ScanHUD: OCR & AI Analysis for Unselectable Logs

ScanHUD — OCR & AI Analysis for Unselectable Logs ScanHUD is a privacy-first tool for engineers dealing with logs and screen output that cannot be selected or copied. It extracts text directly from the screen using local OCR and can optionally analyze the results with AI using your own OpenAI API key. Extract text from: • Remote desktop sessions (RDP / VNC) • Cloud consoles (AWS, GCP, Azure) • Monitoring dashboards (Grafana, Datadog) • Terminal output shown in videos or recordings • Screenshots and error dialogs No retyping. No screenshots. Just select → extract → copy. Key Features ✔ Extract text from unselectable logs and screen output ✔ Works on remote desktops, dashboards, videos, and screenshots ✔ Built for logs, console output, JSON, and configs ✔ Optional AI analysis for faster debugging ✔ One-click copy to clipboard ✔ Side panel to review extracted results AI Log Analysis (Optional) ScanHUD can analyze extracted text using AI to help understand logs, errors, or stack traces. The AI feature uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model: • Use your own OpenAI API key • Only text you explicitly choose is sent for analysis • ScanHUD does not run its own AI backend This keeps the tool flexible while allowing fast debugging assistance directly from the extension. Privacy-First Design ScanHUD is designed as a local-first developer tool. • OCR runs locally in your browser using Tesseract.js • No cloud OCR services • No tracking or telemetry • No background monitoring of pages Your screenshots and extracted text never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to analyze them with AI. Typical Use Cases • Copy logs from cloud dashboards where selection is disabled • Extract terminal commands from tutorials or recorded demos • Capture error messages from RDP or remote sessions • Recover JSON or configuration blocks from screenshots • Quickly understand logs using optional AI analysis ScanHUD focuses on one thing: turning unselectable screen text into usable logs — locally, privately, and now with optional AI assistance.
