  On Python Bytes podcast #284 I heard about Text Sniper, a Mac app that allows you easily extract text from images and documents using screenshots (performs text recognition). It's a pretty slick app and I thought, "I can do that in Python" so I built Textinator, a Python clone of Text Sniper that does basically the same thing. MacOS only as it uses the Apple Vision framework to perform the text detection. ... Source: almost 3 years ago
