- mc32 3mo agoTrue but like regular document scanning software there can be errors in detection.
- dleeftink 3mo agoJust as with redacted documents (consistently blocked terms) or bad OCR jobs (wrong or missing characters), even if only a certain percentage comes out unmangled it is more readable than having no data at all. A stable base corpus and some dynamic programming will allow you to clean up the remainder[0]. [0]: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11642687/2449774 http://stackoverflow.com/a/11642687/2449774
- mkl 3mo agoThe problem is when you can't tell which bits are unmangled. OCR systems will happily give you plausible but wrong readings, and even some scanners/copiers will change things: https://dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning https://dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are...
- selcuka 3mo agoYeah. There was a weird Xerox printer bug that swapped digits (turning 6s into 8s) on scanned documents caused by the JBIG2 image format [1].
