons. I had to scan and OCR it but the result was garbage. Mind you I had access to Windows, Linux and MacOS tools but still difficult to do. I had to guess what it said, which was not impossible but it was time-consuming, not doable in the time-frame I was given, so I had no option but to manually retype all the information into a new document and convert it that way. Document remediation and accessibility should be a good use case for A.I., in education.
