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

Again, the corrupt and unfound Form of Speaking in the Plural Number to a single Person, YOU to One, instead of THOU, contrary to the pure, plain, and single Language of TRUTH, THOU to One, and YOU to more than One, which had always been used by GOD to Men, and Men to GOD, as well as one to another, from the oldest Record of Time, till corrupt Men, for corrupt Ends, in later and corrupt Times, to flatter, fawn, and work upon the corrupt Nature in Men, brought in that false and senseless Way of speaking YOU to One; which hath since corrupted the modern Languages, and hath greatly debased the Spirits, and depraved the Manners of Men.

@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)
