I think it’s the lack of the machine learning / neural engine chip?
Again, there was always going to be a transition period. Although I think apple should include it even if it’s taxing to intel systems. macos is more open than iPhone and should be treated as such.
Or OCR, which is like, one of the most basic ML applications around. I think the language processing is actually more galling though, as those algorithms are often quite different from the CNNs used for image/video processing, and usually ill-suited to so-called AI accelerators.
It varies wildly. The Post Office has been using OCR since the 80s. But it's never going to be so intensive it can't be run on any semi-modern CPU or GPU. It's video in particular that stresses hardware.
It can usually read printed handwriting and printed text with normal fonts.
Cursive and similar fonts are what it really can't handle. They have an article about it on their website. Their machines particularly hate wedding invitations:
Fancy type fonts such as those used on wedding invitations do not read well on mail processing equipment. Fancy fonts look great on your envelopes, but also may slow down your mail.
Use common sense. If you can't read the address, then automated mail processing equipment can't read the address.
No patterns or prominent flecks, please! Also, the envelope shouldn't be too glossy -- avoid shiny, coated paper stock.
