Show HN: Snappy, Secure, On-Device OCR for macOS
- frankbyte 7y agoI was intrigued by SwiftUI last summer and have been building this app up for a while. The first version was released about a month ago and I just released the third version this week. The TLDR version is that it is a simple OCR application for on-device OCR that can handle image files, pdf files, screenshots and iOS photos/scans. The OCR is done using Apple's Vision framework. The app is built for Mavericks only since it is using SwiftUI, PDFKit, Vision, and other latest Apple API goodies. The application is still free at the moment, but I'm planning to add some fair business model to it in the near-future so I could put in the time to maintain and improve it. I'll be super grateful to get any feedback regarding the application!
- frankbyte 7y ago^^ Catalina only! Not Mavericks. :)
- ApolloRising 7y agoI tried to install your app but it is 10.15 only. Seems like a nice idea, good luck with it.
- frankbyte 7y agoCheers. The app is built for Mavericks only since it is using SwiftUI, PDFKit, Vision, and other latest Apple API goodies. Not all of these unfortunately support earlier OS versions.
- ApolloRising 7y agoI think you mean Catalina?
- frankbyte 7y agoI do indeed, thanks for the correction.
- stephenr 7y agoThis is fantastic. Well done. I wanted to try something quickly and before I found what I expected would work: e.g. a scanned receipt or something as a PDF, I came across the "Social Distancing" pics the Australian Embassy in Bangkok put out, so I tried this one: https://twitter.com/AusAmbBKK/status/1245965711677091840/photo/3 https://twitter.com/AusAmbBKK/status/1245965711677091840/pho... It worked well, the only real "wrong" parts were the coat of arms became "gibberish", and the twitter logo became "9". But the rest came out perfectly. Nice work!
