Visual spectrum? What are you talking about?

Text doesn't appear on your screen unless it was coded and rendered  
to do so. Windows don't move when you click and drag unless it was  
coded and made into an object that was clickable. Nothing on the  
computer screen appears unless it was *coded* to do so, and in doing  
so, the underlying OS knows what kind of thing it is in order to  
render it.

Who needs OCR? How do you think you are reading this message on your  
computer screen right now unless there was code to render out the  
specific letters in this specific order? How do you think you can  
grab and drag a window out of the way unless there was underlying  
code to do exactly that? The underlying objects are there.

It has nothing to do with OCR.
