Universal UI testing based on image and text recognition
I started looking for UI testing solutions for desktop applications. I quickly discarded expensive UI testing suites. WinAppDriver was very interesting, but one of the requirements was to add some kind of identifiers on every UI element that we wanted to interact with. This would have required a huge effort from the team.

Highlighting Image Text
We are going to be using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine called Tesseract for the image-to-text recognition part. It is free software, released under the Apache License. Install the engine for your desired OS from their official website. I'm using Windows for this. Add the installation path to your environment variables.

Marker: Convert PDF to Markdown quickly with high accuracy
Last update was pretty recent, and the git mentions tesseract 5 as a dep. so it's likely moved on a bit from when you last tried it:
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/releases
I suppose it depends on your use-case. For personal tasks like this it should be more than sufficient, and won't need user details/cc or whatever to use it.

So You Decided to Extract Recipe Text From Scans of Your Grandpa's Old Cookbook Using Pytesseract (+ My Grandma's Fig Cake Recipe) (+ Hidden Recipes To Be Found)
Install Google Tesseract OCR (additional info how to install the engine on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows). You must be able to invoke the tesseract command as tesseract. If this isn’t the case, for example because tesseract isn’t in your PATH, you will have to change the “tesseract_cmd” variable pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd. Under Debian/Ubuntu you can use the package tesseract-ocr. For Mac OS users. please install homebrew package tesseract.
