Description

Text on the current window or desktop can be recognized and made browsable. This helps users inspect screen content that is image-based, inaccessible, or difficult to select manually.

It is a development version of a screen OCR tool. Because it reads visible screen content, avoid using it on private documents, chats, passwords, or confidential work.

How to run

ocrdesktop

Commands: ocrdesktop
