However, today's puzzle only compounds the ignorance. The instructions say "Type the two words", but onces & indrect are not words (okay, onces might be a word, as in multiple occurences of once, but that's going to be a rare case). I suspect they are typos for ounces and indirect, which is something OCR is going to have to learn to deal with.
Update February 2017 replaced missing picture.

Actually it is better to have non-words. Why?
Well, any OCR SW used by a hacker to read the letter-sequences would then most likely do a dictionary lookup to confirm its guess. With a non-word, the dictionary lookup confirmation would fail and the OCR would try a different guess or give up.
PS: Recently one of the test 'words' I encountered was 'nukulah' : O tempora, o mores :-(
PPS: Why do americans spell 'whore' as 'ho/hoe'?
"Ho" is what the rappers use.
Hmm, why do you use a double P in that word? ;-)
