If you come across a piece of text that has been blacked out, there are a few ways you can try to uncover it. The first is to use a pencil to lightly trace over the blacked out area. This can sometimes help to reveal the text that is beneath the black. If this does not work, you can try using a piece of clear tape to lift up the blacked out area. Again, this can sometimes help to reveal the text that is beneath. If neither of these methods work, you can try using a software program designed to uncover blacked out text. There are a few different programs available, and they typically work by analyzing the pixels in the blacked out area and trying to guess what the text is.
