This is really what we need from things like Google Lens and things that can scan images for text; filtering out stuff based on text visible in an image.
Fuck Google, just use tesseract
yeh!
Lemmy should do this automatically on the server to help with our filters.
How do we submit a feature request?
That would be a pretty expensive feature request.
Why?
OCR and especially AI image processing takes a lot of computing power, much much more than filtering plain text.
Last time I checked tesseract had pretty good performance, but I may be mistaken.
You’re right. I’ve preferred it in mobile applications where specialized hardware is not guaranteed and battery use matters. Results are consistent.
