Quickly passing a screenshot to Pleco

[Shun]

Hi Mike,

if I take a screenshot in an app that doesn‘t allow its text to be copied to the clipboard, I think it would be nice if one could pass that screenshot right to Pleco‘s OCR module, emulating Pleco Android’s soon-to-be-banned Screen Reader function. So Pleco could be added to this menu:



That would reduce the number of taps needed to three. For looking things up in selectable text, this isn’t needed, of course. (I know this feature is coming soon.) But Google Play Books, for example, is an app with some nice books, but bad iOS integration.

Thanks!

Shun

That should be supported with our new app extensions in 4.0.

Thanks, I agree it makes sense to add it to 4.0 and not to 3.2.

Is this now a feature with 4.0 or has an equivalent workflow been released? I'm trying to figure out how to not need to save the screenshots to my photo library each time.

Yes, you can share it with 'read in Pleco'

That’s awesome, so just to confirm, this is just on 4.0 currently?

Yes.
