Quick Intro to the project

I took the time a while back to make a program which would transform image of text to actual text using tesseract. Naturally the biggest place for me to have some fun with this was GW2, so I turned the project into a GW2 transcribing project. The goal being that it can read what happens in the chat box and dump it to a text file

Notice

Before going further, let me be completely clear, this IS a program which by definition captures things happening on your screen. I don't try at any point in the program to really censor anything out so if you put your banking details window in the wrong spot while this runs and randomly send the text file without checking it to someone.... well you shouldn't.

Getting Started

I have the code setup on github with some detailed install information for those who want to run the python code themselves. Alternatively there is also a simple .exe file one can run in the releases with a youtube video the install steps and how to use it (usage explanation starts around 4:00).

I don't really have much else to say as a very significant portion of it all is covered in the video, if you have questions or issues let me know in the talk page. If you want to contribute to the project let me know as well, I can't say that I plan on actively working on it a whole lot more but I'm not opposed to brushing it up now and again.
