   Since this is for the mac you really should be using apple's vision framework for OCR. It smokes tesseract in both speed and accuracy.

   Edit: I'm curious which LLM was used to generate the code. I fed the title of your post to claude/deepseek/qwen/codex asking to recommend a stack for this project, expecting to frown thinking that they still recommend tesseract. However, I found that they all recommend apple's vision framework. In fact the latest model to recommend Tesseract is gpt-4.1.

      And this is why vibe coders always make inferior software.

         Compared to who? Every professional developer? Someone learning to code? Fabrice Bellard?
