winget install --id dynobo.NormCapAbout NormCap
OCR-powered screenshot tool to capture text instead of images.
What's new in 0.6.0
All systems: - 🗲 Breaking: Remove commandline argument --mode {parse,raw} in favor of a new argument --parse-text {True, False}. - Add (optional) QR-Code and barcode detection. - Add option --screenshot-handler to explicitly choose among available methods. - Fix language downloads for some specific languages by falling back to different model type (#744). Windows: - Add automatic export of debug logs (when running normcap.exe -v debug) to {DESKTOP_FOLDER}\normcap.log for easier access. - Fix crash on start if user directory contains special characters (#608). Linux: - 🗲 Breaking: Drop support for Ubuntu 20.04 and Gnome < 41.0 - 🗲 Deprecating: AppImage builds are being deprecated. Even with a lot of effort, it turns out that AppImage is too unreliable. (We will still build AppImage for a while, but they might go away any time.) - Change priority of clipboard handlers: wl-clipboard is now lowest priority (as it seems least reliable), below xsel and xclip. (Please open an issues, if this doesn't work well for you.) - Add handlers to take screenshots via gnome-screenshot or spectacle. Should mitigate some issue for screenshots on Wayland (not all!). - Fix AppImage requires libcrypt, which is not the case anymore. - Fix NormCap not getting focus when moved with Gnome extension "Window Calls" - Fix trying incompatible screenshot and clipboard handlers in Flatpak. MacOS: - 🗲 Breaking: Drop support for macOS 12 (Monterey) and older.
