Screenshot as an API

Warning

This post is more than a year old. Information may be outdated.

With ML advancements, screenshots are now a universal data format.
- (decoder) relatively easy to extract...
  - meaning (image-to-text)
  - layout information (object recognition)
  - text (OCR)
  - other metadata (formatting, fonts, etc.)
- (encoder) diffusion-based models like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E (text-to-image) Prompt Engineering
What's good:
- Easier to parse than highly complex layout formats
  - No need to understand PDF data format
  - No need to hydrate webs for web crawlers
