ocr-snip

A very simple screen caputer -> OCR script.

Platforms

Debian 8 but any linux machine should be able to run it with all dependencies. Could support this on windows but I don't feel like writing a google OCR isntaller and other custom windows code for a one nighter projct.

Dependencies

• Python
• tkinter
• pytesseract
• Googles tesseract OCR engine
• Python Image Library (PIL)
• pyqt

install

git clone https://www.github.com/wamadahama/ocr-snip
cd ocr-snip
sudo ./install.sh
python snip.py

Moving forward

• My own OCR algorithm
• More than QT bindings
• Draw an actual box during selection
