according to this:
The application needs the word(s) to be in selectable text format, not in pictures, as WordWeb lacks any OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities like Babylon.
i tried it, and couldn't get it to recognize anything that wasn't 'selectable' text. it doesn't pick up text that i've drawn with TextOut. Update: now that i've played around a bit, i can get it to recognize non selectable stuff, too. looks like that description is out of date. there's definitely some OCR going on there. sadly, it doesn't work on the CAPTCHAs i've tried :) -- modified at 14:34 Friday 13th April, 2007

That's weird that they claim that it lacks any OCR! Because I just tried hand-scribbling some text in Paint, and it came very close to guessing the word (eg I scribbled phone and it got hone). I tried using actual text in Paint, then skewing it a few degrees, and it was still able to read it. So it certainly seems to be doing quite good OCR. Maybe that quoted article is out of date.

The free version has a limitation that it cannot be used by those that take more then four flights per year and do not own an SUV. Hard to imagine people are so wrapped up in the global warming garbage.. They can keep their software! X|

Yep I laugh about it. But, I don't qualify for the free license. I take on average about one flight a month...hehe. I defy them to travel to California from Texas that many times a year by some other means of transportation.

You have to remember these crack smoking monkeys are from the UK not the US, and the whole UK is only about the same size as California. And while anyone with the brains found in a slab of rancid tofu would realize that driving between NYC and LA is utterly insane, driving between San Diego and San Francisco while stupid is within the limits of 'doing it for the cause', certainly other types of religious fanatic regularly do more unpleasant things to themselves.

I totally got that, it still cracks me up because it's unenforceable.

broadly speaking so are other tofu licenses like the GPL. Assuming you're smart enough to strip the copyright headers from the source files, there's almost no chance of your being caught if you stole nonUI code for your commercial, closed source application.

If we find a neow planet to live on, you "don't bother me, I don't care" people can keep that one too. Until then, we'll cover you in garbage, not really sorry for that.
