Parse text from image to plain text (written in Go)
After playing Warcraft III custom maps, As some maps don't support saving and loading from a file. Since it's not very enjoyable to type codes manually, I thought it would be nice to build something that can extract the code from a screenshot so I can just copy and paste it into the game.
Install tesseract. Then build go binary
go build .
and execute it like
pti2tg read -p <path-to-theimage.png>
Build container:
docker build -t pti2tg .
run it mounting the image and pass it using flagh -p:
docker run --rm -v /Users/yourusername/somefolder:/images pti2tg read -p /images/image-name.jpg
NOTE: if tesseract is not working or Docker have limited access to the folders ( like on Mac ) you could place image right in the Docker container and hardcode "./image-name.png" for that you have
hardcodedPathvariable inRootCmdfunction command.
h help
v display the version of pti2tg
read reads text from the image, flag -p allow to provide a custom path to the image
You can also use the -v or --version or
-h, --help help
-v, --version display the version of pti2tg
