Just a heads up, im in the US, and when I click the link to buy, the price is $24.99 I'd personally love it if this also indexed text files and pdfs.

- mjyoon 2y agoYeah, I'd love an app on Windows that can index text files, images, and pdfs recursively through a directory.
- correa_brian 2y agoI'm working on a Windows version! I'll let you know when it's ready.
- stevenicr 2y agoSame - I kicked the tired with "Image Scan OCR" from the windows app store I think.. it can do a whole folder (batch process) of pics and extract the text into the sidebar, which is nice.. but it would be nice if the text was exported into a searchable thing and the text was linked to the pic/filename it came from.. Of course I want to search for data in my photo downloads / screenshots folders and be able to pull / easily grab / copy the pic(s) to another folder or upload to a site and then paste the text.. I guess chaining this into notion / obsidian or similar would be beneficial as well.
- stork19 2y agoThe search bar in Finder does a decent job searching for text (recursively) in files and PDFs.
- pps 2y agoThis app focuses on semantic search rather than full-text search, if I understand correctly.
- correa_brian 2y agoCorrect. No text search, but it's something I'd consider adding if enough people asked for it.
- correa_brian 2y agoI'm thinking of adding support for text files. Only thing holding me back is that it would make the app much larger. I'm also considering making the models more a la carte so you can manage which ones your want to use depending on your use case. That way you could use for text, image/video, or both.
- saagarjha 2y agoHow so? Indexing text seems fairly straightforward?
- Eisenstein 2y agoAdding more capability means adding another set of model weights.
- saagarjha 2y agoRight but indexing text is, like, you already have the text…
- correa_brian 2y agoFor the best performance you'd probably want to use something other than CLIP's text encoder, but yeah you already have the text and could index it. If enough people asked for it, I would consider adding a different embeddings models.
