OCR-ing images so they become searchable

OCR-ing images so they become searchable

#53Idea

Coming from Bear, this is one thing I miss. It is one of the very few note-taking apps that has a proper built-in support for searching not only text but text within the images. Could we please bring this feature into Kosshi? Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I think searching for text within images would make Kosshi more useful. Apple provides the OCR functionality needed for this, so I’d like to give it a try.

Checked on v1.21.0 (211) build on both iOS and macOS. Works great. The only thing I want to point out is that the highlight appears a little below the text as you can see here:

I tried with different images which had different fonts and font sizes. I saw the same issue.

Thanks so much for reporting this. I've improved the alignment and visibility of the highlights in beta 1.21.0 (213).

Looks great, thanks!

Aside: could we please add a section under profile so I could see the topics I created? Here's a good working example from other forum.

Maybe clicking on 4 topics in the screenshot above list the topics? This would be most non-intrusive way of introducing this feature in the forum.

Looks nice!
