TextTools (v0.2)

This is a small software that converts text in an image into plain text.

Why?

Websites/Apps/Programs that do not allow you to copy/paste are annoying. >:(

What does it do?

It uses Tesseract OCR to identify text in image files and convert it into plain text.

But there are tools online that do that easily!!!!

True, but, this one is 100% free! no annoying ads involved, no pop-ups, no image limit, and no trying to sell you a subscription!

What languages does it support?

Every language supported by Tesseract OCR is available for download in the program.

As for the interface, currently, the program is only available in English (default) and Brazilian Portuguese.

Alright, how do I install-

Nope! No installation required, fire up the .exe file (Linux support is intended soon) and you're good to go!

Where are the downloaded files stored?

Currently at: ```C:\Users<Your User>\AppData\Local\TextTools\tessdata

Note: Being able to change that is planned, but currently not supported.

Can I build from source?

Yup, all you need is to clone this repository, and add Tesseract-OCR's instalation on the same folder (Available on their website!). After having these files, hit pyinstaller --noconsole --onefile --name "TextTools(V0.2)" --add-data "Tesseract-OCR;Tesseract-OCR" TextTools.py On a Python environment, you need the following packages from pip: pyinstaller Pillow pytesseract requests pyperclip

Main functions:

  • Choose and download Tesseract OCRs many different image recognition language data files available for your usage.
  • Choose an image file to convert to text
  • Paste an image from the clipboard to convert to text
  • Open image from a link to convert it to text
  • More soon(?)

To-do

  • Language selector to optimize Tesseract's usage. - Done!
  • Language selector for the interface (Currently the program is in Brazilian Portuguese only.) - Done!
  • ... Make the interface look better.
  • Linux support.
  • Being able to choose where Tesseract OCR language data files are stored (for better portability).
