Nice overview. "Freemium is a harder model to implement in open source, since the source is, well, open, but we do see this in things like WordPress...." => Just to add another fla…

"they're near impossible to monetize "... I would not say so. => Our UI (test) automation/RPA software consists of a totally free open-source extension for web automation plus a pa…

Very nice idea. As an ISV with a freemium open-source extension, I would happily pay for an official security review that I could present to our users. Our extension is secure by d…

Our initial tests were with standard template matching algorithms. With the Javavscript implementation we were stuck in the 60 seconds+ range per image search. With WebGL it was ~0…

Just to mention a real life use case: We are using WebAssembly for the image recognition features in our Visual UI Testing browser extension "Kantu". Before switching to WA, we tes…

I am not the op, but (faster) WebAssembly could turn out to be a big thing for browser extensions. For example, we are just in the process of adding WebAssembly powered image searc…

Agree - startup alley is not the place to meet (non startup) customers. I have been to Startup Alley once with my previous company. We managed to get exactly 0 new customers out of…

Another Jekyll advantage: Jekyll it makes it easy to host a blog under your main domain.com/blog, without the need to use a subdomain, without the need to fiddle with Wordpress and…

3 months seems long. We ported our Copyfish extension to Firefox recently, and the approval process took only ~10 days. I think first feedback took about a week. The reviewer repli…

Extension can/could read all data that you enter in websites. So you should only install extensions from trusted sources/developers. And/or: What I do is to have one Chrome profile…

Not very long... Assert, frame/iframe and EVAL support are next on the list. Plus fixing any bugs that might show up. For bug reports and feature requests you can email us (team AT…

Thanks for testing ;) The documentation is still very basic. I made a quick screencast just now and put it on https://a9t9.com/kantu/web-automation/chrome#video In Chrome, you firs…

There is simply no good OCR engine available that can run inside a Chrome or Firefox extension. The best available is Tesseract.js. And while this engine is fantastic as a project,…

Actually, based on my tests, there are only a few good services: Abbyy (best recognition rate but by far most expensive), Google Cloud Vision (second best recognition rate), Micros…

Done. In addition, the email listed on https://github.com/A9T9 also reaches me.

> When used on a video does it keep a history of all OCRed text? Not yet - but this feature is already on my todo list ;) Thanks for the hint about the chinese forums!

I understand that hosted OCR, just like SaaS in general, is not suitable for every use case. On the other hand, the OCR.space OCR API has a very strict privacy policy: https://ocr.…

Well, at least this confirms that the screenshots are not manipulated ;) The tricky part for the OCR in this example is the diverse background, as the Chinese characters are direct…
