OCaRina redux

Here’s what I want to do: Gracefully extract all 500+ comic strips from xkcd Run the images through OCR Then either a) put the images into a pdf and embed the OCR output, or b) put the OCR output in Spotlight metadata ??? Profit! ReadIris isn’t good enough. Unfortunately, it’s said to be the best OCR solution out there. Apparently DEVONthink etc incorporate their engine. I...

My Chinese reading skills leave much to be desired.. I’ve been splitting my reading time between a few Chinese books (translated from English and Japanese) this week and found that I have to mentally sound the words to get what’s written.  I got my Perf Cert exam result slip back today. I might be missing 4 points to get a distinction, but despite having lost exactly 4 points on...
