I figured as much (or you would have figured it out yourself).But the interesting thing is, I was using this the other day to translate something from images for the ST Cosmos Chronicles page.... it was in French, but it was also in images. Overall, it wasn't too bad an experience and I was able to go from image to text to translation.But yeah, if I had thought you were serious I would have done more to reach out and get it to you faster.
It was a joke. The cut/paste is wrong too - a lot of f'ups in there. I've never understood why we can do pretty damn good OCR, but we can't copy/decipher text from an image correctly.
I seem to remember this being how I got Pong on my A8. I entered rows and rows of DATA statements. Then poof, I had Pong. I was amazed at the time, but also thought "programming" was too complex. Then I got a Basic book and it started to make more sense. This 1984 or so... My first basic program should be finished sometime next year.

I did this with SpeedScript word processor from Compute magazine. My first word processor...
Reminds me of my 24 year computer science degree.
