So, I am noticing that with Meta glasses, you really have to position the text in the right orientation if you want it to be recognized and read. In other orientations Meta will tell you there is a text which cannot be clearly seen. It will not, however, warn you that the paper is not in the right orientation. #meta #AI #glasses #accessibility #nearlyfail

Very surprising. Is OCR usually dependent on orientation?

It's not unusual for sighted people to be able to read upside down text.

Yes, among people I know it's probably 1/4 to 1/3. It's such a useful skill that even sighted people who aren't hyperliterate/academically gifted pick it up during adulthood.
