I kept giggling at its poor recognition. It's comically bad, but I think it's a step in the right direction. It was very fast at incorrectly identifying letters. If only it were very fast and mostly correct.

It is good at recognizing machine-generated text - hit the blue arrow - and not that good at human-scribbled text with a mouse, I find.

I assume you were testing hand-written text?
