Hey, did you know that Google Lens doesn't recognize the 'long S'?

@RealGene
Thank you.

No, I didn't, but am not surprised.

@RealGene @jetton

Google lens isn't sufficiently integrated (a little maths joke there - I'm here all week!)

@RealGene @jetton — Truly, the medial s, like the em ſpace, is treated unjuſtly by the whole typographic eſtabliſhment.

@RealGene @jetton neither does my brain apparently. Keep reading it as an f.

@RealGene @jetton Coincidence? I don't think so ...

@RealGene @jetton Lens would need a special OCR setting to recognize long-S

tesseract-ocr using the 'enm' (Middle English?) language picks up most of them, but correctly outputs Unicode with long-S: f'rinstance "ſenſeleſs".

(I am more amused than I should be that it renders "ſingle" as "jingle", though)

Again, the corrupt and unfound Form of fpeaking in the Plural Number to a fingle perfon.

fenseless means you have to watch to make sure your dog doesn't wander away.
