What could manage character recognition from binary files? For example: Text in a .gif .jpg .png etc. Optics are more analog > digital, no?

@mollydotcom really needs to be something like a variant of the PDF OCR engine. If Adobe can do OCR from image why not a cloud OCR tool?

@mollydotcom Have you seen CuneiForm? It looks like their website may have been hacked, sadly, but you can still download it elsewhere.

@mollydotcom IIRC it could take PNG or GIF and extract text… decently, if not very accurately. While since I used it.
