The demo of course works perfectly on a Mac as this is already built into Ventura.

  In November 2020, Brewster Kahle from the Internet Archive praised Tesseract saying:

• InfluxDB

  docTR (Document Text Recognition) - a seamless, high-performing & accessible library for OCR-related tasks powered by Deep Learning.

  

There's also DocTR which can do text detection and extraction out of the box.

It's command line driven but can display the detected text as an overlay of the document.

  Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

  

Cool! I've seen similar ideas before and made my own inspired by these some years ago. It's a simple bash script based on [flameshot](https://flameshot.org/) for taking the screenshot and Tesseract:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
