The title is very misleading for me, I expected magic but it was kind of disappointing. They don't even OCR actual video, instead they just take a few screenshots.

I can't think of a better way to OCR video though. You have render a frame to scan for text. And he automates it. You could hypothetically do that on more frames if you see it missing text.

maybe grabbing the frame before the video compression and use 100% quality JPEG when grabbing a frame would help for the OCR
