• How to use Latex-OCR?

  If you want image to text I would recommend https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract. - Source: Reddit / 23 days ago

• Google is freaking out about ChatGPT

• Exploring OCR and text-to-speech in FFMPEG...

  The ocr filter in ffmpeg is powered by the Tesseract library. As you will often find in ffmpeg, the build within ffmpeg has only a subset of the functionality of the original library - at least, for the moment. There's always the possibility of APIs being expanded in later ffmpeg releases. And it is open source of course, so there's the option of instigating those changes yourself - or using the original library... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Need to translate a 200 page book

  After that you would use Tesseract-OCR to OCR the pages. Tesseract is a open source multiplatform OCR software. If the typeface is something non standard you would have to train the recognition engine on your data. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Similar to OpenAI tech... Does anyone know if there is an AI that converts a handwritten text in an image to text? Does OpenAI have any in his playground?

  Alternatively, look into Tesseract. Allows you to do offline/local OCR; it might be a better option if you're on a tight budget with a huge image dataset. You could also look into training Tesseract with your own annotated text images for better results if you find the base model doesn't suit your needs. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Software Recommendations

  That sounds like it will almost certainly require custom scripting because your use case is unique. You can probably break down the problem into multiple steps which are easier to address. There is some decent pdf software out there that can handle OCR (optical character recognition) though barcodes specifically are a bit harder to get opensource solutions for - the main one being tesseract... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• How do I reliability convert screenshots of text to a text file?

  Rescribe is front-end for Google's Tesseract OCR engine. You can run rescribe against a folder/directory of image files (e.g. pngs). - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• OCR

  Tesseract (And it has many GUI-based applications as well.). - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Selenium for tableau

  I have done this in the past - take a screenshot of the webpage and OCR that using https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract (you can do all that in Python) , but that's not using Selenium at all. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• how can I code something or is there a software with allowes me transfer certain info from a pdf to excel automatically

  If you want to code it yourself, that could be a fun project! You could for example look at tools like pdftotext if your PDF is machine generated or OCR tools like tesseract if PDF are scans. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• PDF processing and analysis with open-source tools

  > Would love to find a cheaper (local) option vs AWS How about tesseract (https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Image (text) processing libraries?

  If you are grabbing from your webbrowser then the solution is scraping the source code rather than screen shots. If you are pulling from something like a game or a program that just presents a GUI with prerendered text then OCR is what you are looking for. OCR stands for Optical Charachter Recognition and the most popular offline library to use is called tessaract. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Hello world, first post on reddit. Looking for advice on how to get started with creating a program that can scan a page of these and identify the notes and then play a piano sound with the notes in the chord. Do I need to learn something like TensorFlow? Any ideas? Thanks!

  Afterwards you can try an existing optical character recognition pipeline e.g. Tesseract https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract to try to parse the text. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Off Grid Security Cameras?

  Oh, that might work, I'll take a look thank you. I was playing around with some ideas[Googling stuff] last night and came across https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract which looks like it might be promising if I can keep the image fairly well controlled. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Papermerge 2.1 is now in BETA

  Under the hood it uses OCRmyPDF which in its turn uses tesseract which means almost any language can be detected (they advertise it with - "supports more then 100 languages"). Yes, it supports Greek language as well. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Nestor is not your typical nominee. While he loves Trump and God, is against covid precautions or the vaccine, most of his research is done via tiktok. Delta paid him a first visit, Omicron decided to stop by as well but only given by a vaccinated individual, enabling Nestor to earn his nomination

  Take the slides and use OCR software to extract the text. Then there are various Web sites where a block of text can be pasted in and standard reading scores (e.g. Flesch-Kincaid) calculated. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Do you guys have an OCR workaround?

  For OCR I used Tesseract https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract which is available via toltec on device. If you want to look at more modern approaches https://huggingface.co/microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten might be interesting. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Universal UI testing based on image and text recognition

  In order to implement text recognition, I needed to use another library, Tesseract. It is an optical character recognition engine made by Google. There is also a .NET wrapper for this library. I had to use a few tricks to properly match arbitrary text with a library that is best suited for digitized books, and cleverly use page segmentation methods. You will find how I used Tesseract in this C# class. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

  For linux (or GNOME more specifically) there is Frog[1]. It uses Tesseract OCR[2] under the hood. [1]: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tenderowl.frog [2]: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How to properly execute this workflow with PDFs

  Tesseract has Rust bindings and has been around for a while. It's not clear from your description what you're trying to accomplish, but I think for OCR, tesseract is an easy OSS way to start. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
