Description of the new feature / enhancement

I love the tool, it so great. But it would better to support Vietnamese letters in the text extractor add on. Thank you

Scenario when this would be used?

all financial statements in Vietnam are all paper scan version, It would be great to support Vietnamese languague

@quochungtule Basically, this tool uses Window API to extract text (read more here) so it would be really hard and complicated to add since we have to do it from scratch.

Currently it does not support Vietnamese. You can use the PowerShell tool with administrator rights and execute the following command to see the list:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object { $_.Name -Like 'Language.OCR*' }

I recommend using the alternative application Capture2Text with Vietnamese support package for your purposes.
