What's the performance like compared to tesseract? I don't see tesseract mentioned anywhere in the readme, which is surprising considering that's the number one tool most go to for Image > text OCR.

No rigorous eval, and I love Tesseract. Here's the example that motivated me to build textsnap (which is in the github's README), parsed with Tesseract:

Very noticable difference and the exact issue I run repeatedly with tesseract! Definitely going to try dropping textsnap into my scripts now. Thanks!!
