OCR is an automation tool designed to pull text out of images or PDFs. It’s super useful, you can scan documents and then use OCR to create a markdown/plaintext copy that’s easier to search for. I like doing this for documents where I need the wording more than the paper itself, like my lease
Ah. So it’s the tech/protocol/[correctlabel] that’s behind the technology that allows me to just hold down the home button on my Samsung S24 while looking at that picture so I can just paint and copypaste this from the image?
That looks pretty good, and yes that is an accurate finding about your phones feature. We can take this one step further though, if you can find a good webp to pdf converter like Sterling-pdf (self-host able but I don’t have a machine with me at work to do this rn), then you can convert the PDF to markdown and it will preserve the formatting. Then we can convert it to HTML and we’ve reverse engineered the page in the image and could even publish it onto the open web!
Edit: actually you can probably skip the markdown step now that I think about it lol
Annnnnd I’ll just save this photo.
Might as well spam a bit to panic any crawling bots by the numbers it’s posted
Yeah why not. I sure hope they have OCR enabled
What’s OCR? Please elaborate. I could Google it, but a personal touch is always nice.
