TextChaser is a gui application for Google Tesseract OCR Engine. In addition to that, it also uses a pretrained EAST model for text detection from scene images and then inputs the detected boxes to Tesseract for image to text conversion. The gui part is developed with PySide6.

⚠️ This work is from a 2019 job I took for an English-Farsi OCR application and currently is being heavily refactored and changed so that it can be used for other languages and include more OCR engines and scene text detection models. It might not work out of the box right now. When I remove this message it will be functional.
