Use case
OCR burned-in subtitles from video
Recover subtitles that are burned into the picture by selecting the subtitle area, running OCR, reviewing text, and exporting subtitles.
When subtitles are part of the video frame, you need OCR plus review before the text is useful as an editable subtitle file.
Select the text area, run OCR, inspect the detected text, keep versions, and export subtitles that can continue into translation or renaming.
