Stuck in update loop

best just ignore, happens sometimes in the alpha phases due to an old xcode bug (I should add a workaround for it, but not much motivation to spend time on that :sweat_smile: )

okay!

Question aside: Does BTT have an OCR function/option?

can you describe your usecase? Possibly it can be done. (You can always call Apple's shortcuts app from BTT)

At the moment I call the OCR function of Shottr app via an applescript to use the text in firefox or anywhere else. Would be nice to do it natively within BTT.

I have planned to add the native macOS OCR to BTT. It's not available yet as an action though.
However it is also pretty easy to create a shortcut in the shortcuts app that does the OCR - there is a native action for that as well. This can be called and retrieved from BTT.

Where is the image you want to ocr located? Is it a file or clipboard?

Via "screencapture -x -i -c" from system clipboard. Never played with shortcuts app :sweat_smile:

Then you could create a super simple shortcut like this:

and run it from BTT via the run real javascript action:

 let result = await runAppleShortcut({name: 'do_ocr'});
// do something with the result text

Or directly make the shortcut put the text into the clipboard:

And just run it as predefined action (shortcuts will show up in BTT as predefined actions)

I'll give it a try, Thx!

// Edit: works like a charm :wink:
