RE: Paper: A Smart Media Token

in #idea7 years ago

This is a cool device and a cool idea. Pushing the envelope for use cases for SMTs is important. This is what will ultimately happen anyway. A tokenized world.

With the rise of 5g, blockchain, and important developements in AI all around the same time tokens will become ubiquitous. Right now is the time to be pushing these ideas.

One question did stick out to me though. I'll have to look into this device and see what the OCR is capable of on it. I can imagine writing on it all day with the pen and then if the OCR is good, it could be transferred to a standard ascii txt document (or markdown, I write hand written markdown in notebooks all the time) on the pc. Then I push it to a github repo for safe keeping.

OCR has made alot of improvements over the last few years but it is sometimes still sketchy.

Thanks for the post

Keep Steeming!

OCR is just a matter of time, faster than speech recognition. All it needs is to just understand language and context to self-correct. Even if that doesn't mature well enough, I think the small mistakes are okay for manual edits :)
