Does anyone have any experience with determining what text says in low resolution images?

A few years ago I knew about software that could do it. Basically it took the sample image and isolated each character. Then it referenced each character to other ones in the image searching for probably matches.

I could imagine it is possible to train a neural network to do this, but short of that I did find some of these.

This election campaign is really bringing up how pro-choice the UK is on abortion. Its never really been a debate between politicians, and pro-life is often seen as wrong and offensive.

The lib dem leader Tim Farron appears to be pro life but says he thinks abortion should be available to women in law - because he knows its an extremely unpopular opinion. However, he has refused to deny that he thinks abortion is wrong and that is causing quite a big outrage.

Baby killers.  /s

My position on it has changed slightly. 
Im pro-life, but legally pro-choice. 

I don't like abortion, but I think it's better than not having abortion.

Yeah I think that's a good stance. Even if you're pro-life, why force everyone else to be the same? Pro-choice legally seems like a no brainer to me.

Reports that it might be a suicide bomber.

I can't believe this, who the fudge would attack a concert full of children and teenagers?

The first confirmed victim out of the 22 is Georgina Callander, I didn't know her personally but she was only a year below me in my sixth form college, I probably saw her around sometime. The second victim is Saffie Rose, an eight year old girl who went to a school in the same town as my college. This is heartbreaking.

Not to make light of a tragedy, but I wish the bomber would have taken out Ariana Grande and no one else.
