On: Show HN: Neural network optical character recognition

It won't help that much, as every character/letter/digit will be of the same font face, e.g. Arial. Then it can only recognize scans with Arial font.

One needs a real world training set, a lot of variation, like house numbers and scanned books with labeled datasets.

I'm planning on adding a JSON config file to be able to tweak the network and add a lot more variation to the generated training set. Meanwhile, if you want to train it with several different fonts you can just add them to the 'fonts' array in captcha.js.
