On: Show HN: Screen memory without screenshots, just text to Markdown

Project reasons aside, macOS has perfectly capable, local, native OCR that you can access programmatically, without having to install something else.

OCR starts from screenshots though. This only grabs text via accessibility APIs, before rendering or any screenshots.

Yes, I know. Like I said: “Project reasons aside”. I’m not suggesting OCR for this, I’m imparting the general information to be used in other situations that in macOS you can OCR without requiring third-party tools.

Fair! It is actually new and interesting information for me (not into macOS dev)
