Hi, this is the official twitter account for Unicode Character Recognition.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

@CodepointsNet Fixed it!

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

@qtrng Yes, server is unresponsive, I have to drive to the server location :(

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

http://t.co/Co03pK8kWw had some server problems these last days and a long downtime, I'm sorry for that! Recognition should work again now.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

Up and running - server is working now.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

My recognition server has a problem - Shapecatcher is currently down, I'm sorry.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

@SmarterYoutube It gives you the closest Unicode char, which is much more than that. ASCII has just 126 codepoints,mostly for standard latin

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

@Unrealistin Bin mal neugierig, in welcher Unicode-Aufgabe wurde denn Shapecatcher vorgeschlagen? :)

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

+1000 characters (mostly symbols from the symbola font) and a better search algorithm!

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

http://t.co/KOumeDta is running again. The recent downtime was needed to inspect the server and update it.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

Finally, I have some spare time to improve Shapecatcher!

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

There is also already an Obj-C library under MIT-license to access the API: https://t.co/5qwj0PlP @_kgn thanks again for that!

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

A shapecatcher API is soon public, send me a message if you want to test it.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

http://t.co/KOuqMdu4 hit the frontpage of Reddit: http://t.co/iav824JF (and apparently Reddit crashed, and Shapecatcher didn't. Yay!)

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

You can now give feedback for the search results. Rate your favorite characters! So that recognition quality is going to get better soon :)

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

I added support for touch events. http://t.co/KOuqMdu4 should work on phones and tablets now! ☺

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

You can now download all unicode fonts used on http://t.co/fDmYYBiR in a convenient package: http://t.co/MJxLUDQb

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

The infamous "Look of disapproval" (http://t.co/sQgUdVTd) is now also supported ಠ_ಠ

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

870 new Unicode characters are now supported: this means Katakana and Hiragana, Kannada, Telugu and more complete symbol support.

[Shapecatcher @Shapecatcher]

Snowman challenge: http://t.co/9FhV2XGt, can you make http://t.co/fDmYYBiR find the Unicode snowman?
