Extracting text from images using Tesseract

After I learned about Tesseract I immediately wanted to use it. So I made this simple web app.

You can take a picture of a document, edit it on your favorite photo editor, crop the part you're interested in, and feed to the app, so you can extract the text.

I'm also planning using this to extract text from memes, so people with visual impairment can also have a laugh.

Get the app here.

The memes app I was talking about is here - I'm not the creator of the memes, I just scrape them together.

Airbrush AI Photo Editor offers batch processing capabilities. This feature allows users to apply the same edits to multiple photos simultaneously, significantly speeding up the workflow. Batch processing is invaluable for tasks such as editing wedding photos, product images for e-commerce, or creating a series of themed social media posts. By automating repetitive tasks, users can focus more on creativity and less on time-consuming manual edits.
