This is a small software that converts text in an image into plain text.
Websites/Apps/Programs that do not allow you to copy/paste are annoying. >:(
It uses Tesseract OCR to identify text in image files and convert it into plain text.
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!
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.
Nope! No installation required, fire up the .exe file (Linux support is intended soon) and you're good to go!
Currently at: ```C:\Users<Your User>\AppData\Local\TextTools\tessdata
Note: Being able to change that is planned, but currently not supported.
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
