ocrvid

CLI tool to extract text from videos using OCR on macOS.

Installation

pip install ocrvid

[!NOTE] Currently, this tool only teted on macOS 13 or later.

Usage

Run OCR on a video

To extract text from a video, run:

ocrvid run path/to/video.mp4

then ocrvid generates frames from the video and runs OCR on each frame. Frames are saved in a directory named .ocrvid/frames/video/ in the current directory.

OCR results are saved in a json file named video.json in the current directory. (where video is taken from input file name video)

for example, run against the test video file at tests/video/pexels-eva-elijas.mp4 in this repo:

ocrvid run tests/video/pexels-eva-elijas.mp4

Then pexels-eva-elija.json is generated in the current directory which looks like this:

{
    "video_file":"tests/video/pexels-eva-elijas.mp4",
    "frames_dir":"xxx/.ocrvid/frames/pexels-eva-elijas",
    "frame_rate":100,
