During meetings, I often paste screenshots containing large blocks of text. It would be valuable to be able to have search include the words from those blocks of text. For instance, if I had this image in a page
Yes. I’m taking notes from a video right now (lots of screenshots pasted right into obsidian)… I used to do this in onenote and now I can’t search the images.
I haven’t tried the Tesseract installation yet, but I’ve used the Taskbone service. At least it’s easy to setup and it works well, but I understand that in some cases it’s not desirable to send private data to a third party to process.
A core plugin would be welcome, I think. I took a quick glance on the Tesseract installation instructions, and it didn’t look too difficult, but I wish a plugin could download the Tesseract binary automatically. Now you need to download it manually on Windows & Linux. On Mac you can use a brew command.
