It's not in clear text, you have to use a decent OCR
Or you can just read it directly. Just need some light.
It's actually better than plain text stored on a Hard Drive/ CD/ Floppy et c., which requires corresponding reading devices, format parsing systems, a display to show it and an appropriate power source, after which you can consider using a human to use the data (or remove the monitor and convert data into other data, in which case, you need another output device/network).
Needing a human in the loop kills automation.
I'd rather not automate convicting random people.
