Screenshot to Code - Science Fiction or Reality? 📸👩‍💻

@monoshitsu1974 Hey Dale! That's fantastic that you see the value in accurate code capture from screenshots for improving productivity. I'd love to know if you're currently using any specific tool or method for this? Just to share, I work at Pieces.app and we're building Pieces for Developers. We've developed a suite of AI-powered tools, optimized for managing code snippets across the web, IDEs, and collaboration platforms. A significant feature is our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tech, which can capture and convert code from screenshots into editable text with impressive accuracy. We are preparing for our Product Hunt launch and are keen to gather as much feedback as possible. It's completely free, so do give it a spin when you have some time and let us know what you think. Your insights would be extremely valuable to us. 🚀🧩

@priyanka_pahari1 Hey Priyanka! It's great to hear that you see the potential in code capturing from screenshots. You're spot on about the importance of accuracy and compatibility with various programming languages and styles. In the interest of full disclosure, I work at Pieces.app and we're building Pieces for Developers. We've precisely addressed these challenges with a suite of AI-powered tools. A key feature is our state-of-the-art OCR technology, designed to capture and convert code from screenshots into editable text with high accuracy across different programming languages. We're about to launch on Product Hunt and we're gathering as much feedback as we can. I'd love if you could give it a try and share your thoughts. Your feedback could be instrumental in shaping the next frontier in coding productivity. 🚀🧩

@mason_at_pieces Hey, Mason. I'm eager to see it in action. Would it be possible to schedule a demo session? I'd love to explore the features and functionality firsthand. Please let me know the best way to proceed. Looking forward to learning more about your product!

@priyanka_pahari1 @masnwilliams this in app would be absolutely amazing i was thinking about this for a long time as well i just didn't have the skill set to build it yet. but please keep us updated when you release thank you!

@the_fig Hey Anthony! We actually already have this tech built into our app! Check it out here: https://pieces.app You can check out our recent Product Hunt release here: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@volcohara the way i was thinking of it was if you seen like a html page you like you take a snap of it and the the coder will break it down in html for you thats just 1 example. idk anything about the cia coder stuff your talking lol

@volcohara @the_fig A great example of this is when you're watching a YouTube video of a coding tutorial. You see the code on your screen but don't want to write it all out manually. So now you can simply take a screenshot of the paused video, paste that into Pieces for Developers, and we will automatically convert that to actual code with adding context!

@volcohara @the_fig @masnwilliams it would be very helpful with a video! however, you need to think about how you will copy the entire code, since usually the video only shows part of the code on this screen when paused and you have to take several screenshots and then glue them together somehow?
