gImageReader(1)

💖 NAME 💖

gimagereader — a graphical GTK+ front-end to tesseract-ocr, bestie 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gimagereader-gtk [image-file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gImageReader is a simple GTK+ front-end to tesseract-ocr. That's the whole vibe, and honestly? It ate. 💅

It supports automatic page layout detection — but the user can also manually define and adjust the recognition regions, so like, you're never stuck with whatever the machine decided. Main character energy both ways, no cap. 👑

You can import images from disk, scanning devices, clipboard and screenshots. Yes bestie, all four. It's giving "we have options and we're not afraid to use them." 🎀

gImageReader also supports multipage PDF documents 📄✨

The recognized text is displayed directly next to the image, which is lowkey the best part honestly, and basic text editing is possible — including search/replace and removing of line breaks. Cleanup era fr fr. 🧚

Spellchecking for the output text is also supported — if the corresponding dictionaries are installed. So like… install the dictionaries, okay? That's the catch. 🙈

The documentation of gImageReader can be found from the "Options" menu. Go click it, iykyk. ⭐
