🚀   Usage

1. Click on the "Import Image(s)" button to select the images you want to OCR (remove the text of)
   • You can select 1 image, or multiple by ctrl + clicking the images or drag selecting them
2. Select the language that the text is in
   • By default, the language is Korean, but Chinese, Japanese, and English is also supported.
   • Please request for more languages here
3. Select the confidence level by dragging the slider
   • Confidence level is how "sure" the AI is that the text is the language you selected
   • By default, the confidence level is 0.4.
   • The higher the number, the less likely text is recognized and OCR'd, but the text is more likely to be the selected language
   • The lower the number, the more likely that more text is recognized and OCR'd, but the text may include symbols or parts of the art
4. Select which texts to remove
   • You can select chosen outlined text or click the "select all" button to remove all chosen text
5. Select any additional options
