Feature suggestions – OCR and offline web pages #102

Hi devs, thank you for creating such an innovative and aesthetically pleasing knowledge management app!

I've left a review on the Play store with the same suggestions as below, but I will put them here in case you check Github more often:

  1. I save a lot of screenshots and pictures containing text. Being able to scan these saved images in Clipto using OCR (to find and use the scanned text later on) would save me so much time.

  2. In the same vein, I would love to import articles, tweets, Reddit posts, and other text-based sources from the Web, in order to read them offline.

For example, I want to be able to access my Twitter bookmarks offline and work with them as plaintext. I have found the Dewey webapp to import and organise them, but keeping them offline is really key for me.

Regardless, thanks again for this amazing app!

Great idea, I totally support that feature request. I believe much improved Tessaact 5 has just recently been released and I know of only one app yet supporting it.

Another one I'd love to see is a quick search & replace function inside notes. I'm correcting a lot of texts and having to replace a minuscule "i" a hundred times into a capital one "I" is no joy without replace function.

All that's missing then from making CT a perfect multi tool is integrating a capable Speech To Text API like Voicegain or even a GPT model from Open Whisper trained for write assistance. Just dreaming of course, but it would indeed be a killer feat; backdraft would be ClipTos then adjusted pricing model since STT would most likely be a premium feature only. That would make it THE app for writing resp. editing people.

Edit: well, to specify what I meant: didn't actually mean an AI chat feature for writing assistance but an audio transcription feature for live transcribing and file transcribing of audio + video including simultaneous translation option. There're a couple of dedicated Playstore apps doing exactly that, but really only a handful with mostly terrible design and function implementations. It's a huge market, tons of people demanding CORRECT WORKING STT transcription integrated into a serious writing environment without the appearance of a Mickey Mouse - a all that doesn't exist yet, for (specially semi-professionals without huge budget) end users it's basically a research operation they have to undertake themselves before they get a working solution put together.

Since very recently prices for API access have dropped dramatically, you get special offers designed for app devs with dedicated price models (at least I was surprised, thought it'd be much more expensive) for something like 60 EUR per month flatrate and no time rating limits. If I was a dev looking for a valuable new project I'd definitely have a look at that.
