# FindTextFromVideo
Commandline tool to find text from video file using OCR!

### Why?
I recorded +1hr clip that had some personal info in few frames, but cannot find where it was.. So, i think its easier to write tool to search text from video, that trying to find those frames by scrubbing video. Lets see?
