Awesome! I'm currently working on the exact same thing (but with OCR added). Thank you for releasing this.

Hmmm... what does "with OCR added" mean? If there is text in the video (e.g. street sign) that it can also be searched??

No, that wouldn't work too well. It's for YouTubers who stream their desktop screens and I need to extract some information to automatically process it. The desktop streams always look very similar so I don't need advanced AI/neural nets to extract that.
