Data collection: Apify actors, one per source, that scrape the open-data endpoints and normalize them. Quebec RBQ ships a daily bulk CSV (inside a 10.8 MB zip, ~924k rows that dedupe to ~54k active licences). Ontario HCRA has no bulk file โ it's an internal JSON API behind the public registry. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

BYOK. It runs on your own Apify token. No shared keys, no lock-in, no licensing chokepoint โ a lesson the whole "Proxycurl shut down and stranded everyone" saga taught the space. - Source: dev.to / 25 days ago

Capture2Text is FOSS. It uses Tesseract as it's OCR engine, which is great as you can use different language data files to find the one that is the most accurate for your purposes. Source: over 4 years ago
Capture2Text is the simplest solution and it works surprisingly well with the Cold Steel/Hajimari text boxes... Once it runs in the background press a previously assigned hotkey and select the area on the screen to be captured. I recommend deactivating its popup window, you just want the text to be copied into the clipboard. Source: about 5 years ago
You should have a look at Capture2Text and ShareX. They offer OCR translation (ShareX links to google translator in your browser, when you do OCR Translation, I think). Source: over 5 years ago
