This is cool! Wondering what you're using for OCR?

  For developers: Copyfish is published under the GPL open-source license. As OCR software, it uses the free OCR API from https://ocr.space/

    So, to answer the question mentioned above, the document storing the text is sent to an off-site server (https://ocr.space/ https://ocr.space/) which does the OCR and returns the results.

      And what lib is using ocr.space for OCR?
      • tangue 9y ago
        I suspect they're using Tesseract as they've written a gui for it ( https://ocr.space/blog/p/free-ocr-windows.html https://ocr.space/blog/p/free-ocr-windows.html ) but there's no way to find more.

          https://github.com/A9T9/Free-OCR-Software https://github.com/A9T9/Free-OCR-Software Based on this github they might be using the microsoft ocr library.

          I guess it auto defaults to English then? Running Tesseract on Scandinavian texts gives AAO instead of ÅÄÖ in my experience if you don't supply the correct language training set. That's quite the hen and the egg problem. Can't language identify without the text can't get the text without the right language identified.
