working with continuous OCR capture across 3 monitors using screenpipe. at 1.2fps you get usable text extraction but use 600mb-2gb ram.

biggest issue is OCR can't distinguish directionality - ie. if someone messages you, or you type "let's cancel the meeting" the text is identical but the intent isn't

You scrape your screen continuously and OCR it? Never heard of this use case.
