Show HN: MacOCR – OCR any text on screen
The problem with Naptha that the OCR quality of Tesseract (used by Project Naptha) is not very good for screenshots. Historically Tesseract has been optimized for text documents. So the OCR results of this macOCR app are significantly better.
Another alternative is Copyfish. It is cross-platform and uses cloud ocr:

OCR pdf and just keep the OCR text
Fair enough, maybe this might work for you, it should seperate the text from image anyway and if you have Adobe acrobat it should be able delete the background too with the edit function. It may already be able to do that if you haven't tried it
