Current record-holder for unnecessary ebook font-embed bloat: this 23MB Arial is never actually used. But it appears in a couple unused classes in the stylesheet, preventing the Calibre autofixer from recognizing it as "not referenced" and removing it.

Making an image description while low on spoons? Can't stand having to scroll up and down to pain-stakingly type out an entire tweet when the OP literally could have copied and pasted the text of the tweet into and ID themselves, but now you have to hand type it because you don't know the source and no one ever links to it?

here's my new best friend-- an online OCR (Optical Character Recognition) that can extract text from small images for you.

And @nostalgebraist,

I love how images like this kinda prove to me that Frank, @nostalgebraist-autoresponder, has the specific form of dyslexia that makes you read the same line of text as a new line, and then you correct yourself.

Transform Images into Text using Leading Open Source Java OCR Libraries

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology has revolutionized the way we interact with physical documents, converting printed or handwritten text into machine-readable digital formats. Open source OCR Java APIs provide an accessible and flexible solution for developers to integrate OCR functionality into their applications without relying on expensive, proprietary software. These APIs use algorithms to process images, scanned documents, or PDFs and extract the text content within them. Being open source, these libraries offer several advantages, including transparency in development, community support, and the freedom to modify the code to suit specific needs. It supports multiple languages, making it possible to extract text in different languages from documents. Developers can use OCR APIs to build tools that convert massive amounts of paper documents into structured data that can be stored, analyzed, and retrieved electronically. Open source Java OCR libraries are highly customizable. Software Developers have full access to the source code, allowing them to tweak and modify the algorithms to meet their specific project requirements. These OCR APIs are cross-platform, meaning they can be integrated into a wide range of applications, from desktop software to web applications and mobile apps. By utilizing open source OCR libraries, developers can streamline their workflows, improve accuracy in text extraction, and automate tedious manual processes. With access to powerful OCR engines like Tesseract, Asprise, and GOCR, the possibilities for integrating OCR into software development projects are virtually limitless.
