I just did an major rewrite.

It provides an UI to navigate the content, can store the result in clipboard= or just output to STDOUT. But its not though to be self voice, this is done by the screen reader. As you plan to reimplement your functionality, maybe it makes a lot of sense= to collaborate here and improve OCRdesktop in the given direction. It=E2=80= =99s written in pure python. Also its already in many distributions reposito= ry's. So anyone would benefit. Would be cool to join forces. What do you think? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ocrdesktop Cheers chrys ____________________________ See OCRDesktop https://github.com/chrys87/ocrdesktop <https://github.com/chr= ys87/ocrdesktop> for something kinda similar. Orca is a screen reader, it ca= nnot read images though. I don=E2=80=99t know of anything else anywhere remo= tely similar to this, but I think even blind people could find this useful.
