Plasma 6.6 is now live!

@kde@floss.social where's all that collected data going to?

[kde@floss.social]

Also don't forget the new feature that allows you to turn whatever modifications you have done to the looks of your desktop into a global theme.

Or how you can change the intensity of a window's frames; or...

So much to pick from

@kde spectacle OCR?? LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@kde This is a fully offline OCR method, right?

The "frame intensity" setting is a very much needed thing though I'll admit.

EDIT: Looks like it is entirely local. Great!

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@gjersey999 @kde You mean the OCR? I'd like to verify about this too, but presumably it's an offline standard OCR method. Hopefully. Since it's primarily for text being rendered within the same computer and thus digital accuracy of digital fonts, it probably doesn't require much to do an OCR and even simpler/older methods likely work well without having to resort to "AI" "vision" methods.

Or so I hope (but still would like to see confirmation.)

EDIT: Someone says they looked at the code and it's local OCR via a long time developed OCR model.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@enqfila @kde Great to hear! I thought it would probably be so.

@kde uuuuuh i hope #bazzite includes the keyboard! Or at least i could add it via ostree

[jrepin@mstdn.io]

@nazokiyoubinbou @kde Yes OCR is completely local, Spectacle is using a local installation of tesseract-ocr

[randamumaki@mstdn.social]

@kde Is there proper dictation support?

[kde@floss.social]

@nazokiyoubinbou @gjersey999

Correct—Tesseract, a project started in the 1980s (!):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_(software)

And, yes, it operates exclusively offline.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@kde @gjersey999 Yeah, Tesseract is solid. Thanks for the official confirmation.
