I worked for a company that processed mail-in cards for free magazines. The people who copied those cards into our system were in the Caribbean and were instructed to type in just what they saw - their only concern was reading bad handwriting. Our computers had to figure out whether the cards were joke cards. For instance we had a dirty word file which was used. I imagine Spam filters have advanced the state of the art.
