Description

Performs OCR on the current window or desktop so recognized text can be browsed by the user. It helps when an application shows text visually but does not expose it in an accessible way.

Use it for accessibility workflows or to inspect otherwise unreadable screen text. Because it reads screen contents, private information visible on screen may be processed.

How to run
