Paper Website: Start a tiny website from your notebook

I'm a messy writer. Just out of curiosity how does it handle this. If I scribble out text or turn it into a rectangle does it skip the text while scanning it? Does it support text that is deliberately struck through?

Neat project by the way!

It's using a combination of OCR and GPT-3. GPT-3 is basically being used as a glorified grammar corrector, trained on bad OCR sentences and their correct equivalents. If there's spelling mistakes, crossing outs, or bad OCR going on, GPT-3 will pick it up and correct it into a coherent sentence. There's also a web-based editor that you can go into and edit everything afterwards.

Love your stuff, I have been anticipating an update from you! I was wondering, how were you able to get access to GPT-3? AFAIK it's in closed beta and hard to get access to. Thanks!

Thank you! I applied as soon as it was announced - I probably waited about 8 months before I eventually got access. Even after that, there's hoops you have to jump through before you can go live. It's incredibly cool tech to have on an API call.

Also is the gpt3 an important part of the cost? Gave you tried if e.g. gpt2 was enough for your use case?
