My personal reason for using "the cloud" in this specific case is that the OCR results are significantly better.

> The cloud == someone else's computer.

I think everyone around here knows this and can make their own decisions, if and for what data they use "the cloud".

Be careful speaking about "everyone". You never know who the 10000 are.

Sure but it's fairly assured that 80% at least are from the USA, possibly higher. Also it's fairly easy to extrapolate the premise of "the 10000" to include the rest of the world
