Register or Login to view.It would be nice if the AIs could do some kind of real-time OCR so that typed(or even handwritten) documents that haven't read digitised could be read and analysed.
It can do it fairly well now.. Gemini is the best model, but really one page at a time.
One page at a time is really a problem.
I didn't explain clearly. I mean as part of its search or maybe Google could automatically OCR all documents found. I don't know how far we are now from that being computationally feasible.
There are quite a lot of typed and scanned, but not digitised inventories which are a lot of effort to read manually and for which being able to search inside would be really helpful. (Obviously, being able to read handwritten documents as well would be amazing).
