is there any launcher out there which has got offline OCR support in recents like the Pixel Launcher? Not talking about the Google lens implementation in recents menu here. I uninstalled the Google App from my phone using SD Maid. The custom rom I use(EvolutionX) does have launcher3 as its default(basically identical to Pixel launcher in every aspect, just without that Select/OCR in recents menu, and its got a bit more customisability since it’s open source), but being able to select images/text right from the recents menu without having to connect to the internet was something that I found to be a really powerful tool. miss having it handy whenever I needed it…

    OCR = optical character recognition??

    If so, then I only know of a good app, dunno what you mean with “recents” and pixel launcher stuff exactly.

              He means the recent apps or app overview feature. If you drag up from bottom and hold for a few seconds you get a thumbnail view with all the recent apps opened on your phone. In that view, you can select text seen inside the app.

                Guess it’s something Google specific, never seen that.
