I wish Linux distro would come with an API like this. Microsoft, Apple, and Android all come with offline OCR engines to select text from images yet on Linux I’m still running tesseract like a fool. KDE Connect stopped supporting proper clipboard sync so exchanging text from pictures on my phone sucks now.
oh, Microsoft got even better at spying on people?
come on, this is a bug, not a feature.
Windows has had an offline OCR API for ages. This is based on the phone link software that exchanges files
You can always use the existing offline code this is obviously based on or compile it from source.

Yeah, just ingesting more data for their ai.
Also, android police blocked me from reading that fawning and poorly written article. Thank you reader view
This is so true. Every “improvement” of their software is a way to collect more data.
