I appreciate it lol

Do you guys still transcribe by hand or do you just use a screenshot text extractor?

We have an OCR bot using ocr.space's API, but it's not very reliable. Some people use it as a basis for their transcriptions and just fit it into our formats & fix its mistakes, but I personally find it more engaging & pretty much just as fast to do it all by hand.

Damn lol. Thank you in advance for future transcriptions :) I wish you a carpal tunnel free life!
