Hi Jow Forums, what methods are out there, to encode data to paper?
QR and bar codes are obvious, but what if I want to encode, let's say 300-400 bytes?
I'd have to split it up into smaller chunks and QR-encode them one after another.
Is there anything better for this purpose?
Or maybe a standardized protocol to serialize data from and to QR codes?

Good old OCR can work for density if you have a known encoding

Base64 + OCR
I'm not very confident, that OCR can be re-digitized error-free. Even using OCR-specific fonts.
Every check anyone has ever deposited into a bank begs to differ.
Looks good, thanks.
>what is text
400 bytes encode into 400 letters(±). A page can easily hold >6000 letters
I'd have to do the math to tell you which is more space efficient but I guarantee a page covered in small print base256+ would be extremely effective
I'm an OCR-phobe.
paperbak will do.
What are you trying to do exactly?
Where I live if you want to submit a form, you use PDF form with blank spaces that generate a QR code when data is inputed to the spaces, that can be scanned back.
printing it usually works unless you run out of toner
IIRC Microsoft made a variation of a QR style code that can store a lot more data.
It has triangular shapes.
'small print' means pt8. Nothing a scanner from the 80s couldn't handle
I use English. Works pretty good. Why would you use unreadable QR codes when you can write www.apple.com
OCR is still very unreliable.

unless you plan to store your thousands of thousands of pages of encoded hentai underwater I don't really see a problem with scanning pt8 print without formating or any kind of special sauce.
Nowadays you could probably read them by pointing your phone in their general direction from 15 meters away. Image recognitiin has come a long way

OP is on to something
I find OCR quite reliable. You’re just using it wrong.
You sound like a frightened broken record
>What are you trying to do exactly?
Paper backup of important binary data.

Haha, very funny.

I'll try that.
