Sikuli is good for desktop automation. For browser automation an extension based solution (such as this one) is easier to use.

Such a thing already exists. The ui.vision extension is roughly the same, but it runs locally (no cloud): https://ui.vision/rpa/docs/selenium-ide/capturescreenshot

I like the name. But how is this extension different from iMacros, Selenium IDE or UI.vision? These extensions are some well-known browser automation tools, each with > 100K users.…

Please be accurate. Correct would be: They removed a book they consider anti-semitic. That is quite different from what you stated. But great to include the source.

How about https://ocr.space/tablerecognition It returns table data line by line.

You can try the free ocr api at https://ocr.space/ocrapi

"The primary entry point for this API is a file picker (i.e. a chooser)." ...so what would be difference to today, where a user can "upload" files to the browser's local storage, a…

With Abbyy and ocr.space Local there are good and (for companies) affordable local OCR solutions available. There is really no need to use online(!) OCR for sensitive data. Plus, l…

But the website says: Your license comes with a year’s worth of updates. Once that year is up, you can keep using the last version of Sketch you downloaded, forever. That sounds ok…

Sikuli's big advantage is that it is cross-platform. If you are on Windows, KantuX does the same but optimised for Windows desktop automation.

Web browser macros! ...to automate logins plus some daily and weekly reporting and repetitive "check something" tasks. Once set up, macros are a huge time and typing saver. Formerl…

I should have explained this. The linked page allows you to try out several online OCR services instantly and compare their results with an overlay. This includes Google Cloud visi…

2015.... A quick test gives me much better results today with Google cloud vision: https://ocr.space/compare-ocr-software

The "best tool" is different for web developers and non-coders. If you are a non-technical person that just needs some data there is: (1) hosted services like mozenda (2) visual au…

The ability to create searchable PDFs is very useful and convenient. But creating searchable PDFs does not require a deep understanding of the document format (like column detectio…

"The common element in all these deaths is a gun. But the causes are very different, and that means the solutions must be, too." Nonsense... Proof: Any other country that has intro…

Nope... I am actually happy to admit that I am a below average driver (as driving is sooo boring), and from what I read, the AI is already driving better than me - if used in the c…

Birkenstock does not mind anyone selling cheaper sandals, but they do mind that "after deeming that Amazon wasn’t doing enough to guard against fakes."... which is actually reason …

+1 If time is an issue I would first migrate to a C# (or even VB.NET) based desktop app, and then later (if needed) add a web front end with ASP.NET

FWIW, here is a similar project done in C#: https://github.com/A9T9/OpenCV-Face-andmore-Tracker

In the "better than Tesseract" category is also Microsoft Azure OCR (not as good as Google) and the OCR.space OCR API (also not as good as Google, but 100* times cheaper/free, and …

Progress in this area is very slow, but there is progress. Example: Some court proceedings in Germany can now be done in English: http://www.fgvw.de/en/news/archive-2015/the-introd…

Now that is interesting. From the tender specification PDF doc: 3.1. Subject The subject of the contract is to provide the Commission with technical expertise in the field of: i. S…
