They would probably have to OCR the thing.
- johnchristopher 13y agoWhat are interns for ? Or are they "non-essential" employees ?

- archangel_one 13y ago2560 characters isn't that many. You'd have to proofread the OCR'd version anyway, I'd say it'd be easier to just type it in.
- MagicWishMonkey 13y agoNope. Ladar intentionally used an obscure font (some variant of Helvetica with extremely narrow kerning) to make OCR difficult. Obviously it would be possible to apply OCR, but it would take a few days/weeks to train the algorithm. An out of the box solution would not work.
