2021 is probably my most productive year in term of words written. But not on my blog nor on this gemlog. The reason is quite simple :āÆI fell in love with typewriters. Iām now writing mostly on paper, choosing the best paper IāÆcan find, anotating, reading and re-reading what IāÆdid.
I love typewriters and highly recommend any smolnet user to read "The Typewriter Revolution" by Richard Polt which encapsulates perfectly all the good (and bad) reasons to use a typewriter in this morden era.
Yes, I miss my BĆ©po keyboard. Iām back on Azerty (on my typewriters, not on my computer or my Freewrite). Thereās lot to say. Too much for this small gemlog.
But Iām dreaming of building a scanner that would do some OCR and automatically publish what I feed to a gemlog. This would be without any screen interaction at all (which would means quite a few typos).
Iāve investigated a bit but I donāt know where to start. My OCR tests are quite bad with my typewriters (mixing a and e for example).
Donāt hesitate to contact lionel at ploum.net if you have any lead.
