Online Search Policy Agreement

The search functionality provided by No Moss 3 Carbo Landfill Online Library, operated by David Allen Ball (“David A. Ball”), is intended to enhance user experience by enabling the retrieval of information contained within documents stored on the website. This Search Policy (“Policy”) outlines some of the understood functions of the search feature as well as some limitations of the service. This Policy may not cover all of the limitations of the search feature.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Sourced mostly from the public domain, this service utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to extract text from images embedded in PDF files. This website relies heavily upon Apache Tika, PDFKit, and Tesseract in order to perform this function.

While some initial effort is made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the OCR process, it is important to note that OCR results may not always be error-free. Inaccuracies may occur due to various factors, including but not limited to, the quality of the original document, variations in font styles, image resolution, image tilt, skew, image visibility, color, etc.

In some cases, I may choose to correct any anomalies discovered during the OCR process and index the changes based on these corrections. I can not guarantee the completeness of any metadata, even if partially corrected.

YouTube Auto-Generated Subtitles

Relying heavily upon YouTube’s automatic subtitles feature, this service utilizes youtube-dl in order to copy YouTube videos along with any subtitles and generated automatic subtitles.

The publisher of the subtitles or the YouTube generator of the automatic subtitles is responsible for that content.

No Guarantee or Warranty

No Moss 3 Carbo Landfill Online Library does not provide any guarantee or warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the OCR results obtained through the search functionality. Users acknowledge and accept that the accuracy of OCR-generated text may vary and should exercise discretion when relying on search results.
