Because Google Photos has excellent character recognition capabilities, it happens that this information is retained in the JSON file. Can we also import this information into the photo's exif. I am using a replacement for Google Photos, but its character recognition is far inferior to Google Albums. I have searched for many tools but there is no convenient or mature method. Can the author implement this feature? Thank you again for your tools!

If we had exif inserting support i would think about this... but we don't right now :/

But i'll keep this issue - please add some examples of those jsons because mine didn't contain any of this

the people are listed in the JSON like:

  "people": [{
    "name": "Person Name"
  }, {
    "name": "Other Name"
  }],
