screenshot-text

BY @BAT — 12 DOWNLOADS — CONTENT

OCR any image (or PDF page, or video frame) to plain text. Uses Tesseract under the hood. Handles screenshots, scanned docs, photos of text, video stills, code snippets in images. Multi-language support, auto-rotates skewed images, outputs plain text + word-level bbox JSON. Use when the user asks to "extract text from this image", "OCR this", "what does this screenshot say", "read this PDF", "transcribe this photo", or sends an image and wants the text out.
