Caveat: This is a Flatpak and not all Linux distros ship with Flatpak. But I'll give it a whirl in my Fedora virtual machine. I've seen many flavors of this type of tool floating about, most of them leveraging Tesseract[0], and I've tried a few of them. It fails badly on grainy / noisy images or where the text is warped or skewed in some way. It will not solve CAPTCHAs for you!

- Retr0id 3y agoWhich distros does flatpak not work on?

- PlutoIsAPlanet 3y agoI'm sure it would work if you built it from source.
- SushiHippie 3y agohttps://flatpak.org/setup/ https://flatpak.org/setup/ Flatpak should work on every distro. However, it may not be included by default, so you need to install flatpak before installing this application.
- PlutoIsAPlanet 3y agoNot really a Caveat, if it only had an Deb you could argue it doesn't work on non-Ubuntu/Debian, which is far bigger caveat.
- akho 3y ago...it's a pile of Vala code. What you probably mean is that the author did not make a package for your distribution, and there is no one else who had the time and inspiration to package it. You can be the maintainer you seek.
