[Okular-devel] OCR Tool for Okular

[Anıl Özbek]

That would be great. I've started to read related documents like "The
development lifecycle for a new application" and "Get a Contributor
Account" from KDE TechBase.

By the way, when I searched deeper I found two similar app to my future scr2ocr:

* ocr_copy: https://github.com/spreelanka/ocr_copy
* liveocr: https://github.com/gkovacs/liveocr

these (they're not complete and therefore not work as expected, at
least for me) and KSnapshot, QSnapshot, ScreenGrab, YASCU-Qt etc.
screen capture softwares may help me writing scr2ocr.

But I don't sure about screen capturing part in scr2ocr, maybe I don't
need implement it at all. Screen captureres or softwares' internal
tools do this for me :) For example (may be not a good one but):

$ ksnapshot --region --copy-to-stdout | scr2ocr

I hope I can contribute directly to Okular in future. There are some
very nice feature requests at KDE Bugzilla:
