Open e-splat opened 11 months ago

e-splat commented 11 months ago

With this feature you can select text from image like on MIUI Gallery

Might be better to explore integration of open-source alternatives, like tesseract?

@ArtikusHG Google Lens offers much more than tesseract, like recognizing objects or image search.

MLKit would go in this case I guess?

ArtikusHG commented 8 months ago

@mon-jai there are fully open-source projects that integrate image search without proprietary tools (I believe NextCloud does this? don't quote me on that though), so I don't think that's enough of a reason to use Google Lens. If you wanna use Google Lens might as well just use the stock Google Gallery - this project is open source for a reason! (just my thoughts though, the developer might disagree)

mon-jai commented 8 months ago

@ArtikusHG, I don't think such open-source services exist because image search requires the service to "index" every publicly available image on the internet.

Regarding the second point, I believe there is still a difference between an open-source client and a proprietary client.

Google Lens won't be integrated for the sole reason of being a Google Managed proprietary technology, but I will try some of the open source alternatives and try to make something fit nicely with the app, but Image based Google searching won't be between the features.

The goals for it are:

@e-splat what about changing the title?
