OCR (optical character recognition) is something I would say that most
of us are familiar with.
But are we really familiar with how far it's come?
macOS now includes seamless, intuitive OCR on pretty much any image on
your computer.
I had just done some work with a client who has been experiencing a
crash of the driver software for her "Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter", and walking her through the difference between putting
her computer to sleep with the power button—which doesn't fix her
problem of course, and holding the power button down long enough to
force her computer to turn off completely—which does (it seems there was also something going on which was causing the Start menu to appear
without the column on the left which contains the normal power options
to do normal shutdown or restart).
But of course, I want to solve her underlying problem, so I took a quick screenshot of the driver tab of the adapter's properties window, and now
I'm looking at that screenshot on my Mac.
I was about to open it up in Preview so that I could re-type the
information into a browser and see if there was some known issue with
this driver (version "12.0.0.954") when I remembered that Apple had
added "Live Text" to macOS starting with Monterey (version 12).
And wouldn't you know it:
It even works in the Finder's "Quick Look" view of files.
I was able to select the screenshot, press the spacebar...
...and then just copy the text right out of an image.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that text from a screenshot like that is very clean and thus easy to perform OCR on...
...but I took a quick look at some photos I'd taken for a client project that happened to contain random text and the range of text it can
convert is impressive.
"ingenico" works from an image of a point-of-sale reader despite the
fact that there's a horizontal line immediately above all the text
between the two 'i's.
"SCENE+ POINTS
FO YOUR LIST." gets the "TO" wrong... ...but it happened to be right
where there's a bright reflection which almost completely obscures the
"T" of "TO".
"I Scotiabank Scene+ Visa Card." same thing here. The "I" is erroneous,
but only because it's in the blown out area of the image.
"FC LiftMaster." is actually the FCC logo, so I won't complain that it
can't interpret a "C" within another "C".
It isn't even flummoxed by French.
It's just so slick!

Interesting, but does Mac OS have a baked-in copy history like
Windows. That is incredibly useful. OCR? Never seem to need it, but I
can see it being handy for some. Copy history is something a lot of
people might use. I think there are 3rd party Mac OS utilities for
that feature.

Oh, the little shit is having a snit. Pity, it's an open forum.
You imagine that's a snit, Lying Little Shit?
Of course you are. I just pointed out something quite useful baked into Windows but not MacOS. So you had to insult and deflect. So like you, Alan.
I neither insulted nor deflected, Lying Little Shit.
I accurately identified that you decided to deflect from my topic to one of your own...
LOL. My post just stated that Windows has a feature I like.The part where it was being implied that Windows' copy history function

has relevance to the subject of OCR.
Does Windows have a copy history function (hint: Windows Ctrl-V)? ...
How well does Windows "copy history" function perform OCR?
If it can't, then it is off-topic to this thread's subject.

macOS now includes seamless, intuitive OCR on pretty much
any image on your computer.
I had just done some work with a client who has been
experiencing a crash of the driver software for her
"Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter", and
walking her through the difference between putting her
computer to sleep with the power button—which doesn't fix
her problem of course, and holding the power button down
long enough to force her computer to turn off
completely—which does (it seems there was also something
going on which was causing the Start menu to appear
without the column on the left which contains the normal
power options to do normal shutdown or restart).
But of course, I want to solve her underlying problem, so
I took a quick screenshot of the driver tab of the
adapter's properties window, and now I'm looking at that
screenshot on my Mac.
I was about to open it up in Preview so that I could
re-type the information into a browser and see if there
was some known issue with this driver (version
"12.0.0.954") when I remembered that Apple had added
"Live Text" to macOS starting with Monterey (version
12).
And wouldn't you know it:
It even works in the Finder's "Quick Look" view of
files.
I was able to select the screenshot, press the
spacebar...
...and then just copy the text right out of an image.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that text from a
screenshot like that is very clean and thus easy to
perform OCR on...
...but I took a quick look at some photos I'd taken for a
client project that happened to contain random text and
the range of text it can convert is impressive.
"ingenico" works from an image of a point-of-sale reader
despite the fact that there's a horizontal line
immediately above all the text between the two 'i's.
"SCENE+ POINTS FO YOUR LIST." gets the "TO" wrong...
...but it happened to be right where there's a bright
reflection which almost completely obscures the "T" of
"TO".

I didn't say your lie was in this post.
The thread you chose to post in was about OCR in specific and the
amazing pace of technological change in genera.
Like the little shit you are, you chose to post something that is in no
way related to those subjects.
