Although the main discussion in this group is Mongolian in Traditional Mongolian, and not Todo, Manchu or Sibe, I would suggest incorporating a note on how the Todo hyphen is supposed to work.GitHub
I’m a frickin genius.
Context: my kid is mildly allergic to citric acid and citric fruit. Brings out eczema. And citric acid is in SO many things. And it’s painful checking ingredients lists for it.
This morning I wondered: can my phone OCR the ingredients list and check it?
My first thought was to make a little web app. But there doesn’t seem to be a OCR in web browsers yet.
But I KNOW my phone can get text from images.

You can filter any Mastodon account's public posts by hashtag using the following website address:
(mastodon profile's web address)/tagged/(hashtag without the #)
So, for example, to see all my public posts with the hashtag "Mastodon" the address would be:
mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/…
As many have pointed out in comments, you can also add .rss to the end of the address to create an RSS feed.

' Often, when we give a blank map of the surrounding areas to Inuit who are helping us [they] have no problem recognizing and identifying features on the map, going only from their recollections of the land and what their families have described to them in words or in songs — without otherwise having used maps. They’ll even correct you, explaining something like, “there should be a lake there, but it’s not on your map.” '

The staff of the Inuit Heritage Trust is racing across Canada’s North to document traditional Inuit place names before much of that knowledge passes on with the elders who hold it. Canadian Geographic sits down with lead researcher Lynn Peplinski.Nick Walker (Canadian Geographic)
@pluralistic pointed to a wonderful post by Jo Walton, which included the following (re how SF fans read SF):
"There are lots of forms of what I call incluing, scattering pieces of information seamlessly through the text to add up to a big picture. The reader has to remember them and connect them together. This is one of the things some people complain about as “too much hard work” and which I think is a high form of fun."

Genres are usually defined by their tropes—mysteries have murders and clues, romances have two people finding each other, etc. Science fiction doesn’t work well when you define it like that, …Tor.com

Holy cow! Put a Bluetooth mic by TV. Connected it to @Android and turned on live captions for #GoldenGlobes It’s better and faster than TV captions. Not as accurate but the TV captions delay and ALL CAPS are too much.

And yes, not 100% accurate. But could do a quick "don't eat this check" before you embark on a manual scan.
