Show HN: dpScreenOCR – a program to recognize text on the screen
danpla.github.ioIn a nutshell, dpScreenOCR can recognize text from the selected screen area, and then can copy it to the clipboard, add it to history, or pass it as an argument to an executable.
Although I believe this software (dpScreenOCR-1.1.0-win32-2.exe) is fully safe, virustotal is giving 2 false positives (Avast and AVG).
I mean, probably part of your users will not install the program because of this. Maybe you want to track the reason and kill these false positives. This guy documented his process: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/oct/05/dealing-with-...
Oh, thank you. I tried the ZIP on VirusTotal, and it looks like the false positives are triggered for Qt platform plugins, namely qwindowsvistastyle.dll qwindows.dll:

I'll try to figure out what to do about that.
As a long time user, this makes me so happy. Congratulations, Daniel!
I've been using v1.0.2 for almost over a year. I remember asking about tray icon support when it was already implemented[1]. I have been eagerly waiting for the release since then![2]
Thanks for the awesome, lightweight tool.

You're welcome!
Works great, thank you! Is there a way to configure the look of the capture box? It's a little bulky for my tastes.
You're welcome! For now, it's impossible to configure the capture box, but I can add an option to change its thickness in the next version.
I just updated the Windows installer to fix long startup time and high drive load. Sorry for the inconvenience.
