So now we’re still not any smarter as to if it’s automated or if there’s an admin sitting in a dark room with nothing but water and untoasted toast doing it manually. GJ nerds.

It’s automatic.

There was a thread in the ETF2L forums about it somewhere, but it’s really easy to automate with OCR once you know the exact font you’re reading and you have a high-quality screenshot as a source.

And if you read the first post carefully, he didn’t ask whether it’s automated or not, he asked how it works ;p

So you’re saying that because one minor detail in the article’s name is irrelevant and most of the rest stands as useful information, it would be more useful to link to a much broader article that actually doesn’t answer the question at all?

Well, it would be wrong to call it OCR.

I wouldn’t have continued this conversation if you didn’t offend me with an attack on my character, I don’t really care about this at all.

It’s automatically done by a script made by Mihalch which reads the text on the screenshots. Sometimes it fails because the screenshot is too low a resolution or quality, but 99% of the time it works awesomely.
