from high quality scans you can get 99% recognition rate
it depends on the original quality, font size and applied OCR software

MOOT POINT
from:

Moot point is one of those phrases that once had a firm and
well-understood meaning, but no longer does. It
was just as you
say: a matter that was uncertain or undecided,
so open to debate.
It comes from the same source as meet and
originally had the
same meaning. In England in medieval times it
referred specifically
to an assembly of people, in particular one that
had some sort of
judicial function, and was often spelled mot or
mote. So you find
references to the witenagemot (the assembly of
the witan, the
national council of Anglo-Saxon times),
hundred-mote (where a
hundred was an Anglo-Saxon administrative area,
part of a county
or shire), and many others. So something that
was mooted was put
up for discussion and decision at a meeting—by
definition
something not yet decided.
The confusion over the meaning of moot point is
modern. It is a
misunderstanding of another sense of moot for a
discussion forum
in which hypothetical cases are argued by law
students for
practice. Since there is no practical outcome of
these sessions,
and the cases are invented anyway, people seem
to have
assumed that a moot point means one of no
importance. So we’ve
seen a curious shift in which the sense of “open
to debate” has
become “not worth debating”.
The mute spelling is a development that has come
about because
moot is now a fossil word, usually encountered
only in this phrase;
there is an understandable tendency to convert
the unknown into
the known, and mute seems to fit the new meaning
rather better.
But it’s wrong.

completely wrong
the idea of making edited text copy-proof is great
and there is a number of already known solutions
but one provided by Adviser N1, called text viewer, showed having
provided no protection against making copy in a process incorporating
the use of OCR software.
