launching a powertoys app
For example PowerOCR [which is "Based on https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Text-Grab"] . There's an exe file for it, but it doesnt do anything if run manually.

Looking for an app to "Select an area and apply OCR", as good as Mac OCR apps
I know MS has a powertool that does this but it turns out it's just based on this software called Text Grab by Joe Finney, the same dev as Caffeinated - https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Text-Grab
There's also text grab https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Text-Grab
- I built Text Grab to be more productive with Text on Windows. Let me know what you think!

Just built my own free* OCR reader + Translator [with google APIs]
Also I haven't looked too much into the code but windows 10/11 seems to have a built in OCR for the languages you have installed. Text grab (https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Text-Grab) uses the API so it could be a nice alternative to using a cloud based soution and it's free.

Making an archive out of my grandfather's writings. What OCR scanning and doc mgt system to use?
On tesseract base here is a software to make a scan a text searchable pdf. It take a bit of time and can be a bit tedious but it does the work! https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader/releases It does not work well on cursive writing of course. It's a bit less heavy code sided solution. Good luck!
- Is there free software for windows that can read scanned handwriting and turn it into text?

Writer - Tips to remove breaks and hyphenations from PDF to DOC conversion?
I'm working with old newspaper PDFs to convert them into DOC formats. I'm having a great time with gImageReader by highlighting columns and converting them to plain text. Then I take that plain text into Libreoffice Writer (7.0.4.2) to clean up and save. If this were a book as opposed to a newspaper with ads and columns, it would have bee a lot easier to convert and format.

Best OCR software for extracting pdf to txt - Paid or Free version.
It would help to know a bit more of your usecase. If you're looking to just extract the text (ie, take all the textual content of your PDF and drop it into a separate text document), there are solutions like ABBYY Finereader and gImageReader. If you're looking to make PDFs searchable (keeping the scanned pages, but adding a text layer underneath so you can search and copy from them), there's NAPS2 (which has an additional command line tool for automation) and OCRmyPDF.

Help plz! Tool to enhance pdf text quality?
OpenSource OCR... for desktop users I like "gImageReader" URL: https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader (Technically is GUI for tessaract)

Good Open Source OCR software
gImageReader is the linux standard that I'm aware of. It's a GUI to Tessaeract, but IIRC you can use other models if you have them.
