Screen Recording to Text - On-Screen Text from Tutorials

Turn a screen recording, software tutorial or demo video file into searchable text: every piece of on-screen text (menus, URLs, code, slide titles, error messages) with its time range and a frame image, plus one full text. Unchanged frames are skipped, so you only pay for frames where text was found.
