The EZCOD uses a base-32 encoding that equates 0, O, o, and , 1, I, i, and 2, Z, z, and 5, S, s. The real key asset that EZCOD has vs. the other common encoding systems is the ability to correct errors -- not just detect them.
Even the most basic version with one parity symbol allows you to recover 100% accuracy, if you can identify the symbol that is lost (eg. the letter rubbed off the page).
Thanks for the link; it looks like a great resource. A quick rundown of the list of "Desired Attributes" seems to match perfectly with what EZCOD provides -- with the addition of the error detection and correction.
