  Don’t think that’s true. You can run the whole form through, come out with an identical pdf with searchable/copyable text. Even a completely novel form uses the same alphabet. Add some regex to pull out the fields you need to enter, and on failure give it to a human. All of that can be done with python on a raspberry pi. A decade ago.

    You’d be wrong.

    The fields aren’t all the same kinds of values, which requires relationship between the data to be evaluated for entry.

    You’re assuming this is transposing contents, which was not the issue. Your example is what was initially planned and halted before transitioning to the approach I helped deploy.

      That’s wrong, you didn’t know that there’s another if/else statement required by them. That’s what the supercomputer is for.

      That’s how you sound.

        So I’ll go back to my previous comment; you’re not actually interested in understanding the use, you have a pre-determined (and uninformed) view of use and operation, and providing that information as an example is “long-winded”.

        Ill be done with this discussion now. Enjoy your day.
