Show HN: CopyLasso, a free local screen OCR app for macOS
Show HN (score: 6)Description
I was surprised to find only a few solutions for this that were all paid, so I made a free and open source version.
CopyLasso is a native Swift app built with ScreenCaptureKit and Apple Vision. It's MIT-licensed, signed, and notarized.
To use it, just press your keybind and draw a bounding box around the text you want to copy. The text is recognized locally and copied to your clipboard.
Other features include copying QR codes and barcodes, multi-language recognition, and (if you opt-in) encrypted capture history.

Feedback and ideas for features to add appreciated!

Show HN: A new way to read books, magnifying in and out
Show HN: A new way to read books, magnifying in and out After watching The Odyssey, I thought it would be cool to check out some scenes from the source in detail, but I don't have time to read the whole book. So I came up with a sort of zoom/microscope, that allows to see the whole book at a glance and then zoom in (by pinching) on the part I'm interested in. I can do so down to the actual source text and get the authentic feel the author intended, at the same time I better understand where am I in the text and also the character and places are clickable so I can quickly orient myself on the context. Moreover each character has relationships listed and a map of relationships can be opened from there <a href="https://book.curiora.space/relations/" rel="nofollow">https://book.curiora.space/relations/</a>
