Does title need a date?

Last commit 2017, readme states "tested on Mac OS X Lion" (circa 2011-2012).

It's good they put in the heading "Like OCR for maps" Because I had no idea what you'd use this thing for, like why apply a vector to a golang map or something XD

There was a time I had to re-draw the scanned city plans in AutoCad (possibly in R13/14), on a Pentium 3 machine as an high-school student.

Having such tool at that time would have saved myself not only from wasting months, but would also have saved from having carpal tunnels at very young age.

Simple surgery to get rid of that carpal tunnel syndrome if you want it… by this time next month you could be pain-free and back at it without having to wear braces or do whatever you do to manage symptoms (assuming CTS is what you have).
