Expand Up @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ OCR in Javascript via Emscripten by [Kevin Kwok](http://antimatter15.com)

As with any minor stepping stone on the <strikeout>road to hell</strikeout> relentless trajectory of <link>Atwood's Law, I probably don't need to justify the existence of yet another "x, but now in Javascript!", but I might as well try. After all, we all would like to think that there's some ulterior motive to fulfilling that prophecy.

On tablet or other touchscreen devices- of which there are quite a number of nowadays (as the New Year's Eve post, I am obliged to include conjecture about the technological zeitgeist), a library such as Ocrad.js might be used to add handwriting input in a device and operating system agnostic manner. Oftentimes, capturing the strokes and sending them over to a server to process might entail unacceptably high latency. Maybe you're working on an offline-capable note-taking app, or a browser extension which indexes all the doge memes that you stumble upon while prawling the dark corners of the internet.

If you've been following my trail of blog posts recently, you'd probably be able to tell that I've been scrambling to finish the program that I prototyped many months ago overnight at a Hackathon. The idea of the extension was kind of simple and also kind of magical: a browser extension that allowed users to highlight, copy, and paste text from any image as if it were plain text. Of course the implementation is a bit difficult and actually relies on the advent of a number of newfangled technologies.
