HN to Kindle

Read Hacker News on your Kindle

I read HN on my kindle[1] to assimilate knowledge from the comments using its highlighting, clipping features. But commenting is painful on Kindle's 'forever experimental browser' so I take a screenshot and when I connect it to the computer the to-comment stack on a network to-do list is updated with a ready to visit HN story URL using query from the text on the screenshot parsed using Tesseract.

The OCR.

Tesseract is not really good for text on pictures (non-white background). You can use the free Space OCR API at https://ocr.space instead. Or, just upload your photographs to Google Photos. Google OCRs all images automatically(!) and you can search them for text in the images. This includes text e. g. On posters in the background.
