Jasper Tiller
Founder, Swoosh
Jasper Tiller is the author and founder of Swoosh. It began with the need to turn images into text and editing PDFs in an efficient and economical way. With a growing frustration that leading brands still run on legacy OCR that quietly gives up on handwriting, faded receipts and battered scans, the answer was a smaller, more focused alternative. The conviction behind it is plain. Accurate reading should also be readily available, without searching through multiple websites that are ambiguous in their functionality.
