thanks for updating the addon, it works but is slow Comment from author Hi thanks for the feedback! Optimizing the code and processing may speed up the process, I’ll look into it.

I use it for typed image occlusion cards only and it works flawlessly! Scans thousands of cards in a couple minutes and makes my life much easier. Comment from author thanks for the feedback!👍️

hi, thanks for your beautiful add on, does it support Persian language? as far as checked unfortunately it doesn’t Comment from author AnkiOCR allows you to add new languages in the settings, if you download fas.traineddata from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata it will probably work. How to use this add-on please read the original add-on instructions: https://github.com/cfculhane/AnkiOCR?tab=readme-ov-file#ankiocr

Amazing add on, makes studying 100x more efficient being able to search up IOs.
HOWEVER, there is a bug where after I enter “browse” and use arrow keys to move between cards, the notes update.
Then, if I try to undo changes or answers to my cards, then every single arrow key input I put in (eg. up arrow 10x), will count as an edit and I will need to press undo 10x until I can undo.
Not sure if this is an OCR problem or if this is an anki problem, as I have tried removing the add-on and the

Great add on, however, when I go into browse and use the arrow keys to navigate between cards this registers as me updating the cards. Thus when I try to undo after exiting browse I have to press it multiple times to actually undo the card I was on… Comment from author Hi thanks for reporting the problem, I’ll look into it.

its good but i can’t take the output as a text Comment from author Hi, thanks for the feedback. There is another add-on that generates text from images with OCR, but that is also broken (This OCR-Addon is still in the process of being repaired, so I did not repair the other OCR-Addon). I will try to fix it later. 🔵Edit: I fixed it, check it out👍️ 📸PasteOCR - Paste image as text (Fixed for Anki24 by Shige) https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1808435406

It only adds to the tool tip and the OCR capability is not that great. Comment from author Thank you for the feedback. I think to use this Add-on in a specific language, you need to install the language file. (Language files are intentionally excluded because the file sizes are quite large.) Please refer to the original Add-on for detailed instructions. 🔵Edit : Perhaps the cause of this problem is the background color of the text. On a white background I could OCR it fine, but if the background
