  • Reports more errors when request fails.
  • Cancels previous request when making new request
  • Ollama support
  • Use original screenshot resolution instead of window resolution point except explore mode.
  • New Workflow: Use Command+Control+Shift+W/V to set the target to a window/VOCursor and perform the OCR scan. After that, the features such as real-time OCR, explore, and ask will use the target.
  • Reset shortcut if there are different features after an update
  • Bug fix: global shortcuts sometimes not active
  • Customize shortcuts
  • Token usage at the end of description
  • Support system prompt for GPT

  • You can just press return to ask GPT without editing.
  • Changed diff algorithm for less verbose realtime OCR.
  • Realtime OCR remains active at its initial location, allowing you to move the VOCursor during the process. To perform realtime OCR in a different location, stop the OCR, move the VOCursor, then restart realtime OCR.

  • Able to toggle obbject detection from the setings.

  • Moved save OCR result to the menu.
  • Moved target window to settings menu.
  • auto Scan: Thanks @vick08
  • Readme Improvement: Thanks @ssawczyn

The GPT features utilize GPT-4V, and they require your own OpenAI API key.

Explore feature only works with GPT, and location information from the model is extremely unreliable and inaccurate.

Instruction for Ollama

  • Download Ollama and install.
  • Open terminal, and type "ollama run llava" without the quotes.
  • Wait until you get the prompt >>> send a message
  • Then type /bye and press return
  • Quit terminal
  • Go to VOCR menu > Settings > Models and select Ollama

Experimental

These features may not make into the public release.

  • Identify object when navigation is active: Command+Control+I
  • Explore window with GPT: Command+Control+Shift+e
  • an option to switch to using a local model such as Llava using llama.cpp instead of GPT.

Warning: It's very complex to set your own Llama.cpp server.
