This website lets you paste an image from your clipboard then displays the text found on tht image. This project is just a simple and dirty implementation using tesseract-ocr.
In order for the application to work, the Tesseract-CLI and a preferred language resource must be installed on the system where the server runs. Also the npm packages must be installed with npm install.
Then you can start the application with npm start.
The website can be accessed via https://localhost:8080/. Simply hit Ctrl + V with an image in the Clipboard and then the found text should appear on the page.
I tried to use the Tesseract JS implementation, which would be a lot cleaner than writing directly to standard input of a CLI process, but the CLI was just waaaay faster for me.
Because of that, the system which runs the application needs to have the tesseract CLI installed. I tried to make this work on Heroku but the CLI somehow didn't work :(
