Feature Request: positional ocr of dvd and bd subs (in combination with tesseract)

[techguru]

if you combine ffmpeg and tesseract(and maybe opencv)....it should be possible to get positional frame data of the text in the frame
and its been a BADLY needed feature for those of us that do OCRing of dvd and bd subs for many many years now

I have attached a very good example of the sub files that has a lot of this positional use

(and yes I understand theres no positional data in the sub file...thats where ffmpeg in conjunction with tesseract should come in...it should be able to find that data in relation to the size of the frame)

the output subtitle would have to be .ass since its one of the more popular types with positional awareness

That is all done in Subtitle Edit 3.6.12.

no its not...it can only ocr it and put it at the bottom
it doesn't know positioning

NISKE...author of SE..WANTS to add this feature...but the frame needs to be processed by a ffmpeg/libav to pass that data to tesseract first
