No more than it is to reading licence plates, but people have tried anyway - whether or not they're successful, I can't say (the list isn't exactly inundated with success stories - people generally only write when there's a problem). Give it a try, and see if it works out. If the recognition works out ok, maybe someone will be motivated to write an app. Or you could always get in touch with Apple's marketing people -- "reading my power meter -- there *isn't* an app for that". -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
