Is it just me... or are more & more websites using text copy protection. Kinda irritating.
Hopefully not like one of my previous managers just uploaded on our corporate (well, Local Authority) website. It was indeed, the dreaded jpg image of a shortish text document blagged off another organisation's website. "what do you mean, its not text, I can read it, can't you?" Yes, I can, but anyone using a text reader can't, and as the article was about inclusivity, its rather backfired. Cue a long conversation about PDF documents that were basically the same, and what OCR software can or cannot do for you. Thankfully, our graphics dept had top notch OCR software, and sent it to me as text, so I passed it on to said manager, who re-uploaded it.
Said nice graphics team also scanned and OCR'd for me, a 140 page document that was a 1995-ish re-type (could they not have found some sort of computer?) of a damaged and worn typed manuscript for a book, typed in 1948. Hardly any errors, mostly over some weird punctuation in the original.
