Video OCR - Extract On-Screen Text from Video (Captions)

Read hardcoded (burned-in) subtitles and captions straight from the picture of a video file and get them back as timed text segments, a transcript and an SRT/VTT subtitle file. Only the bottom of the frame is read, so signs and logos are ignored. MP4/WEBM/MOV from your storage, Dropbox or Google Drive.
