We're still in the early stages of R&D, but if you're interested you can <a href="https://github.com/FreeUKGen" rel="nofollow">follow our efforts on GitHub</a>.Ben W.

Many of our users are quite sophisticated at adjusting contrast and such to discover words blurred by water damage using offline tools, but I think this will be quite helpful.Ben W.

So it's always worth a try.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651973319804848661noreply@blogger.com
