back in the 1980s. Now that the secret's out of the bag, everyone can
have utilize extremely high-compression if you can suffer the slight
loss of fidelity to the original (for example, the analysis will find
a single ideal letter form for an 'A', and uses that ideal letterform
image when reconstructing the document, instead of recording every
pixel at every location.
Sounds like OCR software to me. There any major differences?
