    ha, I always send my CV as a PDF, so I'm assuming it doesn't work with that? :D

    Worth trying, anyway. I'd say they'd find out if they looked at the CV while using the accessibility options (high contrast, etc).

    Why would a PDF make a difference?
    What format do you think she is refering to

    Ctrl+F too

    But you're giving them way too much credit for detailed checking

    I'm assuming the scanner doesn't use OCR to extract text from a PDF and simply loads up CVs sent in Word format and parses the xml (which would then allow text in white to be read)

    You don't need OCR to read PDF text. If you export a file to PDF, the text is store as text. That why to can highlight, edit, copy text, etc.

    OCR is only needed to read text in images such as scanned documents.

    Interesting always thought it was an image export and software to read the text just had inbuilt OCR :)

    I've sure you could export as raster image. But the default is text, as it uses less data and is more functional.
    Same reason why you can google search and return PDF content results

    Don't really have a pic to hand, but here's a small lifehack if anyone is finding wearing their mask is cutting into the top of their ears after wearing it for too long.

    Grab a spare black shoelace.
    Tie each end around either strap according to the length you require.
    Put it over your head and either rest the back of the lace over your crown, or lower down just under your ear.

    Voila. Facemask is secure, but not pulling on your ears :)

    Been suing a safety pin for that, old trick from med device manufacturing.

    Wouldn't that hurt your ears? Unless they're pierced already, of course. :D

    No - the page is upside to start if it was in front of the camera - the "mirror" reverses it

    ah of course. I was think from the fact we are viewing the page right way up.
    But it's already upside down from the webcam's POV.

    Plus in most cases you can reverse the image, e.g. left to right, like in a mirror. It's not like it's a concave surface like a spoon would be.

    Actually, I was right the first time. It doesn't work.

    Webcam is viewing page in a "mirror". So text will be a mirror image. Not impossible to solve backwards maths but certainly harder, like reading anything in a mirror.

    It's displayed correctly on her own screen because your own webcams/forward camera on phone automatically mirrors your image - which a lot of people don't actually realize.

    It says on the link that she changed the orientation of the image herself. I guess it'll depend on the settings of your computer.

    Changing settings will only affect setting your own computer. It won't affect what other people see.
    People watch a video see a true image which will be mirrored due to the CD.

    Not if you change your camera settings, I don't think.

    put a mirror in front of the laptop cam, and flip the image left-to-right in software. They use Zoom, which has a mirror mode. Done.

    They used a third party camera app to view a mirrored image and screen share it via zoom.
    That works was viewers see your screen as you do.

    Confirms that just throwing a camera up doesn’t work even though it appears on screen correctly.
