Please dont post pictures of text without transcribing the text.

KillingTimeItself,

intrigued by the fact that this is hated so much. It’s a courteous ask, and something you probably should be doing. Especially if you can just copy and paste the majority of it.

I try to do it when possible.

My bad, I’m still new to this. Someone else kindly did below, no offense meant.

Please update the post with the transcript, add a link to the source page where the text appears, dont do this again, and let others know.

Let’s maintain the quality of this comm.

You think you are providing quality by making people jump through hoops for you? :)

Waraugh,

My only reference point is that I found out my blind grandpa is on here a few months back. Maybe they are trying to influence behavior that supports that level of software integration for blind visitors and have trouble communicating in a socially acceptable way.

Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. And uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmm, Ok?

jaybone,

Yeeeeeeeeeeeahhh see it’s just that we’re putting new cover sheets on the TPS reports…

That’s why places like Lemmy and Mastodon are nice, even if big corpo buys up some instances, there’s still the option to just start free ones elsewhere.

Thanks to the CNN overlords for caring about privacy. Blatant liars.

Thanks for caring about my privacy, CNN, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful in facilitating your solid privacy measures.

ceenote,

You can be more helpful, though.

Go to a different website.

Bitch you can’t ctrl-F or click to chapter in an actual book either.

@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I know, that’s my point! PDF’s are inherently superior BECAUSE you can usually CTRL-F them.

JackbyDev,

Wait until OP hears about the Index at the back of the book.

Very impressive! That’s a bummer that you need Chrome to make it happen though :/

lanolinoil,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

It will still work on PDFs loaded in Chrome to be fair though.

DontNoodles, to piracy in it sure beats having to buy it, but seriously come on...

Sites like Anna’s library should permit users to flag books without OCR and permit users to submit OCR version of the books.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.

Moonrise2473, (edited ) to piracy in it sure beats having to buy it, but seriously come on...

I much prefer doing ocr by myself if really needed, than getting an half assed “book” full of typos and broken tables just because someone did an automated OCR but didn’t have the 5-6 hours required to manually edit to make it decent

Already be thankful that someone took the time to flip page by page in their scanner manually and upload it somewhere

You can do it yourself:

Use the index

I hope this sentiment never stops someone from uploading a textbook without OCR. Once it’s scanned it can always be OCRed at a later time.
