A OCR tool for converting any image copied to clipboard (including windows snip) to text

• Install pytesseract from here.
• Make sure pytesseract is installed at C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\.
• Add C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe to your PATH
• Add parent\directory\OCR\dist\ocr.exe to your PATH.

Usage

• Copy any image with text or snip the area on screen with text.
• Press Win + R
• Type ocr.exe and hit enter.
• Wait for a terminal to pop-up and close.
• Ctrl + V for the text in image.

Note

• This only works on windows, with python 2.5+ and 3.x.
• I used pyinstaller to generate the executables for ocr.py.

OCR Clipboard Tool

This Python script allows you to perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on images copied to your clipboard. The recognized text is automatically copied to the clipboard for easy pasting.

   git clone https://github.com/wiseobjective8/ocr-clipboard-tool.git
   cd ocr-clipboard-tool

2. Install the required Python packages:

3. Ensure Tesseract OCR is installed on your system. You can download it from tesseract-ocr.github.io.

4. Update the tess parameter in the OCR class initialization if Tesseract is installed in a different location:

   tess: str = "C:\\Program Files\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe"

If an image is available in the clipboard, the script will perform OCR on it and copy the recognized text back to the clipboard.

Run the script using the following command:

python your_script.py --link <YouTube-video-URL>

You can also provide multiple URLs separated by spaces:

python your_script.py --link <YouTube-video-URL1> <YouTube-video-URL2>

Alternatively, you can run the script without the --link argument and input the video URL(s) interactively.

3. A confirmation to proceed with the download.

Logging

The script logs its activities to a file named download_log.log in the current directory. It also prints log messages to the console.

Packaging as a Standalone Executable

You can create a standalone executable using PyInstaller:

pyinstaller --onefile --distpath /path/to/your/desired/folder your_script.py

Replace /path/to/your/desired/folder with the path to the folder where you want the executable to be placed. Add the .exe to PATH for global usage of the executable.
