Hi could you please help us with our project?

We want to detect all text on screenshot of software. This is a more complex task than we tough, Tesseract and EasyOCR doesn't work.

We did a lot of preprocessing (binarization, denoise, scale*3, grayscale...) and managed to go up to 90% detection on tesseract on most software.

Our software is an AI that answer question based on what it saw on the screen ( It is called onistep ). This is a desktop app. This will be used by all our client on their end so we cannot use the GPU and the answer must take 5 second maximum.

We think that solution like MMocr, keras OCR or paddle OCR could work but we never worked with machine learning based OCR.

Do you think you can work with us on this? Do you think it is doable? Of course it would be paid work.

I also sent you an email with some image preprocessed if you wanna test our image.
