Okay so for the record I hope this gives us joy but want to make sure we don't get caught up in OCR buzzacronyms.
Ocr is just scanbing a document and there is some algorithm that finds text boxes on a pdf and tags them so the text is re encoded and is searchable. It's available on almost any scanner or printer that anyone can buy. My only point is the dedicate that OCR isn't some super secret tech term. It's just meaning that all ballots can be searchable by keyword searches, which would come in handy for the auditors.
No doubt for sure! It's still great news to document. I just wanted to be explicit for those who may see this and think it's some James bond technique. It's important to state this is good news bit also say it for what it is. Its a standard technique that is very useful for mass data gathering.
I don't think so. OCR, optical character recognition, is about turning a pixel region into text. My guess is that the ballot reader was reading the filled in bubbles, which I'm pretty sure would not use OCR. If the ballot is misaligned then where the scanner is looking for bubbles will most likely be off and thus the bubbles won't be read properly. Really nothing to do with OCR.
I would say yes, your understanding is wrong. My guess is that they are not using OCR for finding the alignment marks or the bubbles. The alignment marks, I assume, are used to figure out the correct region and location for the bubbles. OCR on the other hand is used to turn pixel images (images which contain text) into text. For instance, a scanned text based document.
So if you scanned a ballot and sent the scanned image to an OCR engine it would return the text that it found on the ballot image. All non-text would just be skipped over. Even some of the text might not be recognized depending on the quality of the image, for instance multiple times being faxed, and how much it might be skewed.
You'll notice on the text based captcha's they degrade the characters in hopes to make it such that a human can figure it out but an OCR engine could not.
My guess is that the text on the ballot is just to aid the person filling out the ballot. The ballot reader will most likely just be trying to find the two columns of bubbles and determining which ones are filled in. Let's say the left column is democrat and the right column is republican. The first row is presidential, second row first senate race, etc.
I think that the person that wrote this OP text, whoever they may be, are talking about the work that Jovan Pulitzer is doing at the AZ audit. He has the tech to forensically examine these hard copy ballots.
Now that I read this over again, and I had watched the video, I'm thinking that maybe the OCR is being used to determine which county/town the ballot is for. They of course could do this by hand but why not try to automate it. Plus they've already scanned all the ballots so they have the images, no need to go through all the ballots by hand again.
The guy in the video talked about there being 500+ different ballots in some cases for a state due to needing a different one for each county or town as you have different county/town races. So I guess the thinking goes, if someone took a single ballot and duplicated it say 10,000 times and submitted them, it would be more easily detectable as that town/county's percentage of eligible voters voting would be possibly much higher than 100%.
In this case you could use OCR to read either the names of the people in the races, if that's how they determine which of the 500+ ballots it is, or I'm guessing each of those 500+ ballots has a unique number which the OCR should be able to read.
In reality OCR it not about scanning a PDF. I mean you could scan a PDF, but OCR typically is about feeding an OCR engine with an image (pixel image) and having it return the text that it was able to decipher from the image.
Exactly. There was an interview posted yesterday from a man who said there were 637 different ballots printed in one AZ county alone with the demographics you just mentioned. The man is a retired CEO of a printing company in AZ; he is a 6th generation AZ. He saw what was/could be happening in July 2020 and came out of retirement to help with the election.
Hopefully this is true, but Daaaayyyyyyyuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm!
Whoever made this needs a few more grammar lessons.
It's hard to take seriously when it is so amateurishly and ungrammatically made.
Dude unrelated but damn you are always fucking on point. I see your comments everywhere. You never fall for any bs and you know your shit better than I could ever hope to. Once again completely unrelated but keep up the good work man.
Not everyone is caught up in grammar/spelling lessons and are able to decipher posts. Are you so busy being the grammar police and taking the time to point out their errors that you miss the message? Aren’t there enough self-appointed police — face mask, vaccine, social distancing, etc, do we need grammar police too? But maybe you’re an editor and this is one of your pet peeves, I know that I sure have some too.
No, actually my pet peeve is people making and sharing memes and stories that are either false, or that make the reader assume the author has an IQ in the Biden range.
We are under enough attacks from the left and MSM without willingly handing them ammo that makes us appear as mentally deficient.
This is a war, let's not send platoons of Gomer Pyle's to do our fighting!
No way out for the cheaters as more tools are identified that captures data!! As Mike Lindell said on Sunday, he has ALL the data that was captured at the time a vote was placed and who (country/person…) changed what. He said they don’t even need to do the audits because they have it all. The audits are to show the people so more can wake up. The DS pawns have got to be freaking out! I like this movie— ? ?
Awesome. Thanks. In fact, I just viewed in a few minutes ago the very link you posted here (was linked on a Poal post)and and I noticed what Bob Hughes was saying sounded like your post. Will share among my circle.
Am I wrong in that you seems to be saying that these cameras were in place, above each stations, during the original ballot tabulation process? If my perception is incorrect, I apologize.
The way I read it, which seem to be consistent with most comments below, is that these cameras are only being used in the Audit process.
It’s unlikely. The Photos being take with the DSLR camera was most likely for this. The cameras at each station were most likely there to ensure no funny business was going on. Auditing the auditors and keeping them in line as well.
Cameras like that, regardless of the megapixels, use a H.264, H.265, or MPEG compression. Which means it stitches photos together to make a video and reuses previous photo data in the new “photos” to save on data and bandwidth. Why that is a factor? Well because it will be extremely difficult to catch and record small words and data on the fly using such a compression. Therefore, I’d say it’s unlikely that the cameras were used as a ballot forensic tool. Rather most likely for quality control
I’m sorry, but nowhere in that video did he refer to the little cameras at the top at each station being these forensic cameras. It’s this kinda misinformation/rumors/hearsay that we ought to avoid. I’m sure they had other cameras performing those forensic activities at each station though, just not those in the middle

The examination of the scans could be good, but I'm waiting for the canvas

I’ll second that. ???
I wholeheartedly agree! He's been on top of everything!
Thanks.
The author needs to brush up their skills, lol

"Karen will be releasing it on Monday" -- Yikes, sounds like he got duped by that false news story as well
so fucking give us the information then!
No way out for the cheaters as more tools are identified that captures data!!

thats cool tech but voting should be proof of citizenship photo id only all that tech can be fuked with
And another few Dems/Deep-State-people realize - WE ARE FUCKED! GET THE FF READY.
Good thing we know how morons think.
sweet!!! this was a massive trap to catch the cheaters... it caught them all... they have it all!!! sleep well, Patriots!!
Link?
This show gets better and better.
Jeez, who said that? And why transcribe it word-for-word?
OCR....!

Those cameras are most likely Axis cameras. Same ones you see on highways and intersections

They’re likely using other cameras for that. But the cameras your referring to (the ones up top at each station) is likely just for observing workers
I’m sorry, but nowhere in that video did he refer to the little cameras at the top at each station being these forensic cameras. It’s this kinda misinformation/rumors/hearsay that we ought to avoid. I’m sure they had other cameras performing those forensic activities at each station though, just not those in the middle
OP spreads misinformation for a living. The level of ignorance and racism spewed from that account is why the Patriot movement has a bad name.
Probably Axis… I’d be shocked if they used Dahua or Hikvision ??
