It works, but it&rsquo;s treating a symptom. A smarter OCR step would make most of it unnecessary.</p> <p>Traditional OCR extracts characters, then downstream code figures out what they mean. A separate pipeline handles structure, validation, error correction. The address sanitizer is part of that pipeline. It exists because the OCR engine doesn&rsquo;t understand what it&rsquo;s reading.</p>
