description: How to install optical character recognition data for Tesseract
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This feature allows you to select a screen region, recognize it as text
|
|
and copy this text to the clipboard. Recognition works locally on your
|
|
PiKVM and does not use any cloud services. It uses the [Tesseract OCR
|
|
library](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract). Tesseract does not
|
|
see your image until you explicitly give the recognition command. The
|
|
evil AI is not watching your screen.
|
|
|
|
## Language support
|
|
|
|
For any language, you will have to install its support. It is very easy to do this (English language for example):
|
|
```
|
|
# rw
|
|
# pacman --assume-installed tessdata -S tesseract-data-eng
|
|
# ro
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List all available languages in the repository:
|
|
```
|
|
# pacman -Ss tesseract-data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Disabling OCR
|
|
|
|
If you want to get rid of this feature completely, you need to delete Tesseract and all its data:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# rw
|
|
# pacman -R tesseract
|
|
# reboot
|
|
```
