OCR-Bot

Discord.js bot that can be set to transcribe message attachments from specific discord channels using tesseract.js.

Usage:

• To transcribe a single message select Apps > OCR from message's context menu.
• To enable automatic transcription in a channel make sure the bot can view channel, send messages and read message history (that one is required to be able to link the original message when responing).
  Then bot owner or someone with manage channel permission can use /toggle-ocr to toggle automatic transcribing.
• You can use /ocr-status to check if automatic ocr is enabled in current channel
