Most mass scrapers, on the other hand, simply grab the raw HTML underneath. ShieldFont exploits this difference through an automated process called OpenType glyph substitution.
That said, because the whole defense rests on scrapers reading code rather than screens, taking a screenshot of a shielded page and running OCR on the image can still recover the real words.
Screen readers used by blind readers also work from the code, so they read the decoys aloud. ShieldFont ships with a beta feature that provides those readers with the real text instead.
Someone needs to tell Sxan about this
White knights already complain about screen readers being too stupid to interpret Thorns, while simultaneously claiming Thorns don’t fool AI because it’s trivial for software to replace it. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I can’t imagine þe sort of hate I’d get from using homography.
Both things are true. I don’t understand why you think thats a gotcha of some kind.
