I consume all text as images when I read as a vision capable person so it kinda passes the evolution does it that way test and maybe we shouldn’t be that surprised that vision is a great input method?
Actually thinking more about that I consume “text” as images and also as sounds… I kinda wonder if instead of render and ocr like this suggests we did tts and just encoded like the mp3 sample of the vocalization of the word if that would be less bytes than the rendered pixels version… probably depends on the resolution / sample rate.
