Finally got a bill from Google for running text recognition on @openbenches
We get 1,000 free per month - so it isn't too bad 馃槃
If anyone knows of a good *local* OCR solution? (Not Tesseract, it isn't good enough.)
Or an online service with more than 1K free requests per year would work too.
In return for being a named sponsor the I can just about cover that particular expense 馃榿

I don't know, what OmniTools is using for OCR in the background.
It is easy to run it locally.
For testing purposes also a demo is available:

@db_geek gonna be honest, that's pretty underwhelming 馃珷
@Edent I am currently doing a lot of vision work on documents, PaddleOCR for a fully local setup is doing decently, might be worth looking into.
Compared to Teserract its setup for scene text detection, so it got a chance to work for benches :)
