[feature] Some OCR filter for images

Open dgtlmoon opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Since we dont see the change in images, some OCR plugin could be cool, maybe as a Visual Filter selector option

checkbox "[ ] OCR this selection"

Then it can connect directly to the part that throws an exception when only an image is present in the selection by updating the text

That will be awesome. I was just trying to find a solution.

This could also help with cases where the page is a fully rendered canvas.

I am currently dealing with a page like that, and unless there is some other way, I have yet to find a way to see differences, I can use the browser steps and all that to end up where I want but then no way to detect the differences.

Maybe a webhook that you can post the contents and screenshot to before doing the diff would be amazing, that way you can offload the legwork to some other service that's dedicated to extraction.
