The USPS faces challenges with illegible handwriting, leading to a unique solution. When mail distribution centers encounter addresses that are difficult to decipher, they capture images of these addresses. These images are then electronically transmitted to the USPS Remote Encoding Center in Salt Lake City. Here, specialists work to interpret the handwriting and ensure accurate mail delivery, highlighting the crucial role of technology and human expertise in overcoming logistical hurdles.
