Hello, OCRDesktop uses tesseract through tesserwrap under the hood.It only works under X (not wayland) and handles the whole window not parts of the web page as proposed in the original message.
But still, it's working great and it's awesome, I am using it regularly.For example I was able to install Windows in a VM by using it before Microsoft has added narrator support to the install media.

Perhaps for the future it should be more tightly integrated however there are security and conveniece issues to consider that I think are not trivial to solve. For me it's very usefull even at this point. Greetings Peter 13. 9. 2020 2:08:06 Jason White via orca-list <orca-list gnome org>:Chrome (and probably Chromium) have an image recognition feature that depends on a Google server. I don't know whether this includes OCR though. On 9/12/20 3:22 AM, Vojtěch šmiro via orca-list wrote:Good Morning, OCR is great idea.

Would be helpful in some situations on the Web. I ask here for user feedbacks and Joanie technical opinions about the idea I am thingking about: - the OCR feature would take the graphical object under the caret (or the flat review) - would send it as an image to an OCR engine - would open a "subwindow" and paste the OCR result, just lke a window pop-up to make the link list appear Would be it useful? feasible? If not in Orca, is it possible for an external tool to know where Orca caret place (browsing cursor) and use it?
