Reading Old Eglish Type font Descending S
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:50 pm
Thousands if not millions of old books have been digitalized and many of them use a different looking "S". If you've never seen an old book before check out wikipedia's article about the LONG S.
Or you could go to archive dot org and do a text (book) search by typing in a year, such as 1801.(17,968 results found for search term 1801) For one year alone around 18k books, most of which might use the archaic type font. Can Text aloud read this font? Or are there literally millions of the best most valuable and knowledgeable books on the planet, written in english by the way, totally unreadable by textaloud software, because of a single letter? This would seem quite absurd to throw away centuries of knowledge and thousands if not millions of books from something as simple as a single letter?. I do hope this will be looked into if Textaloud can't currently read these books, or if it can. FANTASTIC!!. Let me know please.
