Webcam OCR

Live webcam feed scanned for characters in real time using Tesseract.js — an OCR engine running entirely in the browser via WebAssembly. No server, no API key. Just point the camera at text and watch the word log populate.

Each recognized word is filtered by a confidence threshold and deduplicated within a 4-second window so the log stays signal, not noise. Flip the feed to read mirrored text. Download the full session as a timestamped CSV.

flipMirror the camera feed horizontally — useful for reading text reflected in a mirror or reversed text on glass.

confidenceMinimum OCR confidence to log a word (20–90%). Higher = fewer false positives. Lower = catches more uncertain reads.

intervalTime between OCR scans (0.5s–5s). Longer intervals reduce CPU load; shorter intervals react faster to changing text.
