paused videos get OCR'd into text

First Steps

• Get Image of Paused Video
  • Pull html
  • Find relevant video element (with jQuery?)
  • If is paused, turn element into image
  • An alternative to scraping the html for the video element would be to accept some sort of user input like a user-defined area (a click-and-drag square).
• Apply OCR to image
  • Tesseract.js is a possibility
  • Though tenserflow would be more versatile and, of course, more fun/cooler
• Output text from image
