Android won't be easy, but you can slap together a python script that runs tesseract or easyOCR and runs it through a pretrained LLM like T5. Those are well-known and well-documented, so chatGPT can probably write the script for you without too many hiccups.

From OP:

  1. Don't have ChatGPT
[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read that as either "I don't have premium" or "I can't run this data through chatgpt for whatever reason".

Free chatGPT is viable for writing scripts in any case.

[–] starman@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, maybe he/she don't have API access, I didn't think about it that way.

I'm guessing they meant don't want to use chatGPT considering it's free

[–] starman@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Well, you give open AI a lot of personal data, so it's not free from a certain point of view. That may be the reason why OP don't want to use it.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Plenty of valid reasons not to want to use it was just the wording that seemed odd

[–] ciagovv@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you can run that in termux, so you csn use it in android

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck trying to install tesseract and a deep learning framework in termux.
