It's better than Tesseract? That's really impressive. Could you run a farm of macOS machines and turn this into an API for profit? Would that be legal?

- gvkhna 3y agoYes, as long as you pay for the mac hardware it’s yours to do with as you please. I’m not an attorney and this is not legal advice.
- xp84 3y agoNotably, Apple seems to attach some very unfriendly restrictions to some of the built-in stuff, such as the voices. You can't use those commercially, it appeared to me when I researched it.
- lelandfe 3y agoIn my experience using it constantly, it is far beyond Tesseract’s. I have never gotten truly garbled output from Apple’s, whereas Tesseract will frequently produce random Unicode characters from text. Apple’s also handles things like overlapping text or changing font sizes and typefaces far better than any open-source OCR I’ve used.
- bufo 3y agoWay, way better than Tesseract!
- wcedmisten 3y agoYou could run a farm of iphones to OCR memes if you felt so inclined https://findthatmeme.com/blog/2023/01/08/image-stacks-and-iphone-racks-building-an-internet-scale-meme-search-engine-Qzrz7V6T.html https://findthatmeme.com/blog/2023/01/08/image-stacks-and-ip...
- oarsinsync 3y agoThat blog post is glorious. Thanks for sharing.
- laborcontract 3y agoIMO it goes head to head with the anazon/google cloud OCR services. It’s works superbly.
