I've also noticed the problem with recognizing "r.", which would seem to be due to the period being placed underneath the tip of the r... causing both to be incorrectly read.

Also "-" isnt being read.

BTW if anyone else is looking to port this to java, BufferedImage.getRaster().getDataBuffer() is what you are looking for to replace the canvas method. =)

I couldn't understand some parts of this article, but it sounds interesting...

It will be interesting to see if you can get it to actually create an image from a miniaturised text logo then parse the result into a link, using examples generated here: tinyurl.com/247tyb
If not, expect facebook to switch to this method of obfuscation.

Thanks for providing it. In my first test it failed with and @pfizer.com address. It returned @pfizecom (no r, no period).

Great for all other cases I've tested though.

I guess somewhere on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Safely_accessing_content_DOM_from_chrome might be the right hint on how to get the image data.
