Comment on Frog: OCR Tool for Linux

Comments

A useful tool and great UI work. A handy extension would be the ability to extract text of specific colour, e.g. the highlights in Kindle's Cloud Reader, to get around the 10% highlight export cap that Amazon puts on most books. I did this previously by running the screenshot through ImageMagick's colour filling and thresholding options before passing the output to Tesseract. A colour picker tool might be a nice addition.
