Has anyone made a desktop app with a really simple UI for detecting text in images? I'm thinking something that lives in the taskbar, lets you make a box around the text you want to read, and then returns it as plaintext?
In my job as a support engineer I sometimes get screenshots of complex technical configurations and end up having to type them in one character at a time, so this would be really handy.
Looks like maybe I could just create a wrapper around EasyOCR.
- jackson1way 6y agoI have the same problem every day. 20 years ago I used to have some tiny shareware tool for this but I lost it. Hope someone is able to recommend one!
- nelcevest 6y agoI was looking exactly for the same thing, and found this wonderful script: http://askubuntu.com/a/280713/81372 http://askubuntu.com/a/280713/81372 I put it in a custom keyboard shortcut, so I just press it, draw an onscreen rectangle around any non-selectable text, and in a few seconds it goes to the clipboard.
