xrem

Cross-platform in-progress implementation of rem

Way too early to use- seriously, it's not useful yet.

I don't care

Fine. Just run:

cargo run --release

Does a lot worse in debug mode in terms of performance.

"implemented" (read: likely terrible)

Currently implements, in a parallel / non-blocking way:

  • screenshot capture every 2 seconds
  • OCR at capture time
  • calculate text embedding (rem doesn't have this yet lol)
  • stream to mp4 without writing pngs to disk

Demo of the above implemented features:

Taking screenshots + ocr transcript printed to terminal, screenshots streamed to videos and saved, then manually showing this by scrubbing.

out.mp4

It can keep up on my M1 Air, haven't tested elsewhere yet...

BUT, this is using cross-platform rust libraries for the functionality we need.

FAQ

  • when will it be ready?
    • idk, but with your help it might go faster
  • why is the current ocr solution screaming about ARNs?
    • idk, if it was AWS's textract it might make more sense
  • not having live text analysis (MacOS) seems like selecting from past screenshots will be much harder to build
    • yeah

drafted / in progress / might work if actually called

  • DB layer -> talking to duckdb
  • frame extraction by index from mp4 videos

not implemented at all

  • timeline UI / full screen ui leverage frame extraction
    • Live OCR
      • overlay transparent text on image so as to be selectable
    • winit + wry? (html / js / css)
    • winit + iced? (rust)
  • search UI (display thumbnails, matched text, date, application?)
  • settings
  • tray icon + menu
  • window-specific OCR / filtering
