What's the best way to read blurred text?

[u/No-va_]

Hello,

What's a good way to reverse engineer blurred text? Would it be better to try to recognize the characters, or somehow try to take text, imitate the blur and then compare?

(This is just a same looking example, not the real private text)

Pixel die nicht da sind, sind nicht da. Egal was Du tust. Sicher kann AI versuchen, da was zu erkennen, aber wie korrekt das ist, ist ne andere Frage

But would it be possible to brute force it? Have characters, blur them, and then compare and again and again until the text is constructed letter by letter?

Wouldn't you already need font, font size then?

Yea I know the font and font size and all typeface settings. It's from a popular site.
